RE: Today in History: Al Capone released from Alcatraz

in #history6 years ago

I wonder why a guy who was in prison for being a mobster was allowed to keep his ill gotten fortune? I suppose you have to prove that it was all ill gained.

Sort:  

perhaps it was because R.I.C.O. (not the suave kind) hadn't been enacted yet. I'm not sure about this one. Today they would take everything from a mobster, yes.
