In a brazen operation that has left authorities reeling, a secret counterfeiting plant was busted in the heart of New York City, exposing a web of deceit that has been duping unsuspecting drinkers for months. On February 22, 1921, Federal operatives descended upon a printing shop at 41 Oliver Street, a stone’s throw from the residence of the esteemed former Governor Alfred B. Smith, who lives at 25 Oliver Street. The raid marked a significant blow to a notorious gang that has been flooding the city with bootleg liquor masquerading as popular brands.
