Ed Helms

Kathleen was probably wondering about all that new dough that Richard was showing off.

Turns out Richard had a bit of a safety net, his brothers, something he'd never let on to anyone in Homer. You see, while Richard Hart was strutting his stuff under a 10-gallon Stetson, his real identity was hidden. The truth is that Richard Two-Gun Hart was an Italian immigrant. His real first name was Vincenzo, and his last name, it wasn't Hart. It was a last name you've definitely heard.

See, Richard slash Vincenzo's baby brother Alphonse was the one who really did something with the family name. You know him as Al Capone. Hold on a second. Al Capone's brother was a prohibition agent? Yeah, it's all as crazy as it sounds, folks. Once Richard, for simplicity's sake, let's just keep calling him Richard and not Richard Vincenzo Two-Gun Hart Capone.

Anyway, once Richard was off the government payroll, he reached out for help to Chicago, and his brother answered the call. Richard left Uncle Sam behind and moved on to the Capone family ledger, and from a shack to the nicest house in town. And what we do know is that his wife, Kathleen, wasn't the only one asking questions.

There were others cottoning on to Richard's hidden Capone identity, not to mention the clean new Seersucker three-piece suit that came with it. And here's where the story might start to sound familiar. When the government finally went after the Capones, they used the Mabel strategy, taking down bootleggers by way of tax evasion.

Mabel may have been gone for years by now, but the prosecutors who followed in her footsteps, well, they kept using her methods. They knew where the evidence was, in the bookkeeping. And the Capone family bookkeeper wasn't Al. Nope, the family bookkeeper was his brother, Ralph.

Money laundering. Take the dirty money from a criminal enterprise and put it through the spin cycle of a legitimate business with a little fabric softener and some tied fresh scent, and boom. On the other side, you've got a clean profit from a small business that you can safely tuck into a bank account. If you listened to the last season of Snafu, and if you didn't, you really should...

You would know that a certain J. Edgar Hoover, later known for his massive illegal surveillance programs, made a name for himself with cases like these. The Capone money laundering may have eluded most cops, especially if they were paid to look the other way, but Hoover's G-men sniffed it out. And when it came time to go to trial, they decided to make it a spectacle.

Once Ralph Capone was on the stand getting squeezed, he let slip that there was a secret Capone brother out back, pinning those crisply washed bills in the sun to dry. Yep, that's right. Even from all the way out in Homer, Richard was part of his mob family's money laundering operation. And so Richard was pulled out of Nebraska and paraded in front of the press in Chicago.

Testimony by Lost Capone. He peered through thick glasses and carried a white cane. He was led into the U.S. courthouse on the arm of his wife, a demure middle-aged woman who never could be mistaken for a gun maul. When she was asked for comment, Kathleen didn't give up much. All she said was, well, he's not a bad man. If you think about it, I bet none of the Capones thought they were bad guys.
