Bootlegging in Memphis during Prohibition was significantly influenced by figures such as A. W. "Abe" Geller, who played a crucial role in the illicit alcohol trade. Geller, along with other organized crime figures, capitalized on the demand for illegal liquor, leading to a thriving underground economy.
