@@AllenHanPR That's not how life expectancy works. The average is just a worthless number that had no bearing on how long people actually lived. Infant and child mortality had more to do with low average numbers than how long people who actually reached adulthood lived. Most people who didn't die before age 18 tended to live into their late 50's or early 60's. Even during the most brutal of medieval times, this was mostly true. Even if "average life expectancy was 40 years old at this time" people healthy enough to survive to adulthood made it into their 50's. 30 years old was not considered old age.
If Al Capone would have gone straight, he would have been a highly successful businessman. He took risks, knew how to exploit money-making opportunities, had a knack for organization and management. The perfect CEO.
You’re absolutely right about Capone. Hell, I’d argue that most of today’s drug dealers would be successful if they went legit. However, it’s very hard to go legit when you get a taste of easy money.

Capone agreed to a plea deal with the prosecution for tax evasion two year sentence. The judge rejected it and made him stand trial with a substituted jury. No movie or tv show I’ve seen has ever shown what actually happened. I’m sure Capone and the prosecution were shocked by the judge’s refusal to accept the deal.
He couldn't be a made man because he was not Sicilian nor of Sicilian descent. He was Neapolitan. The Cosa Nostra worked with him because he owned Chicago. His "Murder Incorporated", Anastasia's group of killers, killed mostly civilians, and unaffiliated criminals.
He had a safe house in the river bottoms 30 miles east of kc. Very nice looking place in the middle of miles of cornfields and 5 cellars, which was used to store booze
The one thing i do admire is that Mr. Capone fed many poor and hungry citizens during the great depression, operating a multitude of soup kitchens ... coming from an italian background, i can say that does warm my heart because food is what we italians will always share to comfort others and show our gratitude ...:) xox
Aswell as sharing the fascism that the Italians invented in 1921 under Mussolinis first ever Fascist party. Im sure you will find some way to flip that historical fact into some romanticize version to warm your heart to.
That was exactly the point. To win over simple minded people like you into believing that what he was doing was good for the poor and unfortunate people.

Al Capone was finally sent to prison for failing to lodge tax papers. Today America has a president that BRAGS that he hasn't paid tax. My, how America has fallen,
By 1931, Capone's only rival was special Agent, Eliot Ness, and his Untouchables! They were a team of 11 agents, who helped bring Capone's beer racket down. Ness and his men attacked Capone's breweries, and cut a big part of his illegal income off. Ness and his men truly deserve all the glory they have gotten over the years.
AL CAPONE AND EL CHAPO are very similar in ways they both were the heaviest moving Smugglers and Both Smuggled in Chicago,Similarities in Ruthlessness,but also They Both helped people and did the Robin Hood deal opened up soup kitchens and built places to live companys to work and not to mention both of there downfalls was Publicity they couldn't stay out of the Light
Did anybody ever escape then?Seems like even if you beat then once they just keep coming back with charges till they get you on one .Seems like they have fixed jury who would put a girl scout for selling cookies without a permit to jail for life /temporary evidence to put you away even if you are innocent .
No. He was chosen because it was his turn. He was tipped off by the head of the IRS team investigating Capone, who was tipped off by the local feds. The IRS accountants and detectives spent four years working up the case against Capone, according to the head of the group, who wrote a book on their investigation, which was not triggered by any informant, but by the records of a bookmaker, whose records traced back to an alias of Capone.
Capone should have created his own foundation only for the purpose of money laundering as Russians do in America. Lucky Luciano was much smarter than he was.
My very favorite Al Capone quote was “you can get a lot further with a kind word and a gun , than just a kind word “

