John, this is like the Al Capone story-in between killing off his rivals, buying off politicians etc., he also opened up numerous soup kitchens during the depression.

Does this make him a 'good guy'?

Interesting, you used Al Capone on your very first FR post back in January.

“More likely from Al Capone. He got a lot of love from Chi during the Depression by setting up soup kitchens.”
