Bootlegger. Lawyer. Killer.
During Prohibition, George Remus — a lawyer, pharmacist, and self-made millionaire — discovered a loophole in the Volstead Act that made him one of America’s richest bootleggers.
With his bourbon fortune, he built a 35-room Cincinnati mansion where the parties were legendary, the liquor flowed freely, and the secrets ran deep. But behind the glamour and jazz-age extravagance lay betrayal, obsession, and murder.
In this episode of Crime Estate, Heather, Elena, and Melanie uncover how one man used his law degree, ambition, and greed to build an empire on bourbon — and how it all came crashing down.
