Lawson’s Frenzied Finance paints Addicks as a rogue financier
In the October Everybody's Magazine installment of Thomas W. Lawson's Frenzied Finance, Lawson portrays J Edward O'Sullivan Addicks as a corrupt, heartless schemer who toys with Boston gas interests and Standard Oil plots. He describes Addicks as a "financial guerilla" and a "bad man" whose audacious Boston dinner opened a path to gas property control, signaling the onset of a vast, manipulative campaign against American governance and business ethics.
