Capone's Ruthless Pursuit of Wealth and Power
Upon seizing control, Capone transformed the Chicago outfit into an unprecedented money-making machine. His approach was marked by ruthless aggression and brutality, turning 1920s Chicago into an exceedingly dangerous place. Capone spared no measure to expand his empire, even resorting to violence, such as orchestrating explosions at venues that refused to purchase beverages from him, tragically claiming the lives of over 100 individuals. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the carnage wrought upon those who dared to oppose him in business.
Capone's foray into more lucrative ventures extended beyond alcohol sales to the operation and ownership of brothels, all under the protective umbrella of the Chicago Outfit.
