Although not as large as some modern seizures, the discovery of Al Capone’s hidden cash in 1947 was significant for its time. Capone, a notorious American gangster during the Prohibition era, was known for his involvement in illegal alcohol distribution, gambling, and other criminal activities. After his death, authorities found approximately $10 million in cash hidden in various safes and secret compartments. This discovery provided a glimpse into the vast wealth accumulated by one of history’s most infamous criminals.
That is significant even for today. The money that they all made during prohibition was and still is mind boggling I’m sure. It made the American mafia and organized crime in general what it is today, I believe.
