I can tell you it wasn't legal. Family of honor. Right.

rum running by Joe during Prohibition.

Boot leg liqour.
But I've gotta say that while that wasn't legal, I'd have a really hard time being too critical. I mean, what is civilization without a little good bourbon or single malt scotch in the world?
Of course, then you get to the point where prohibition was repealed and they maintained their ties with organized crime. I've to a bit of a problem with that.

Daddy was a big time rum runner during Prohibition. None of that, still in the back woods crap, imports from Europe, snuck into the country past customs. Good Ole Joe knew how to dole out the sauce, and make a neat tidy profit at the same time. Of course, if Teddy were alive when those boats were making their runs, there would be nothing left by the time they arrived to US shores.

Check back during prohibition. I believe the family was involved in bootlegging. Just like the Busch family, Anheiuser Busch.

It all had to do with various forms of "liquor" such
as rum-running, prohibition, illegal stuff. Ted spends
much of his time using that product and that's why
Mary Jo Copeckny drowned. He was with her (not
his wife), been to a drunken party, drove her home
but drove into the water. He saved himself but not
her and he didn't report it until a day later when he
himself had sobered up.

Yeah--bootlegging and smuggling. And that's when they weren't strong-arming people or dealing with the Mafia. And then we wonder why the kids turned out the way they did. (I guess whoever wrote that Wikipedia article is an admirer.)

They were rumrunners during prohibition.
My grandma made bathtub gin in the back of the candy store.
Honest!
It purely tickled me to see my sweet grey haired make-your-own-clothes granny blush when she told us.
I married a man whose ancestors fought in the Whiskey Rebellion. As moonshiners.
Its an old but in its way honorable protest over too much government intrusion.

Not only was it from illegal whiskey during prohibition..but also they collect a percentage of all the scotch imported into the USA today.
