    Holy shit it’s literally called the “Business Plot”. Horrifying that nobody was prosecuted. I imagine proof in those days may have been letters and phone calls, but proof of either could have been hard to collect or just avoided altogether by the perpetrators.

      You should definitely look into it. A lot of the proof is Smedley Butler, an extremely interesting man.

        I tweeted Oliver Stone about 10 years ago, suggesting he should make a movie about Butler. No response.
