Most people hear the words gangs or mafia, their minds typically go to that of Al Capone and the Chicago Outfit (aka Outfit, Chicago Mafia, or the South Side Gang.) But not everyone knows of the one that comes from right here in Michigan and was pretty infamous during the Prohibition Era. The Purple Gang! I first heard from them from a previous job, which I talk about in the podcast and why it fascinated me. And now, come with me as I lead you into the rise and fall of the Purple Gang.
If there is any other gangs or mafias you'd like me to cover, please leave me a comment down below!
