Moses Louis Annenberg was born in Kalwischken, Province of Prussia (German Empire) in 1877 to a Orthodox Jewish family.

[8][page needed] Judge James Herbert Wilkerson, the same judge who previously sentenced Al Capone, sentenced Annenberg to three years in prison and a fine of $8.0 million ($174 million today) "the largest single tax fraud penalty in history" at the time.

Annenberg was released from Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary prison on June 3, 1942,[14] and died at the Mayo Clinic on July 20, 1942, after having surgery for a brain tumor.
