Name of Crime Bootlegging Murder Blackmail Speakeasies Bribery Link to Prohibition There was still a high demand for alcohol so there was a lot of money for those who could bring it in illegally. The gangs that controlled the illegal alcohol trade would often fight and kill one another Gang leaders would try to blackmail police officers and other officials into allowing their illegal trade. It was dangerous to keep alcohol at home so speakeasies were created to have secret places for people to drink Gangs and Bootleggers often bribed cops into allowing their illegal activity.
