On this week's remastered episode, we head back to the Prohibition Era! We kick things off with one of the first well known bootleggers after the Volstead Act was passed, George Remus. Through his profession as a pharmacist, he would get legal booze, have it hijacked by his men, and then sell it on the illegal market for millions. It all went downhill after he got busted and sent to prison where his then wife stole all his money and that's where the story gets even more crazy!  Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.

“Don't ask me nothin'! You hear me? Don't ask! And don't bring anybody in here for me to identify. I won't identify them even if I know they did it!” This is the story of the nation's up-and-coming criminal underground.  By 1920, with few exceptions, producing, buying, and selling alcohol is outlawed, but that doesn't stop enterprising Americans. Many feel perfectly comfortable flouting the law and continuing to drink at their leisure, albeit with the added thrill that comes with evading halfhearted lawmen. Some cops are even in on it! But even as law enforcement steps up their game with undercover agent extraordinaire, Izzy Einstein, criminals get organized and start doing serious business—serious as in murderous. Home-brewers like Maude Vogan can be found in rural America, but in the big cities, Prohibition provides a marketplace for organized crime to flourish. There is money to be had, if one can ignore that the likelihood of getting killed just shot up dramatically. Notorious gangsters George Remus, Legs Diamond, and Lucky Luciano run this underworld, double-crossing each other, planning takeovers, and making millions off of booze-loving Americans. But can law and order triumph over these mafiosos?

In this episode, featuring myself and Australian lawyer Tony Taouk, we discuss the life and times of George Remus who was famously dubbed, "The King of the Bootleggers" in the 1920's. George Remus, born in 1878, was a German-born American lawyer who was probably most famously well-known as a bootlegger during the early days of Prohibition, and who later became even more infamous for the murder his wife Imogene, for which he was acquitted. In popular culture, many believed that George Remus served as the inspiration for The Great Gatsby, and he was even famously portrayed on the HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. In this episode, we discuss: Remus birth in Landsberg, Germany in the 1870's and his arrival in the United States in the 1880's The Remus family's beginnings in Chicago, Illinois Remus' early experience working at his uncle's pharmacy, as well as his attendance of the Chicago College of Pharmacy, where he became a certified pharmacist George Remus' collegiate attendance of the Illinois College of Law in which he gained admittance to the Illinois Bar, specializing as a defense attorney Remus' involvement in the 1914 murder trial of William Cheny Ellis, and the first successful use of the "transitory insanity" defense in the history of the United States Remus' beginnings as a bootlegger after he was able to exploit a loophole in the Volstead Act, allowing him to grow his bootlegging business on a technicality Remus' move from Chicago, Illinois to Cincinnati, Ohio and the growth of his bootlegging empire in the 1920's, run from his sprawling property on the west side of Cincinnati, dubbed "Death Valley" Remus' divorce from his first wife, and marriage to socialite Imogene Holmes (later Remus), as well as the extravagant mansion, "The Marble Palace" The eventual arrest of Remus for violations of the Volstead Act and his prison sentence The collapse of Remus' marriage to Imogene after a cheating scandal with a Bureau of Investigation agent, Franklin Dodge The murder of his wife Imogene in October of 1927, the subsequent trial in which Remus again pleaded "temporary insanity," and his acquittal after just 19 minutes of jury deliberations The remainder of Remus' life and his ultimate legacy in the annals of the underworld The truth of Remus' peculiar tendency to talk about himself in the third-person Remus' death in 1952 of natural causes in Covington, Kentucky

