The Similarities and Differences of Al Capone and Meyer Lansky In the 1920's, American lifestyle changed dramatically. Prohibition became a very big deal in America which led to an uprising in crime. Illegal businesses including bootlegging, gambling, prostitution and being hit men were big time money makers. The uprising of organized crime, led by mobsters, ran the show when it came to these illegal activities. This organized crime was the Mafia, one of the most powerful groups in the history of America besides the American Government and among them the Italian Mafioso and the Jewish gangsters were two of the most powerful crime groups. When you hear of the term "Public Enemy Number One," Alphonse Capone comes to mind. He is recognized worldwide as the infamous "Chicago Gangster". Capone began his career in Boston, Mass. as an apprentice to Johnny Torro, a member of the Mafia. Instinctive
He believed that a gun was a solution to all problems. Another difference of Capone and Lansky was that Capone only attended school through the sixth grade (since he beat up his teacher). Capone ended up at Alcatrez where his health began to deteriorate, ended up with syphilis and became insane. Capone's motivation was to be and stay the "big dog". Lansky on the other hand was well read and very studious. While Capone was running a payroll of over three-hundred-thousand dollars a week among other funds, Lansky was investing and hiding millions for the Syndicate. What Capone did was well known to the police and others. Besides Capone and Lansky being involved with the Mafia, they were close to Lucky Luciano, the successful mob leader of New York which helped them along the way for their success. In the early 1970's he was estimated to have at least three-hundred-million dollars. They were also major business men; money was everything. Capone mixed very well with political, business, and social figures. Meyer Lansky is known as the godfather of the National Crime Syndicate. In fact, Lucky Luciano (an Italian mobster) would say that other followers should always "listen to him".
