Al Capone (1899–1947) was the most powerful crime boss in American history, ruling Chicago's underworld during Prohibition. Known as Scarface, he built a criminal empire worth an estimated $100 million through bootlegging, gambling, and prostitution. His downfall came not from rival gangsters but from the IRS — he was convicted of tax evasion in 1931 and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.
