It happened after Prohibition ended.Before I'd buy that, you'd have to present proof of long term model citizenhood of former bootleggers on a wide ranging scale, not one or two stories. And not a short term drop in crime.

Well, I was going say the Kennedy's (Joe Kennedy made his fortune running bootleg liquor), but that wouldn't prove my point, would it?

Speaking of the Kennedy's, if it wasn't for Prohibition and the opportunity to make a large amount of money illegally, we would never have had Ted Kennedy, would we?
