Francis “Frankie” Calabrese was born in Brooklyn, New York City. His father was a small time hijacker for a mob crew running the Brooklyn docks, Frankie’s father wanted a better life for his son than he had growing up so he took out loans from the local Capo to start a small time drug ring, so he took the $250,000 loan to buy a shipment of heroin from smugglers that were based in Sicily. But once the drugs were seized by the Narcotics officers Frankie’s father had no way to repay the massive debt, he knew he was dead meat so he packed up his stuff and was about to leave town with his son but when he left his apartment building he was killed by a shotgun blast to the head.
After he witnessed his father die he swore revenge, Frankie started committing small time crimes to get a feel for “the life”. He earned enough to buy a small pistol but at close range can be fatal, on a cold rainy night Frankie stood outside the social club of the Brooklyn Capo and waited patiently in the rain. Finally the Capo walked outside of his club obviously drunk so without waiting a second and without any remorse walked up to the Capo and shot him in the head twice, before his crew even got outside Frankie was already on his way to the train station on his way to Chicago.
Word already spread throughout the American Mafia that Frankie Calabrese showed no fear and was a capable killer, The Outfit in Chicago wanted him to join them but he decided he wanted to build an empire of his own. Years went by and Frankie took a small time crew of thugs to one of the strongest forces in the state of Illinois, the Calabrese Family had interests in illegal gambling, extortion, drug trafficking, arms running and many more crimes.
But as a mob king he invested his vast illicit profits in legitimate businesses to explain how he can afford a giant mansion in the Chicago suburbs, afford to send his son Frankie Calabrese Jr to the best schools in Illinois so one day he can inherit his Empire and basically own the best of everything.
But Frankie’s story doesn’t end there, his Family still controls a vast criminal and legitimate empire making hundreds of millions every year. He started from a petty thug from Brooklyn to a multi millionaire, he had proven the American Dream can happen. He once said to his son, no one gives you power. Real power is something you take.
