Al Capone was an American gangster who became infamous during the Prohibition era as the leader of the Chicago Outfit. Known for his involvement in illegal activities such as bootlegging, gambling, and violence, Capone's criminal empire made him one of the most powerful and feared figures in the United States. Despite his criminal activities, he was seen by some as a folk hero. Capone was eventually convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to prison, ending his reign of crime. His life and legacy continue to fascinate and influence popular culture.
"When I sell liquor, it's called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, it's called hospitality."
"This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it."
