Crime and their Victims
Tony Accardo was the longest-serving boss of the Chicago Outfit. He worked for Al Capone, then ran the crime group for many decades before his death in 1992. Although he is suspected in participating in over 20 murders, he only spent a single night in jail and died of natural causes - rare for a man in his line of business.

Fun Fact

Both Ohio State football legends and now superstars in the National Football league Joey Bosa and Nick Bosa’s family tree include their great-grandfather, Tony Accardo, who was perhaps the most powerful American mob boss of the 20th century.
