George "Bugs" Moran was a notorious American gangster during Prohibition, best known for controlling Chicago's bootlegging and gambling operations. Active mainly in the 1920s and 1930s, he was a rival of Al Capone. Moran earned his nickname "Bugs" due to his aggressive and combative nature. He became infamous for violence and criminal activity but avoided the scale of mass violence associated with Capone. His criminal career epitomizes the era's organized crime, marked by rivalries, illegal alcohol trade, and efforts to maintain control overChicago’s underground economy.
