Al Capone was inducted into the Masseria family in 1928 and then in 1931 transferred to the Chicago family and was recognized as Boss. It's not splitting hairs it's just stating what actually happened. Al Capone didn't create his own family he transferred membership to a existing one. There's no other scenario that played out. This is what happened. Nicola Gentile and Joe Bonanno told us this I think August Maniaci did too.
