Did Rockstar secretly hide Al Capone in GTA III and Vice City?

Fans once believed Al Capone was a hidden mythical character across GTA III and Vice City due to multiple deliberate references: a liquor store named 'Big Al's Liquor' in GTA III (Big Al was one of Capone's nicknames), Diaz's mansion on Starfish Island being architecturally identical to Capone's real house, and Vice City's heavy inspiration from both Scarface and The Untouchables — two films about Capone's rise and fall directed by the same filmmaker. However, the myth was ultimately debunked because Al Capone never physically appears as an actual character in either game.
