Answer:
The leader of the infamous Tammany Hall political machine in New York City who was accused and convicted of stealing millions of dollars from the New York state treasury was William Tweed.
Explanation:
William Tweed was an American politician. He led the Democratic party machine in New York City in the 19th century, named Tammany Hall, and was eventually convicted of corruption and misappropriation of government funds.
William Tweed began his political career in the New York City Administration and served as a delegate in the House of Representatives from 1853 to 1855. After this he held, among other things, a seat in the Senate of the state of New York as well as other positions in the state and city administration of New York. During this period he gained a lot of power for himself and his close associates. The clique around Tweed became known as the Tweed Ring and it operated from the New York City Democratic Party headquarters, Tammany Hall.
Tweed and his henchmen committed about $ 30 million to $ 200 million dollars in fraud. Only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 these practices came to an end. Tweed was charged and in 1873 he was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison. After serving for one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. Civil proceedings followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was finally arrested in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.
