John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, was involved in controversial business practices that drew criticism and legal scrutiny, though he was not directly engaged in criminal activity in the traditional sense. His company was known for monopolistic practices, including predatory pricing and secret railroad rebates, which stifled competition. These tactics led to the U.S. government’s antitrust lawsuit against Standard Oil in 1906, culminating in the company's breakup in 1911. While Rockefeller's actions were legal at the time, they raised ethical questions about corporate power and competition.
