The whiskey fraud, often referred to as the "whiskey ring," was a scandal in the 1870s involving government officials, distillers, and distributors who conspired to defraud the U.S. Treasury by evading whiskey taxes. Participants falsified records and underreported production to avoid paying taxes on whiskey sales, leading to significant losses in federal revenue. The scandal ultimately implicated several high-ranking officials in President Ulysses S. Grant's administration, highlighting corruption and leading to reforms in tax collection and enforcement. The affair culminated in several prosecutions, but many of the key figures escaped severe punishment.
