On the evening of January Seventeenth 1950 7 men appeared in the Brinks depot. They were all wearing trench coats chauffeur hats, and Captain Marvel Halloween mask’s. The Brinks depot belonged to the Brink’s armored truck company which still exists today. It was where Brinks kept all of their money that they were given before it would be transferred to where it really needed to go. The Brinks depot was located at 165 Prince street in Boston Massachusetts. The building is now a parking lot. It shocked all of the guards when they saw the ten men in the building, because it was a very secured building. It had to be considering it was housing other people’s money which they had been transferring in armored trucks. The men were seen coming out of …show more content…
They joined their getaway driver, and drove away with around two to three million dollars. Although they didn’t know it, they had just committed what would be called “The crime of the century.” Of course the police started investigating the crime. Soon after the robbery some of the men were coming, and confessing to the police about the crime, and selling other people out while doing it. This kept on reciprocating until all men associated with the crime were behind bars. The Brinks robbery was the biggest robbery in the history of america at the time, and because of the amount of money involved the men got greedy, and it all fell apart. If you put what happened after the crime aside you’ll notice that this truly was a very elaborate, and complicated crime. There were two, or three doors that the thieves had to get through to get to the money. This took a lot of time, and elaborate planning which is what ultimately led to the huge success of the crime. The Brinks robbery was so complex that even with the planning that had gone into it, there were failed, and aborted attempts before …show more content…
The idea was all started by Joseph Mcginnis. He was a key figure in the Boston underworld, and ran a very successful bar. The second main figure in the robbery was Anthony Pino. Pino was a good friend of Mcginnis, and was another prominent figure in the Boston underworld. Although big figures the two weren’t known to participate in big bank heists like this, especially without some typical strong men for the job. That’s where Joseph O’Keefe, and Stanley Gusciora come into play. Known to fill this role in big heists these two were probably the most notable in the whole brinks crew. O’Keefe was known to have a temper, and be willing to do anything for a good amount of money, and Gusciora was always close behind his friend. These two were the ones who had access to all of the tools needed for the heist. Vincent Costa was Pino’s brother in law who happened to also have a long history in the crime world. Pino of course took this opportunity for another member of the team. Henry Baker had just been released from jail, and was on parole at the time of committing the crime. He only came up as a suspect after he was giving a lot of money trying to get O’Keefe, and Gusciora out of jail. Adolf Maffie was another unlucky member of the team, who ended up being caught when donating money to trying to get Gusciora, and O’Keefe out of
In 1976, the entire manifestation was completely planned by a man named James Burke or better known by his alias "Jimmy the Gent". A bookmaker, Martin Krugman, told Burke's associate, Henry Hill, about the money that had been stolen. At the Kennedy Airport the stolen millions was stored in a vault. An employee at the airport, Louis Werner, owed close to $20,000 for his gambling problem and also to, Pete Gruenwald, a former coworker. Earlier, Pete Gruenwald and Louis Werner stole $22,000, without a problem from a previous employer, Lufthansa. The man who helped with all the planning was, Louis Werner. Werner went as far as telling the 'get away cars' where to park, so they could execute the plan perfectly. To get the money to its destination, they used a huge van to transport it, but it interfered with a "crash" car to make sure there was a police chase. Burke has specifically chosen the perfect amount of people to be the "inside gunman" and had one represent the crime family as the outside shooter. Burke ordered a black male, Parne...
The Pinkerton Detective Agency was called in to help catch the James/ Younger Gang. During a nighttime raid on the family home a firebomb was tossed into the log cabin. The explosion tore off the hand of Jesse's mother, and killed his half- brother. One of their most famous rides was in September of 1876. Jesses gang tried to take the Northfield, Minn. Bank. The town people fired at them and all except for Frank and Jesse were killed, wounded or captured.
In 1933 Nelson, and his new friends, Tommy Carrol and Eddie Green robbed banks in Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Most of the blame for these went to Dillanger and his gang. A year later Dillanger joined gangs with Nelson.
