Summary

On the 11th episode of the Sit Down, Jeff and BlackJack talk about the interesting life of the most recognizable gangster in American history, Al Capone. Capones reputation is interesting but it was all about connections and when you look back, he was born during the right time as he heads to Chicago to head up a large criminal syndicate. His problem would lie in the ledgers of his operation and his dismissal of a personal problem that would lead to his demise. As always thanks for listening and if you enjoy the show, please give us a deserved rating and leave us a comment! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
