The LaMontages brothers -- Rene, Montaigu, William and Morgan—werehigh societybootleggers^[1][2][3] who made $2,000,000 annually through their illegal business during the early years of alcoholProhibition in the United States.

A tip from a disgruntled employee led to their arrest and conviction, although the U.S. AssistantAttorney General, Mabel Willibrand, reported that "every conceivable political and personal appeal, including an appeal by aCabinet officer, was made to squash the case." On February 9, 1923, the federal court fined each brother $2,000 and sentenced three of them to four months in prison and one to two months.^[1][2] However, it was 1929 before their listings in theSocial Register were dropped.
