THE DOWNFALL OF AL CAPONE: WHO IS TO BLA...

The Alarmist
About this episode

Who’s to blame for the downfall of Al Capone?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes writer Seth Reiss to take on the downfall of one of history’s most infamous mobsters, Al Capone. And we nailed it! Or did we? If indeed Capone had a downfall, who was ultimately to blame? Did his violent leadership style lead to his eventual demise? Was it the familiar tale of tax evasion? Or is defeat just part of the lifestyle when you’re public enemy number one? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
