Bootlegger on Capitol Hill Kept Liquor Flowing for Decade
George Cassiday known as the Man in the Green Hat ran a decade long bootlegging operation from 1920 to 1933 storing liquor in the House and Senate office buildings and supplying lawmakers. He wrote six Washington Post pieces in October 1930 detailing his work and faced a 90 day jail term in 1925 after a briefcase arrest. Prohibition ended in 1933, leaving Cassiday out of business and he died in 1967 at 74.

The event highlighted international partnerships with Vanderbilt, Colorado School of Mines, Temple, Exeter and Sapienza, and founder Saadi Saihood noted the diploma’s value despite local job scarcity.
