Work Experience
BOSS | Chicago Outfit | LINK

- 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

- 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
