T Men Crimped Mid-Continent Tax Case Amid Political Ties
Treasury agents believed Mid-Continent Petroleum faced an airtight tax fraud charge for misclassifying wartime plant upgrades as repairs. Deputy Commissioner Bolich halted prosecution after a Washington conference, with legal help from Charley Hamel. The case was reduced to a $3 million settlement, while allegations tied Bolich and Nunan to political connections. Mid-Continent, led by Jacob France, holds extensive oil assets and pipelines across multiple states.
