>>Joe Kennedy Had some Insider Information and he pulled out of Wall Street before the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

Actually, Joe shorted the market and made his fortune out of the misery of others. Other, responsible people, like the Mellons and Whitneys, used and lost fortunes trying to save the market and the economy. Joe also acted illegally.

>>He took the $$$$$$$ and invested it in Scotch which he stockpiled until Prohibition was over, then he supplied the Speakeasies and Liquor Brokers..THAT IS NOT BOOTLEGING..

Joe was well-known for his bootlegging operations and they have been well-documented. The Kennedy fortune was based on organized crime.
