Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed?
By Andrea Widburg
Al Capone was one of the early 20th century’s most infamous gangsters but that wasn’t why he ended up in Alcatraz. Instead, what the feds finally got him on was tax evasion. In Joe Biden’s case, although the facts are a bit different because the problem isn’t one of tax evasion but one of mysteriously reported taxable income, it does appear that we may finally be getting proof that Joe was deeply involved in Hunter’s overseas dealings and may have been doing influence peddling from the White House.
It was a female Assistant Attorney General who, in the early 1920s, figured out that one way to capture wealthy criminals was to compare their lifestyles with the low incomes declared on their tax returns and then to accuse them of tax evasion. In 1927, in United States v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court put its imprimatur on this tactic, ruling that illegally earned income is subject to taxation.
So it was that, in 1931, Al Capone was formally charged with income tax evasion and, eventually, sentenced to 11 years in prison, plus fines, court costs, and back taxes. Capone, riddled with syphilis and gonorrhea, served only eight years. He was released early because he was suffering from tertiary syphilis. Ironically, the mass production of penicillin in 1942 allowed him to live until 1947 when a stroke and heart failure finally got him.