EPISODE 1927: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Abbot Kahler, author of WHERE YOU END, about writing unnerving literature for unnerving timesAbbott Kahler (formerly Karen Abbott) is the author of four New York Times bestselling works of narrative nonfiction. A search for an ancestor who went missing in 1905 led her to write Sin in the Second City, which tells the true story of two sisters who ran the world's most famous brothel and the nationwide battle to shut them down. Her interest in Gypsy Rose Lee, the subject of American Rose, stems from stories her grandmother shared about the ecdysiast's performances in the 1930s and 40s. Liar Temptress Soldier Spy was inspired by a six-year stint in Atlanta, where the ghosts of the Civil War still seem omnipresent. The HBO show Boardwalk Empire introduced her to bootlegger George Remus, the subject of The Ghosts of Eden Park and a character much more fascinating than Al Capone. Then Came the Devil, her next nonfiction book, is by far the most outrageous story she's ever encountered. Her debut novel, Where You End, is inspired by a true story of identical twins and amnesia, and will be out next January. USA Today once named her “a pioneer of sizzle history.” Abbott's books have featured as Indie Next picks, Amazon's best books of the year, Library Journal's best books of the year, and Smithsonian Magazine's best history books of the year. She has also been a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime, the Goodreads book award for history, and the Ohioana Book Awards, the second oldest state literary prize in the country. She has written for newyorker.com, New York Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, and other publications, and has appeared on the History Channel, CBS Sunday Morning, AMC's "Making of the Mob,” the Discovery Channel, and other media outlets. Her books have been optioned for television and film, and her podcast about George Remus, REMUS: THE MAD BOOTLEG KING, is forthcoming from iHeartRadio. bAbbott is a native of Philadelphia, where she spent six years as a journalist, covering crime, advocating for abused women, and hanging out with mafia bosses and baseball wives. She lives in New York City and in Greenport, New York, where she's convinced her little bungalow is haunted. She appreciates a good poker hand, an old bottle of wine, and the never-ending hunt for new stories to tell. Read the strange story behind her name change here. You can follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or sign up for her (monthly or so) Wicked History newsletter.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.

Tasting Notes: Made with an MGP recipe that's not readily available on the bulk market, this single barrel is about as "high rye" as they come, with a mashbill of 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted barley. Bottled at 113.2 proof, the nose is straightforward spice with a touch of orchard fruit and citrus. The palate is an explosion of tropical fruit and spice. This is like an OBSK from Four Roses on steroids with even tertiary tropical flavors emerging like pineapple, and fresh coconut shavings. Diamond hard rye spice at first, then a blast of sweet spice to finish. Warming throughout. Really fun!

Hi, What Happened To Sandy Beal fans!

It sent Remus spiraling into madness — with deadly results.

Joined today by TWO New York Times best-selling authors, Erik Larson and Abbott Kahler. Abbott and Erik share their story on how they met 20 years ago, what shocked them to learn about each other, and why they have stayed friends for such a long period of time. Abbott talks about why she changed her name at 40, if she is worried that her name change will affect her book sales, and why changing her first name to Abbott might actually help her non-fiction writing. We chat about Abboot working as a beat reporter in Philly, doing ride alongs, and the cattiness that are Philly sport fans. Abbott chats about her new upcoming podcast, the process with doing it and when it's dropping. We talk about her hit book "The Ghosts of Eden Park", why and when she became fascinated with George Remus, what he meant to prohibition, if he's the greatest bootlegger of all time, and the murder and the trial of the century. Erik and Abbott share about putting their boots to the ground and doing old fashion detective work when they research their books, why court transcripts are the greatest treasure to writing a non-fiction book, & why they travel to the locations they write about. We discuss the pressure of following up your New York Times best-selling books and how that relates to your next book, if they read reviews and how they interact with their fans. Abbott let's us know about her newest project "Then Came The Devil" about sex, murder, and utopia on the Galapagos Islands. Erik talks about what's going on with Hulu, Keanu Reeves, and if the "Devil in the White City" is coming to TV any time soon.  A few hot toddy's, a couple of Manhattans and we hear about weird first jobs, people getting fired, and the cleaning up of some disgusting things.

George Remus went from celebrated defense attorney at the onset of Prohibition to one of the most notorious bootleggers in the country.  After he eventually landed in jail, his wife Imogene ran off with an FBI agent and liquidated his multimillion dollar fortune.  Remus subsequently shot and killed Imogene in a public rage and defended himself in court, managing to get himself considered temporarily insane.  If you want drama, this story has it, so have a seat and take a listen.

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.

It's 1920 and George Remus, a Chicago attorney, stands before the bench in a Federal courtroom. He watches in horror as the Judge finds his client, a local booze bootlegger, guilty of violating the recently passed Volstead Act. The man's punishment? A $10,000 fine, the equivalent of roughly over $160,000 in today's money. Remus is horrified by the obscene punishment but notices that his client could care less. The bootlegger casually removes a wad of cash from his pocket so thick it can barely fold and tosses it to Remus to drop it off for him as he exits. Staring down at the money, Remus has a plan: To become the biggest bootlegger of illegal booze the world has ever seen. This is a tale of betrayal, duplicity, and cold-hearted murder.    Special Thanks To Our Sponsors:    BLINKIST Right now Blinkist has a special offer just for our audience.

