Yes, its called the "Outfit". Current boss is unknown but is believed to be either John DiFronzo, Joey "The Clown" Lombardo, Joe "The Builder" Andriacci, or James Marcello who was a long-time Carlisi lieutenant and is currently in prison. The Outfit is still around but low profile, but has a few important city officials in their pockets. The rest of these idiots dont know what their talking about!

In the 20's. There was Al Capone. There was a movie about it called "The Untouchables." Some say that the Chicago political machine runs like organized crime.

Not at all! Al Capone was only ever convicted of tax evasion.
