Did he really took orders from Lepke? At the time people thought Lepke was Anastasia's boss too and that wasn't the case. Capone had ties with a lot of jewish gangsters, including Purple Gang. He was close with Anastasia and seems logical for him to be the mediator between the two groups. He also had ties with Adonis through their labor rackets. We had a thread with better info recently: http://theblackhand.club/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4037

I haven't seen confirmation that he was made, but I think it's most likely he was. Capone had ties with some big figures in NYC as he was heavily involved in labor racketeering. On top of that he had connections and presence in Detroit too. He was a main messenger/liaison between the jewish gangsters and lcn about murder inc's activity, etc.

Was he a leader of any of the gangs that made up murder inc??

Does anyone know whether he was made - he was believed to be close to both Anastasia and Adonis! If he was what family was he made into?