The 23rd episode of the Bourbon & Banter podcast – The Horsemen Ride - is now available for your listening and drinking pleasure. With the Midwest weather, Pops and Bob have braved wind, sleet, snow, ice, hail, and bad bourbon to bring you this month's installment of the most honest podcast in bourbon. Our community thread spotlight reflects on a new product that brings dung, yes ACTUAL DUNG, to gin. If you want to join the Bourbon & Banter community, where we cut all the bullshit from standard social media groups like crotch shots, be sure to check out our social media platforms for more information. The whiskey news reflects on a historic burn to AB-InBev's new Bud Light Nex, likely from their archrivals over at Miller Coors. The moral here folks: always register your web domain. Chuck Cowdery shares his thoughts on rebranding MGP's flagship bourbon George Remus (yes, we know they changed the name of the distillery…we don't care), and politicians are at it again, this time with Kentucky's single barrel programs. Our new release spotlight starts with one of the best offerings we've had recently, this one from Green River Distilling. Pops doesn't recommend a bottle…he recommends several bottles. The Craft Shoot comes in blazing with a release that inspires some of the most feverish commentary we've heard from this segment. You'll have to listen to find out if it's good or bad. We close Episode #23 with the most popular segment in all of bourbon podcasting: BOURBON BULLSHIT featuring peanut butter whiskey and a disturbing development with the newest spirits awards competition.  Have comments or questions? Drop us a line at podcast@bourbonbanter.com.  Cheers! 

History consists of heroes and villains (and, I suppose everything in between)... but it's usually the villains who are the most interesting: Their flaws, their quirks, the voids in their hearts that force them to do the unthinkable. These are the characters that fascinate us, that pull us in, that compel us to watch and don't let us look away. And these are the characters that Scoundrel: History's Forgotten Villains is all about. Scoundrel, is a new bi-weekly anthology podcast from Kast Media and the award winning creators of Myths & Legends, that tells the stories of the rapscallions through time who were just a little more adept at hiding their evil from historians than others. By joining them on their treacherous journeys, we not only learn about what makes them tick, but more importantly, the times that created them. Sidney Gottlieb, George Remus, Thomas Blood, James McClintock. They've all done horrible things...on varying scales. If there's anything we can salvage from their misdeeds and incalculable human suffering, it's the opportunity to use them to elucidate the times they've lived… so that we can better understand ourselves.   Scoundrel: History's Forgotten Villains - premiers Wednesday, February 23 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Chicago lawyer George Remus moved to Cincinnati in 1920, he was already famous for pioneering the temporary insanity defense. But he had another career in mind when he came to Ohio - building a criminal empire. Later, some would say F. Scott Fitzgerald modeled his legendary character Jay Gatsby after the multimillionaire who was so brilliant, he got away with shooting his wife in front of dozens of witnesses. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Audionautix- The Great UnknownThe Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

George Remus is the developer of Gray Dawn from 2018, available on PC. His studio is called Darkania Works where he is currently developing Last Days Of Lazarus. Gray Dawn and Last Days Of Lazarus are first-person psychological thriller/horror games. George was called out by GrimTalin who is helping with development and publishing Last Days Of Lazarus. I very much enjoyed Gray Dawn and I've completed it three times. I have played the demo of Last Days of Lazarus and I enjoyed that as well. In this episode we will discuss graphical tricks to improve performance, using religion in your game's story, obtaining the perfect music for your game, and much more.

In Episode 9, Pettengill discusses the "bonanza" created by Prohibition. He notes the great flaw of the Temperance movement - the assumption that everyone would comply with the law and there would be no demand for alcohol if it was illegal. As it turns out, demand remained steady and criminals were more than happy to provide the "product." Pettengill offers an overview of individuals like Johnny Torrio, the Purple Gang, George Remus, Waxey Gordon, and Arnold Rothstein. By essentially creating a black market, Pettengill notes how these criminals became the emperors of vast bootlegging fiefdoms.

The guys are joined by industry heavyweight Harrison Pious to discuss the George Remus brand, compare 4 iterations of Repeal Reserve Bourbon, talk through the merits of barrel proof single barrels and debate the origin of the temporary insanity plea.

And of course, we're joined by none other than MGP's Master Blender, David Whitmer.   Here is a list of what we drank.

George Remus was a pretty famous criminal defense in Chicago. He soon began defending bootleggers. Seeing their stacks of cash they were paid their fines with, Remus saw opportunity. Soon he would corner the market and become arguably the biggest bootlegger during American prohibition. But his story is much crazier than just that. Tune in folks and listen to a story straight from the Roaring Twenties.
