Al Capone

Alphonse Gabriel Capone was an American gangster during the Prohibition as co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. His 7 year reign ended when he was 33. Capone indulged in custom suits, cigars, gourmet food and drink and prostitutes.

He was known for his costly jewelry. His responses about his mob business were: "I'm just a businessman, giving the people what they want"; and, "All I do is satisfy a public demand."

The bootlegging operation of Bugs Moran posed a challenge to Capone. Moran and Capone led a turf war with each other that cost dozens of lives.

Newspapers dubbed him Public Enemy No. 1.

On February 14, 1929, in an event which has become known as the Saint Valentine's Day massacre, 7 members of Moran's gang were gunned down on Capone orders.

The Saint Valentine's Day massacre damaged Chicago's and Capone's image, leading citizens to demand action.

Al Capone released from jail Chicago 1939.

Capone was prosecuted in 1931 for tax evasion. Mobsters led lavish lifestyles yet never paid taxes, and thus could be convicted of tax evasion without requiring evidence to get testimony. He was convicted and sentenced to 11 years. Capone showed signs of syphilitic dementia early in his sentence. When Capone was released in 1939 after 8 years he had the mind of a child.

Al Capone died on January 25, 1947 of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke.

A Colt .45 was the star and made $860k.

Granddaughters of Al Capone auctioned off his gear. Capone's .38 Colt pistol went for $200k. A pocketknife with the monogram AL in diamonds made $75k.

A platinum and diamond pocket watch made $190k.

174 items brought $3m in 2021.

Mongrel Mob boss Joseph Morrell checks out after bust

Motorcycles, cars and cash were among the $2.1 million of assets forfeited by senior Mongrel Mob Notorious gangster Joseph John Morrell after 2021 police investigation Operation Dusk. Joseph ‘Triple J’ Morrell was the captain of the Notorious chapter of the Mongrel Mob in Hawke’s Bay. A few weeks before killing himself, cops were granted High Court orders to freeze 5 residential homes, 6 vehicles, 3 Harley Davidson motorcycles, $74k in cash and bank accounts, a boat, and a Kobelco digger. Morrell was a wholesale meth dealer and lived an extravagent lifestyle, all paid for in cash.

Morrell had “not been coping well” since the seizure. In the week before his death, Morrell’s wife said he was continuously “agitated” and would go around the house thumping his fist into his head. His wife said Morrell would get up 20 or 30 times from bed, get dressed and go outside. He “had a lot going on in his head”, his wife said. She stopped her husband from attempting self-harm every night for five days leading up to the night of his death. The method of suicide cannot be reported in NZ, but Morrell suffered a head injury, which was bleeding. He likely shot himself in the head. Following his death, the $2.1m of assets restrained in Operation Dusk were forfeited under the Criminal Proceeds Recovery Act. His wife and 5 children will receive nothing from his estate.

Morrell also had a fleet of cars, including vintage Fords, which are prized by the Mongrel Mob.

Montreal mafioso Roberto Scoppa nailed - update

Roberto Scoppa is the brother of Andrew and Salvatore Scoppa, two leaders of a Calabrian clan of the Montreal mafia whacked in October and May 2019. Scoppa is facing extradition to the United States, where he is accused of distributing heroin and cocaine. The mobster's lawyers argue that the evidence against their client is mostly hearsay, and the rest wouldn't result in a jury finding him guilty in Canada.

The case against Scoppa rests in large part on a rat whose text messages were spied on by cops, whose phone was tapped, and who wore a wire during a meeting with Scoppa in Mexico. Cops lassoed 4 kilograms of heroin and 15 kilograms of cocaine in Operation Dead Hand.

When the drug delivery was late the conspirators fretted. “Bro clam down please.” Roberto Scoppa is said to have texted. 19 were busted. The boss was someone else in Canada, a man known as 'King', and identified as Guramrit Sidhu, 60.

Before their assassinations in 2019, cops placed Roberto Scoppa alongside his brothers in the organizational chart of the Montreal mafia. The latest bust shows Roberto Scoppa was always a major player with his brothers.

