I remember reading that the NY Mafia didn't much care fore Al Capone because he drew too much attention to himself.

I think that is part of the reason that they shipped him off to Chicago.

I don't think he went on the "I'm being persecuted tour".

He moved from NYC to Chicago when he was a young hood.

Capone was shipped off to MIAMI after he started to get too noticeable/.
