Capone and the Chicago Outfit - 08/02/13 07:14 AM
I am a new member of only a few weeks but I am curious to a few things. I am not from Chicago nor have I ever been there but to me it seems like every one is so obsess with the Outfit and how many made men are in it. Why is that? Base on my knowledge what made these families so great in the days was that no one knew the numbers and that was a strength in its self. Next is as we all know when you think of the Outfit Capone comes to mind. I always wonder why Capone over shadows Johnny Torrio. Torrio left Capone the Outfit am I right? He also was a huge influence with Luciano as well. Why doesnt Torrio ever get a mention? He to me was a huge influence on the Mafia. Like I said I am new and just curious to this.
