George Remus Bootlegger Hidden Vault

Lost Treasure OH • Hamilton County County
Description
Cincinnati legend that Prohibition kingpin George Remus concealed as much as seventy million dollars in a hidden vault before his 1920s empire collapsed — the "King of the Bootleggers" never revealed the spot.
Historical Notes
George Remus built a whiskey and pharmacy empire from Cincinnati during Prohibition, amassing tens of millions before federal prosecution. Folklore says Remus cached a fortune in a secret vault on his Price Hill estate or nearby Cincinnati grounds. His 1927 murder trial and later life in Covington kept the vault legend alive among Hamilton County treasure guides.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