One thing that made this heist more famous was the fact that Jimmy Burke started to kill off the member of the heist is a span of six months. He did this because he thought they would bring suspension by being careless, he thought that if they were caught they may speak, he also didn’t want to share any of the six million dollars with anyone else.
On Friday April 24th J.P. Walker, Preacher Lee, Crip Reyer and L.C. Davis got into Reyer’s Oldsmobile and they took off on a mission to kill Mark Charles Parker. (3 other cars of men followed) They went to the courthouse/jail in Poplarville and they could not get in. So they went to Jewel Alford’s House (The jail keeper) to get the keys to the Jail. Alford went with the four men to the courthouse. When he got there he went in and down the hall to Sheriff Moody’s office and got the keys to the jail. He opened the door to the jail and Lee, Reyer, Davis, Walker followed Alford into the jail. Alford then opened Parkers cell and Lee and Davis pulled Parker out of the jail and courthouse to the Reyer's Oldsmobile. Alford then left and the men got into the car.
The police retreated, waited for reinforcements and then stormed the house, handing out severe beatings to the gangsters they found inside. They never discovered which of the men fired the shot from the window and Madden, still a minor, was released the next day on a $500 bond.
These crimes were committed to acquire more money the illegal way. Jewish culture was and is not known for such organized crimes. In fact, most of the descendants were embarrassed and ashamed to talk about such acts that their ancestors committed. As Arons digs deeper, it was in comparison to opening “Pandora’s Box” metaphorically speaking. All crimes that are committed were very taboo within the Jewish culture. Jewish criminals at one point had their own gang who would shake down blocks for protection and have “territories”.
Two individual employees wanted to complete their assignment for their company. But, did their strategy go about accuracy? Karel Svoboda works for Rogue Bank. Svoboda is a credit officer who needed Alena Robles, independent accountant, assists to evaluate and approved his employer’s extensions of credit to clients. In order to complete the task, Svoboda needed to access the nonpublic information about the clients’ personal information related to the company such as their profits and performances. Instead of appropriately following the company policy, Svoboda and Robles created a plan to utilize this data to exchange securities. According to their plan, Robles exchanged the securities of more than twenty unique organizations and benefitted by
In fact, when they went into their home, they did not find anything that had a lot of value. What they expected to find was a big vault of cash, which led them to find nothing. Since this had led them to nothing they wished to find they were enraged and decided to kill the whole family. All family members had been killed, but the dad had gotten his throat slit open and a shot to the head as for the rest of the family they got shot to death. The only thing they left with was about fifty dollars and a few items. Therefore, this led both Dick and Perry to death row, and both of them eventually got
The media has come to dominate the lives of many of today’s youths. In The Great Imagination Heist, Reynolds Price expresses extreme dismay at the media’s ever-tightening grasp over the impressionable minds of adolescents. He sincerely feels that the effects of prolonged exposure to television, film, video games, and the Internet are detrimental to the development of a youth’s imagination and ability to think freely, without outside influence. The word “heist” indicates the intention to rob or steal. Price laments what he perceives to be the robbing of original, personal thought. He longs for the days when people read books freely and television was little more than a negligible aspect of our daily lives.
They were gangsters that caused problems for the community. These gangsters would go up to kids and try and jump them into their gang. For them, the more members they had, the more “territory they had.” One problem that major cities around the world have is gangs. Most of these gangs are made up of juvenile delinquents looking for trouble.
Reynolds Price’s “The Great Imagination Heist” discusses how television has corrupted the imaginations of today’s American youth. The idea behind the word “heist” suits the title and story well; however, I disagree with his idea that television and video games have stolen youthful imaginations.

	Almost a year later, on July 25 of 1878, the PO8 struck again. A stage from Quincy to Oroville slowed to make a difficult turn a long the Feather River, the masked man stepped out of the bushes and asked that the box be thrown down. His soils included $379 in coins, a silver watch, and a diamond ring. Once again, when the posse reached the scene, all they found was a poem:
He had a revolver in his hand, but he did not point it at them.
