Al Capone And Bugs Moran Case Study

For our family feud assignment, we had the option to choose out of 10 people that had a feud with someone. I decided to choose Al Capone and Bugs Moran. Yes they aren’t family, but it was a very big feud that did happen in the past. I decided to choose Al Capone and Bugs Moran because I thought that their feud was very interesting.
