Meticulous Covering of Tracks

Capone’s ability to stay ahead of the game was predicated on his meticulous efforts to cover his tracks. He kept a low profile by refraining from registering property in his name and constantly shifting locations. Capone and his crew could hire an entire train car immediately, swiftly departing town and retreating to hidden luxury getaways, often scattered between Miami and Arkansas.

While Capone had a reputation for brutality, he was equally dedicated to avoiding failure and preserving everything he had worked tirelessly to achieve, legality notwithstanding. He was determined to maintain a decisive edge over all others.
