Capone both helped and hurt people around him. He helped people for selfish reasons so that they would look past his criminal activities. For example, he opened soup kitchens and provided people with clothing and goods at his own expense in the wake of the Great Depression. He truly wanted people to like him as long as they were on his good side. He also had paid associates who were accused and/or tried for crimes that he requested they do. Many members of his immediate family became involved in organized crime just as he had due to his influence.
