I stopped watching this two minutes into the video. So much of this is wrong/incorrect. Anyone who would really like to know about Karpis should buy his book. It is called the Alvin Karpis Story by Alvin Karpis and Bill Trent. It's a hardcover and if you search around, copies are available. I still have my copy that I bought in the 1970s. An excellent book for anyone interested in the criminals from the public enemy era of the early 1930s.
Karpis was sent to Alcatraz in 1936 and did 26 years and then transferred to McNeil Island he was a marble champion of Topeka Kansas. He auther two books and later lived out his last year in Spain.
Did you even do your research? So much about this is false/incorrect. First of all AK didn’t grow up in Montreal or Canada for that matter. AK was born in Canada yes but as an infant relocated to US. Karpis grew up in Wichita Kansas and Chicago. All the way through #9 where you say AK was from a different era than Capone. Also incorrect as they’re from the exact same era. Karpis was robbing banks and burglarizing across the Midwest at the same time Capone was being indicted for tax evasion. One of Karpis close associates baby face Nelson actually worked for the Touhy gang who were rivals to Capone at the time. Karpis even saved Nelsons life when Nitti put a hit on Nelson’s gang by informing baby face ab the hit. That’s what makes this era so interesting. So many faces doing incredible things at the same exact time in a few years span. SMH do more thorough research on the subject next time fella you’re video is interesting but it could be better if you stop spreading misinformation.
