From Filthy Rich . . .

These were heady times for the young publisher. The scotch flowed like wine and the wine flowed like it was being shot through a high-pressure firehose. With the trade becoming increasingly violent, Horace divested himself of his bootlegging interests and put his money in the high-riding Stock Market. He became a millionaire almost overnight and was not the least bit shy about flaunting his wealth and power. He openly bragged about his massive (and still illegal) 1000-bottle scotch collection and would fill entire swimming pools with champagne during his outrageously decadent parties.

Then everything went to hell.
