Best heists ever?
    #20913683 - 12/01/14 06:13 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Anybody know the bests heists ever pulled off? I like heists and watching documentaries about them and finding out how they got arrested/got away. Prefferably bank heists or non-violent ones(hacking/social engineering etc.).

This one was pretty good and first one that came to mind. I know there's better but this was recent

There were some people back in the 80's and 90's who would routinely hack slot machines with hardware chips and auto hit jackpots. A lot of them were caught doing so. A lot of people weren't either. The people who got caught doing so typically did it repeatedly and in the same cities, making it easy to catch on eventually. The people who didn't typically did it a few times, and likely traveled doing so. I suppose if you were a tech geek at the time and knew how to launder the money correctly you could get away with a few million no problem, more than most bank heists.

I imagine the best heist ever pulled off will never be known because nobody knows that it ever happened. The perfect crime.

"The Securitas depot robbery was the largest cash robbery in British history"

one the the people arrested for it was an MMA fighter named Lee Murray

he is also known for fighting a competitive match against the great Anderson Silva

as well as surviving being stabbed in the heart during a brawl, somehow he got into a car with blood squirting out his chest and convinced the driver to take him to a hospital



heres a 3 part british tv documentary on the heist

idk, but the first thing I think of is the lufthansa heist from Goodfellas

Quote:

The Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 11, 1978. An estimated $5 million in cash ($18.1 million today) and $875,000 in jewelry ($3.2 million today) were stolen, making it at the time the largest cash robbery committed on American soil.
