Everything That Happened After Al Capone Went To Prison

The Chicago Outfit was founded during the 1910s, but it became notorious under the leadership of Al Capone. When crime boss Johnny Torrio invited Capone to Chicago from New York in 1920, it set the foundation for Capone's rise to the top.

Capone, leader of the Outfit from 1925 to 1931, was involved in underground activities long before taking over the group. Even after he went to prison in 1931, Capone may have had some knowledge of what the Outfit was up to. However, his mental deterioration from syphilis was so severe that the former gangster was released from prison early as a result.

Between 1939 and 1947, Al Capone lived out his days in Florida. The void left in the Chicago Outfit by Capone's absence was long ago filled, but when Capone passed away on January 25, 1947, he left behind one son, a wife, a mother, and numerous siblings.

So, what happened to the Chicago Outfit? Who took over? And what happened to Al Capone's son and other family members? We got curious and had to find out for ourselves.

I'm overjoyed the narrator is back for good

A brother of Al Capone was convinced that he had killed someone in a fight so, he ran away to the circus in the Midwest. Years later he reconnected with Al who confessed that the person was not killed. Al was beaten up by this brother after the revelation. Correct?

I always felt a little bad for Elliot Ness since his career pretty much stopped after he helped arrest Capone and died in obscurity without many people knowing who he was until the Untouchables TV show came out.

the true story of James Capone (Hart) is absolutely fascinating.. do an episode just about him..

Cool fact, I lived in one of his old homes in Michigan. Right across the river from his lieutenant’s home later owned by Muhammad Ali. We found thousands of liquor bottles on the property and it had a built in watch tower and siren.

Larger than life, Al was. His name will be remembered for a long time to come.

This is something I was probably thinking about, or at least as a passing thought.

Heard a rumor that Al Capone had a summer place on Gun Lake in Southern Michigan.

Yo please do a timeline on the 2000's. I wanted this for a long time because despite being born in '07, never truly experienced the decade

[Lkydo]

I really enjoy this narrator I'm glad he's doing more videos again... Couldn't stand the other guy doing the videos I couldn't watch them makes me think of someone running their nails across the chalkboard...

[Kat-trig]

Bring back the Timeline videos. They were by far the BEST thing on this channel, and we all want to see more.
