The Cooley Account
What started as research for a movie resulted in these recordings. This is the life story of Bob Cooley, a man who accomplished the impossible by decapitating Al Capone's syndicate.
In the 1970’s Bob Cooley was a young cop who decided to became a lawyer, and ultimately found himself being an insider for the Chicago syndicate. The mob controlled the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois.

From politicians on the take to a corrupt court system and cold case murders, we cover it all. There are also never before revealed details about cult icon Count Dante and mob fixture Pat Marcy.

good day. I’m a Chicago guy, I know Bobs story all to well and I know the people he was involved with. My heart goes out to this guy more than you’ll ever know, I just can’t believe how he’s been treated since this all happened years ago and to this day the way people talk about him makes me SICK! His life is incredible and why there isn’t a movie about his life shocks me absolutely shocks me. They made a movie a shitty movie about the 2 NY cops Ippolito & his partner how rotten they were. Well Bobs story is completely opposite of that. I hope somehow someway a message can be sent to him that he has at least one person in Chicago that really respects him and just feels awful for what he went thru. I hope he at least knows how thankful I am for what he did & is doing by sharing his story. All of us here can sleep better because of what Bob did and how it started the entire process. If the people I know heard me talk like this I’d be up a creek but I’ll take that chance because I believe Bob needs to know he is appreciated & respected!! God bless Bob I pray for you often!
