The prosecutors broke the law. Al Capone made a mistake when facing criminal tax charges is to hire a criminal defense attorney with no experience handling criminal tax matters. In fact, if Capone had hired a criminal tax defense attorney, he would have known that the statute of limitations on the IRS's claim had already expired. When facing tax evasion, tax fraud and other criminal tax charges, you need a lawyer who knows tax law.

Interesting fact.....the book keeper, "Easy Eddie," sold out Al Capone to get his son -- Butch O'Hare -- appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy. Butch O'Hare became a Navy pilot, and an American hero in WW2. Chicago's Airport -- O'Hare -- is named after this son of a former mobster who sold out Al Capone (eventually getting killed) to save his son.

@pocketsdoesstuff3880 3 года назад

I think something people don't realize is that Capone was hardly Capone anymore when Elliot Ness took him down. The end of prohibition cut into Capone's profits severely. Prior to the end of prohibition, Capone spent 54 million dollars a year in police protection. When he was taken down, 54 million a year was the entirety of his profits from his illegal businesses. I live pretty close to a place called the Luna Cafe. It was once a brothel established by Al Capone. Capone did not want to go to St. Louis to conduct business because of potential gang rivals there, so he established a place close by. I suspect that if he coordinated the St. Valentines Day Massacre personally, the Luna Cafe is a likely spot where he may have met with the St. Louis gangsters who posed as policemen that day.

The number of murders and other crimes committed by Capone was tragic also.

I remember the Al Capone's vault debacle so well everybody felt so cheated by this whole thing being from Chicago it was supposed to be exciting to see what did Al Capone really leave well he basically left his house on the Southside it was up for sale again I don't know if anyone actually bought it....

Geraldo Rivera, learn during the production that the vault was empty, however, he did not want to disclose his fact as he knew it would destroy the ratings. Geraldo was a crooked and a fraud from day one.

There was nothing in Al Capone's vault, but it wasn't Heraldo's fault

Scrolled down quite far for this, surprisingly.

Geraldo learned that the vault was empty prior to the taping of the shell, but still continue to pretend he hadn’t, because he didn’t want to destroy the potential viewership.
