Capone


Did you ever read John Davis' book MAFIA DYNASTY where he recounts meeting Luciano in Italy?
Lucky told him he could never start any business without
having the cops hassle him. At the time, his Italian Tomato importing business had just flopped. The Cops opened all the cans
looking for heroin.

Charlie was a racketeer, he was never big on all that Mafia stuff. He couldn't speak Sicilian well, and italian even worse.

He was hard up for cash towards the end. Like Lansky, he thought writing a memoir would be good for the bank acct.
