S2 Ep16: George Remus: Lawyer, Bootlegger, Killer Pt. 1

Crimes of the Centuries - Podcast autorstwa Amber Hunt - Poniedziałki

Defense lawyer George Remus started to notice a new kind of client in 1919 and 1920: the bootlegger. He also noticed that those bootleggers always paid handsomely in cash. Remus, who had a background in pharmaceuticals, decided he wanted in, and within a year, he owned 35% of America's alcohol. The federal government moved quickly to shut down this so-called King of the Bootleggers.
