Financial Corporation Crossed Evil Person Poser (Posted on 2023-06-14)

Consider the name of a large financial corporation whose name, disregarding space(s), consist of precisely ten letters.
Obviate the fourth and fifth letters and, move the sixth and seventh letters to the front.
As a result of these operations, we now have the name of a person associated with financial misdeeds.

Determine the name of the company and the person.

Al Capone

He was imprisoned at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA which is now a museum. If you take a tour there, which I have done, you can see the cell he was in. It's an interesting tour.