There are no real gangstas now a days. There’s drones and IT specialist who can take u down with the snap of a finger. It’s about being a real man. Raise ya kids.
Publicity that s what got me. Nowadays it's social media that gets them.
Even you or somebody. Or nobody #capone #legend
2:31 I would be livid if someone served me a beer with that much head 😝😂
"Judge got wind of it" like he was honest............in Chicago at that time period! Or even Now! lol
He was making $100 MILLION dollars a year . Then along came Eliot Ness and his team...
Having bank accounts in foreign countries and earning interest is also taxable in US.
My great great grandfather worked with al Capone
Did eveyone wear hats back in the 30s?
No, but when you have black and white film, you have two options. Blues and greens are going to look black.
simon madi yes that was InStyle till the 70’s
@@cougarhunter33 he said hats not black hats
I love it
they didnt die from sun cancer but from a gun called tommy.
Great documentary. Also great narration by actor Peter Coyote (E.T., Timerider, Sphere, etc).
Al got done dirty back in the day the corrupt of the government has never left since its inception. Even 100 years ago the justice system was corrupt.
Good citizens of Chicago. Never been such a person.
Capone was a business genius.. If he were legit.. he would be running one of the top Fortune 500 companies.. if not , two or three of them!!
@Arn does I dont think the Gvt gave Al syphyllis .. He was a real hound for the whores and cocaine ... Plus , they got him on tax evasion!
What documentary is this?
My father was born in his own city of origin and from which his family came (Castellammare di Stabia)
Al Capone was finally sent to prison for failing to lodge tax papers. Today America has a president that BRAGS that he hasn't paid tax. My, how America has fallen,
David Edwards it wasn't legal to evade then. They changed the laws now ,they don't pay tax and its legal.go figure😎
Actually, Trump has paid taxes; what he hasn't done is make his tax records public. Saying he hasn't paid income tax is downright defamatory.
Trump pays his taxes idiot
Hello!!Goodbye!!! He went bankrupt 3 times!
The man of the era Al Capone What does that have to do with him paying his taxes
Meyer lansky was much better in staying out of prison.
He was keeping his business underground, low profile.
i just watched ''the untouchables'' and here i am now.
Link bro😎
Jonathan is the type of guy you always see at 2am in the corner of your room.
Al capone might of been a gangster but a very smart business man.💰
Remember joe Kennedy was a bootlegger
By 1931, Capone's only rival was special Agent, Eliot Ness, and his Untouchables! They were a team of 11 agents, who helped bring Capone's beer racket down. Ness and his men attacked Capone's breweries, and cut a big part of his illegal income off. Ness and his men truly deserve all the glory they have gotten over the years.
AL CAPONE AND EL CHAPO are very similar in ways they both were the heaviest moving Smugglers and Both Smuggled in Chicago,Similarities in Ruthlessness,but also They Both helped people and did the Robin Hood deal opened up soup kitchens and built places to live companys to work and not to mention both of there downfalls was Publicity they couldn't stay out of the Light
he reminds me more of escobar on there rise to power
Elephant in a phone booth great line lol
All Iam going to say is that Al is a real gangster unlike these wannabes now
Mr Raymond Valachi Any relation to a certain squealer who ratted out his confederates in the Genovese mob?
And that isn't something to be proud of...
@@user-vl5qg5rf4n Iam not saying it is so stop being one of them people that are so stupid and don't understand what iam saying
Today they call themselves gangsters, there thugs, and slugs, capone was a gangster, when you mention is name you automatically think of chicago
Everybody's a dirty rat now that's that 🐀
Capone had quite the profile ...deep soul
4:37 what an awesome cameo
I have some experience in this area. When the Federal Government wants to get you they’re 99% likely to succeed.
Did anybody ever escape then?Seems like even if you beat then once they just keep coming back with charges till they get you on one .Seems like they have fixed jury who would put a girl scout for selling cookies without a permit to jail for life /temporary evidence to put you away even if you are innocent .
The so called judge handling Al Capone case was also involved I bet smh.....
so called? you dumb fuck
No. He was chosen because it was his turn. He was tipped off by the head of the IRS team investigating Capone, who was tipped off by the local feds. The IRS accountants and detectives spent four years working up the case against Capone, according to the head of the group, who wrote a book on their investigation, which was not triggered by any informant, but by the records of a bookmaker, whose records traced back to an alias of Capone.
Al Capone and baby face nelson are my two favorite gangstars
This guys a legend to me I even got a poster of him on the wall🤣
does anybody saw al capone talking?
I would like to wat he sounds like
+faty Mix me 2 man
Great grammar everyone. *slowly start to clap*
+Caleb Staley lmao
Let me help you out here, try it this way ok?.... Did anyone see Al Capone talking? Or, Has anyone seen video footage of Al Capone talking?...
Al Capone is the definition of a real gangster all these other wanna be are lame
"But where he's going he'll have time and nothing but."
The movie about him is awesome
Capone should have created his own foundation only for the purpose of money laundering as Russians do in America. Lucky Luciano was much smarter than he was.
Lucky might have been smarter, but al was the man
