/ref> He opened his restaurant "Joel's" in 1902, catering to artists, writers, revolutionaries, and other bohemianism, bohemians. In 1910, Rinaldo self-published his theory of evolution, "polygeneric theory", which hypothesized that each species was independently created when its time had come. In 1921, following Prohibition-based raids on his establishment, he published ''Psychoanalysis of the "Reformer": A Further Contribution to the Sexual Theory'' which purported to demonstrate that the passion for reform of their neighbors by those who favored prohibition was a neurosis akin to a passion for "rape" or "eating caviar". Rinaldo retired to Brooklyn in 1926 and died on December 23, 1956.
