Burn After Solving

All in the Family

We've been hunting for the capo of a notorious crime family, and we hoped we could catch them at a family reunion. The capo wasn't there, but we got some dirt on their relatives. If you can figure out who committed which crime, and how many years each of them served, you can extract some useful information to identify the capo.

  • Six blood relatives of the capo attended the family reunion: the capo's uncle, parent, cousin, sibling, child, and niece. Each relative is related to the capo in only one way.
  • The relatives' names are Ash, Billie, Chris, Drew, Emory, and Frankie.
  • Each relative was convicted of a different crime: blackmail, gunrunning, insider trading, money laundering, racketeering, and tax evasion.
  • Each relative served a different length of time for their crime, each one a whole number of years from 1 to 8.
  • The total length of all the relatives' sentences is 25 years.
  • Nobody served a 5-year sentence.
  • Ash served a longer sentence than the capo's father.
  • Frankie served twice as long as the capo's uncle.
  • The capo's cousin served a 7-year sentence.
  • The money launderer's sentence was three times as long as that of the capo's niece.
  • Emory's sentence was two years longer than that of the capo's child.
  • Billie's sentence was longer than the tax evader's sentence, but shorter than the blackmailer's.
  • The racketeer served five years longer than the racketeer's parent.
  • Chris and the insider-trader are siblings.
