The Case of Burton K. Wheeler

Burton K. Wheeler, an absolutely legendary figure in sort of Western Democratic politics, loses his seat in the Democratic primary in 1946. Father Charles Coglin was revealed to have a secret overseas bank account stuffed with what would be about $14 million in today's money. George Sylvester Verick, the Nazi agent, got out of jail after the war and went on to advise the first neo-Nazi party in the United States. William Dudley-Pelly eventually faced additional charges of securities fraud because he was running a fake stock scheme involving his weird silver legion empire.
