Moonshining Becomes National Racket
Moonshining, once a regional hobby, grew into a national illicit trade with about 55 million gallons produced in 1958 and roughly a billion dollars in revenue. LBI estimates 40,000 to 60,000 moonshiners and 150,000 others involved in distribution, concentrated mainly in 11 Southern states and active across most states. Moonshine accounted for a large share of non-taxed liquor and was described as a major organized crime form by LBI president Thomas J. Donovan.
