According to Arya, this quote "comes from a letter George Washington wrote to Joseph Reed (then the President of the Continental Congress) on December 12, 1778, venting his fury over war profiteers and speculators during the bleak winter at Valley Forge."
George Washington wrote:
"I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman—No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build “his greatness upon his Country’s ruin.”"
