    Prohibition-era excise-tax settlement

    Seagram paid the United States government approximately US$1.5 million to settle delinquent liquor excise taxes connected with liquor exported illegally to the United States during Prohibition. The government had initially sought approximately US$60 million. Samuel Bronfman's Prohibition-era dealings with bootleggers have also been examined by historians, although he was not convicted of criminal activity in connection with them.