In January 2019, Roberto Scoppa traveled with Hells Angels boss Martin Robert to Colombia. He pleaded guilty to 12 charges in the 1990s and 2000s, in six different cases.

Salvatore Scoppa was gunned down in May 2019 in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel in Laval. Andrew Scoppa was killed October 21, 2019. Cops believe the Scoppa’s were involved in the murders of key Sicilian Rizzuto family mobsters including Rocco Sollecito and Lorenzo Giordano. Its thought the remains of the Rizzuto crime family led by Stefano Sollecito got their revenge.

Damiano Dipopolo and Sat Parhar bumboys

"I am not a bad risk. I am a successful businessman." - These immortal words are from July 2005, when former and now out bad Kelowna HAMC boss Damiano Dipopolo cried his heart out to the press that publicity had obstructed his purchase of the Champagne Charlie's building.

Cops released a list of gangster properties in Kelowna and Dipopolo appeared 7 times. Here. "I lost the mortgage I was going to have with the bank because they singled me out," Dipopolo said. "The bank said they thought I was a bad risk. I am not a bad risk. I am a successful businessman." Dipopolo's $300k all bad mortgage went to Sun News Lal, who was acquitted in a 1994 gangland murder trial along with Bindy Johal.

CPS Deputy Chief Sat Parhar was cleared of wrongdoing by piggies in 2013. The complaint came against the head of the organized crime unit in Calgary accusing him of suppressing evidence. Here.

Mr. Sat Parhar is involved with Damiano Dipopolo. He was Deputy Chief with the Calgary pigs who retired after 28 years in 2019. That's one highly rank oinker being paid to attend to Damiano DiPopolo's post-biker PR needs.

Parhar is invovled in s01ve Cyber Solutions.

Taylor Argue is good at one thing, waving a red flag. After easy due dilligence we learn his Victoria office is a mailbox drop and his Whitehorse office is a condo. Taylor Argue is a conman full of shit, and a poor one at that.

https://www.westbridgecanada.com/

His office in Calgary in reality belongs to https://retraincanada.com/. They draw government funding.

Taylor Argue holds a fire PI license, and most recently has been peddling his blockchain genius. This rubbish came as a result of his claim of running a 'risk management' company in Calgary. I told Taylor Argue that only an idiot would stand beside the out in bad Damiano Dipopolo, let alone be a paid off lying whoredog PoS for him. That is some real risk if a fraction of many rumours are true. Tyler Argue was hired by Paladin briefly in 2021. His stab at blockchain was 2022. His education is community college.

I sincerely hope this message finds you well. My name is Tyler Argue, and I am President & CEO of a risk management consulting firm based in Calgary, Alberta. I am contacting you regarding a matter concerning Mr. Damiano DiPopolo. Mr. DiPopolo, formerly associated with a motorcycle club, has embarked on a significant life transition. He has made a conscious decision to disassociate from his past affiliations and is earnestly working towards integrating into society as a constructive and responsible family man. This transformation, as you can imagine, necessitates the severance of ties with certain aspects of his previous life, particularly those within the motorcycle club community. In our role as a risk management consultant, part of our responsibility is to assist Mr. DiPopolo in mitigating any potential threats or challenges that may arise from his former associations. A key aspect of this process involves addressing public perceptions shaped by past media coverage, and monitoring active threats against him or his family.  It has come to our attention that several articles, some of which may have been published by yourself, or other journalists, are impacting his efforts to reintegrate. Given the sensitivity and importance of this matter, I am reaching out to discuss the possibility of re-evaluating this content. I understand the complexities involved in requests of this nature and am open to engage in a professional dialogue about how we might address these articles in a manner that respects journalistic integrity while supporting Mr. DiPopolo's efforts to reform and contribute positively to society. Would you be open to a conversation regarding this matter? Your cooperation and understanding iwould be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering. I look forward to the possibility of a constructive dialogue. Sincerely, Tyler Tyler Argue, CCFI-C President & CEO
