Al Capone was just the first of many names on a list, silently and covertly transferred to the German Mob. The list? Names of major players in America's criminal underworld. Or at least the biggest names, which Bruno remembers hearing about in his past life.
Anyone who threatened to disrupt the consolidation of illicit power within the United States was silently removed. No "Saint Valentine's Day Massacre" or other such gruesome headlines would hit the news again for quite some time.
But even if these murders didn't reach the news, or were printed for public consumption. They still happened, and the fate of the American criminal networks changed forever. After returning to Tyrol, Bruno washed his hands of the event.
He never spoke of it again, nor continued to hold direct ties to the German Mob across the Atlantic. Any further business that needed to be attended to between the two parties was done through a proxy.
