Bugs Moran
George "Bugs" Moran (August 21, 1893–February 25, 1957) was a Chicago Prohibition-era gangster. Born to Irish and Polish immigrants in Minnesota in 1893, Moran moved to the north side of Chicago in his teenage years. Growing up, he ran with several gangs and was imprisoned three times before turning 21. He earned the nickname "Bugs" after assaulting a tailor who he felt was gouging him because of his ethnicity, leaving the tailor with two broken arms and two broken legs. The name "Bugs" came from those who thought he was nuts or "buggy."
