Work Experience


BOSS | Chicago Outfit | LINK

  • Led the nation's most powerful crime syndicate during Prohibition — revenue diversified across bootlegging, gambling, and hospitality

  • Survived multiple assassination attempts, machine-gun ambushes, and one highly publicized Public Enemy No. 1 listing
  • Famous quote: "I am just a businessman, giving the people what they want" — still used in MBA programs (unofficially)

  • Served as enforcer and deputy to Johnny Torrio after relocating from Brooklyn at age 20
  • Expanded illegal breweries and transportation networks reaching into Canada — geography optional per press statements

BOUNCER & ENFORCER | Harvard Inn | LINK

1917 – 1919

  • Employed and mentored by Frankie Yale at a Coney Island dance hall and saloon
  • Earned the nickname "Scarface" after a knife incident — always photographed from the right thereafter

Projects


Saint Valentine's Day Massacre | LINK

Feb 14, 1929

  • Orchestrated elimination of seven North Side Gang members in a Lincoln Park garage — alibi: Florida sunshine
  • Damaged Chicago's public image enough to trigger federal intervention and the Untouchables task force
  • Followed by strategic soup kitchen donations to restore brand reputation during the Depression

Operation Cicero Takeover | LINK

1924 – 1927

  • Used bribery and intimidation to capture Cicero town council elections — North Side rivals could no longer target HQ
  • Relocated operations from Chicago proper to a friendlier municipal jurisdiction with better parking
  • Achieved 100% council compliance — democracy, Chicago-style

Federal Tax Evasion Trial | LINK

1931

  • Convicted on five counts of tax evasion after admitting income during failed settlement negotiations
  • Sentenced to 11 years in federal prison — the only ledger that ever caught up with me
  • Supreme Court appeal strengthened tax law precedent; personal brand less strengthened
