- One of the leading mobsters in early 20th Century America.
Johnny Torrio’s rise would see him become the leader of the Chicago Outfit, which introduced mobsters such as Frankie Yale and the infamous Al Capone.
Torrio’s cunning and brains for business would also see him become respected by leading gangsters Charles Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, where together they would form the National Crime Syndicate which connected gangs of various ethnicities to help end wars on the streets.
Things would soon go downhill for Torrio though after his partnership with Irish gangster Dean O’banion would escalate into a war. Leading to Torrio getting shot and fleeing Chicago, with Al Capone talking over his criminal empire.
So what was life like for one of history’s most famous mobsters?
Does anyone want to see a dedicated video on Al Capone?🤷
I’d wait on him. So many more lesser known guys that are super interesting. You could do Paul Kelly who was like Torio’s mentor.
Though I suppose Capone would be more popular.
Great suggestion!
I’ll add Paul Kelly onto my list of upcoming videos👍
NO.AS EVERYONE KNOWS..Theres myth.hollywouldnt help you.versions..Plus like wth J.Dillinger..et al..Those whom knew.never talked about it..!!'So NO !!
@@pena.3302 Agree! There’s definitely myths out there🤔
Boardwalk empire captures this story so well
Thanks for taking the time in watching my video👍
I do plan to check out Boardwalk Empire once I’ve completed my planned set of videos on the early 20th Century gangsters. I definitely would like to see how accurate I was with my videos🤔
You should do a video on the black mobster ellsworth bumpy johnson
Thanks for the suggestion Devon.
I featured him briefly in my Dutch Schultz video, but he definitely deserves his own video! I’ll add it on the list of upcoming videos over the next few weeks👍
Disney?
Sadly not😩 Unfortunately it’s just the basic art style that I can do at the moment.
I do hope that my art improves one day to be at the Disney level🤞
