80 years ago today Prohibition ended

[Ego Noir]

Prohibition was the white man's drug game. Hundreds of millionaires created overnight.


JFK's daddy made $3 billion dollars and there's nothing but, vague answers as to how


What they did wasn't any different than Rayful Edmond or Frank Lucas. Murder, guns, torture, extortion, robbery, assault, tax fraud. Because they were white though, it was different

Not to mention in that era there was groups of teens that were nothing but petty sloppy criminals.

When prohibition came it made that group MADE. Made into what we call the American Mafia.

You are retarded. The point of the thread was simple and it took you 2 pages to get it

I'm not a simple idiot like you. I like to mix it up a little bit. I was trying to celebrate a thread for us being able to drink legally. Stop making life difficult fukk nikka

this is all true except the 3 bil

After Kennedy's death, and only a week before his own death, gangsterFrank Costello claimed to an author/collaborator that he had been associated with Kennedy in bootlegging during Prohibition. To this day, as Kennedy's most recent and most thorough biographer David Nasaw asserts, no credible evidence has ever been found that links Joseph Kennedy to any illegal bootlegging activities. When Fortune magazine published its first list of the richest people in the United States in 1957, it placed him in the $200–400 million band ($1.66 billion–3.32 billion in today's dollars), meaning that it estimated him to be between the ninth and sixteenth richest person in the United States at that time.

Nah, it's true. Adjusted for inflation, he was worth between $1.6 billion and $3.3 billion. I don't know how you make $3 billion dollars without a real business. No Carnegie Steel. No Standard Oil. No JP Morgan....Just "investments"

Kennedy made a large fortune as a stock market and commodity investor and by investing in real estate and a wide range of industries. He never built a significant business from scratch, but his timing as both buyer and seller was usually excellent.

He was a fukkin bootlegger...
