Mobster
William “Action” Jackson started working for the Outfit in the 1950s. He worked as a loan “juice” collector for Sam DeStefano. He was accused of working as an informant for the FBI, and was tortured for days by his fellow mobsters, eventually dying from his horrific wounds. They beat him, burned him with a blowtorch, used a cattle prod on his genitals, shot him, stabbed him and put a meat hook up his anus and hung him completely off the ground. The Chicago Outfit later learned that he was NOT an FBI informant.
