Parenting Tip: If you're on the FBI Most Wanted List it's best to pick another name for your kid.

BTW, Scarface had one son he named Albert Francis Capone. Much Later Junior started going by Albert Francis, or simply Sonny.

Funny thing too: Sonny's Godfather was Johnny Torrio, a real Mafia Godfather! Lots of interesting stories on the web about Al Junior's upbringing. The kid turned out to be law abiding.

Don't want to veer too much from stocks, but this letter I just found from an affectionate incarcerated Al Capone to his young son is pretty amazing. It recently sold for $62,000.

"Well Son, here is your dear Dad, with a letter for you,
and pray to God, it will find you, in perfect health…Junior
keep up the way you are doing, and don’t let nothing get you
down. When you get the blues, Sonny, put on one of the
records with songs I wrote you about to Ma, to you, which
I sure go to town playing them... [much more]"

Here Scarface brags about his musical talent to his young son and describes his days in "The Yard"...

Bizarre: Capone recommends that his son subscribes to "Fortune Magazine"
