October 17, 1931. Chicago's most powerful crime boss walked into a federal courtroom... and walked out in handcuffs.
But not for murd... Not for bootlegging. Not for any of the viol... crimes he actually committed.
Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion.
The man who orchestrated the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Who bribed judges, police chiefs, and politicians. Who built a criminal empire worth over one hundred million dollars in today's money.
All brought down by an accountant with a calculator.
The FBI spent years building cases against Capone. Every witness disappeared or refused to testify. Every piece of evidence mysteriously vanished. Capone seemed absolutely untouchable.
Then the IRS agent Eliot Ness noticed something simple: Capone lived like a king but reported zero income.
The evidence? Custom suits worth $60,000. A mansion in Miami. Diamond jewelry. Private chefs. All purchased with money that "didn't exist" according to his tax returns.
