Jay was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! I was disappointed that we paid more online than those who walked on and paid. Also wanted to share The story of Edward "Easy Eddie" O'Hare, Al Capone's bookkeeper, is one of betrayal and redemption. Initially, O'Hare was Capone's lawyer and confidante, deeply involved in the mobster's criminal empire, particularly the greyhound racing operations. However, he later became a key informant for the IRS, providing crucial evidence that helped convict Capone on tax evasion charges. This act of defiance came at a great personal cost, as O'Hare was murdered a week before Capone's release from prison. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Early Life and Business: Edward J. O'Hare, known as "Easy Eddie," was a lawyer who became involved with Al Capone through their shared interest in greyhound racing. He ran dog tracks for Capone's syndicate in Chicago, Florida, and Massachusetts, amassing considerable wealth. Turning Against Capone: In a move that surprised many, O'Hare decided to cooperate with the IRS, providing information that helped them build a case against Capone. This decision was likely motivated by a desire to protect his son, "Butch" O'Hare, and potentially secure his admission to the Naval Academy. Providing Key Evidence: O'Hare gave investigator Frank Wilson crucial information about Capone's finances, including details about the jury tampering scheme. He also helped break the code used in Capone's ledgers. Personal Sacrifice: O'Hare's cooperation with the IRS was a dangerous undertaking. He was murdered in 1939, likely by Capone's associates, just days before Capone's release from prison. Legacy: O'Hare's son, "Butch" O'Hare, became a decorated World War II fighter pilot and was honored by having Chicago's O'Hare International Airport named after him. This act of remembrance ensures that Easy Eddie's story, and his son's heroism, are not forgotten.
