Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Eliot Ness accomplished nothing, a federal judge never allowed the charges from Ness, instead having Capone indicted for tax evasion.
Also, Ness met Capone after the trial. He was one of the agents that took Capone from the jailhouse to the train which brought Capone to prison.
Capone's first business as a young boy, was his own shoe shine stand. After it was destroyed by a large older cousin, he started paying attention to how the local gangs shook people down and did business. He was only 14 when his protection racket was noticed by gangster Johnny Torrio and taken under his wing.
That's mildly interesting...
wasnt he also kinda corrupt too?
