George Moran
? to 1957.
"Bugs"

Moran became leader of Chicago's North Side "Irish" gang after Dion O'Bannion's 1924 death.

Moran allied himself with Chicago's Sicilian Mafia against the Neapolitan newcomer Al Capone. Capone destroyed much of Moran's mob (and nearly Moran himself) in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929.

Moran dropped out of the Chicago underworld. He died in prison of natural causes in 1957.
