Gatsby 'didn't live in a house at all, but in a boat that looked like a house and was moved secretly up and down the Long Island shore

In Chapter 6 of The Great Gatsby, the persistent rumor about Gatsby is that he is a bootlegger who made his fortune through illegal means such as selling alcohol during Prohibition. This rumor is fueled by the extravagant parties that Gatsby throws and the mysterious source of his wealth. However, it is later revealed that Gatsby made his fortune through criminal activities such as smuggling and other shady business dealings.
