Al Capone controlled a city. He owned politicians, bribed police captains, and ran an operation grossing one hundred million dollars a year during Prohibition. What he never saw coming was the one threat he never bothered to take seriously — a federal tax case.
This episode traces the full arc of Capone's rise, from the Brooklyn streets where a teenage Alphonse Capone first learned the margins of organized crime under Frankie Yale, to the moment Johnny Torrio handed him Chicago at the age of twenty-six. Along the way, the story moves through the Four Deuces on South Wabash Avenue, the takeover of Cicero on election day 1924, the fortified Hawthorne Inn, and the Green Mill jazz club where Capone conducted business from a booth with clear sightlines to the door.
The violence escalates — the assassination of Dean O'Banion, more than a thousand rounds fired at the Hawthorne Inn, and eventually the St. Valentine's Day Massacre on North Clark Street in 1929, which shifted public opinion decisively against Capone. Eliot Ness and the Untouchables dismantled his bootlegging supply chain. Then came the IRS, and the assumption that no gangster in American history had yet been forced to confront: income tax evasion can do what bullets cannot.
From federal prison in Atlanta to Alcatraz, to the Palm Island house in Miami where syphilis claimed what the courts could not, this is the definitive chapter-by-chapter account of how the most recognizable criminal in American history was brought down by an accountant.
