It has been rumored the Grandfather was connected to the Mafia and bootlegging but that has been well researched and thought to be misunderstood. He was a liquor importer and had business with the Mafia but Kennedy played it very smart to his great advantage. He made brilliant investments and was politically connected working the lines of legal/illegal but never crossing that line. He played it smart but his middle ground could have contributed somehow to getting sideways with the underworld. Flying close to the sun is always dicey.
Word is that old man Kennedy made the most from an investment in a faltering movie studio where he took stock rather than pay. Sold it for many millions.
