Credit Mobilier Scandal
A construction company owned by the larger stockholders of the Union
Pacific Railroad. After Union Pacific received the government contract
to build the transcontinental railroad, it "hired" Credit Mobilier to do
the actual construction, charging the federal government nearly twice
the actual cost of the project. When the scheme was discovered, the
company tried to bribe Congress with gifts of stock to stop the
investigation. This precipitated the biggest bribery scandal in U.S.
history, and led to greater public awareness of government corruption.
