Description

A con artist AND a mobster? Why yes! Infamous Swindler? Yes! Person with a much more famous sibling? Yep! John Factor was all of those things and so much more!

Born into a hardworking family that featured a Rabbi and internationally famous Cosmetics mogul (Max Factor) John "Jake The Barber" Factor was determined to make a name for himself...just not the same way the rest of his family took.

With close ties to people like JFK, Jimmy Hoffa, Arnold "The Brain" Rothstein, and even Al Capone himself, Jake The Barber may not have been a physically intimidating man, but if you messed with his money, chances are, you wouldn't last long in the dangerous world of the Chicago Mob.
