	Jake Guzik
		Starting under Capone, Guzik was the trusted treasurer and financial wizard of the mob, and in the years after Capone's fall, he was considered the real brains of the organization, along with Paul "the Waiter" Ricca and to a slightly lesser degree Tony Accardo.
		Such friendship was not forgotten, and Jake Guzik to his dying day a quarter century after Capone's removal from the scene, continued to be one of the most honored chiefs of the Chicago Outfit, and some say virtually its boss.
		Jake also served as the mob's principal bagman in payoffs to police and politicos, hence the origin of the nickname Greasy Thumb.

		Guzik, along with his brother and sister-in-law, would entice farm girls to come to the big city for a promising "career." When the girls arrived, the Guziks raped them, got them hooked on narcotics, then sold them to the whoremasters in Chicago's infamous Levee district, which was also run by Jews.
		In 1920 Torrio and Guzik wanted to expand the gang's operations from gambling and prostitution to include bootlegging and importing illegal liquor, a field that they felt would make them millions and catapult them not only to a new-found wealth, but also immense power.
		It is interesting to note the fact that Capone and Guzik knew the main cogs of the North Side bunch would be at the warehouse that morning.

		At that time, Jake Guzik was working as a waiter and legend has it that he acquired his name 'greasy thumbs' because he kept slipping his thumbs into the soup.
		The Guzik's never acted like thugs, they were smarter then most of the lowlifes around them, and both were said to be "easy-going", mild-mannered men.
