they say we only use 10 of our brains but these guys are probably using at most one percent just enough to keep their vital functions going let's get started with number five face tattoo tells Michael Ruiz robbed Home Depot and then told police he had a firearm with him while he took items from the store smart Ruiz and an accomplice got into the Home Depot at

about eight at night they pretended to be shopping for something and at some point during their visit ruiz's accomplice brings out a credit card to pay for what they had in their cart but Ruiz had other ideas he told his accomplice not to bother with paying because he was simply going to rob the store well he actually said that he bust a cap on any employees

who would try and stop him unfortunately for Ruiz an employee heard him trying to be a tough guy Ruiz then removed the weapon from the backpack and put it in his waistband the same employee who overheard Ruiz talking about cat busting employees could see him tuck the weapon into his waistband so he phoned the police then our Tuffy tough Thief Louise took the merchandise that was

in his cart and made his way out of the store at the exit he menaced an employee so he could continue feeling tough his need to feel like Johnny tough guy elevated what was essentially an act of shoplifting to something closer to armed robbery Ruiz was eventually arrested days later and quickly admitted guilt he said that he had gone into the Home Depot to shoplift but

instead of taking a real one he took a BB gun he also denied saying he would shoot anyone and refuse to give up his accomplice with the amount of trouble he's into it makes you wonder what he regrets more acting crazy in a home to Home Depot or all those tattoos right on the face number 4. crypto dealers Sam caragiosis and Steen Macbeth created a cryptocurrency

company that they claimed was going to go head-to-head with other cryptos and make everyone tons of money apparently they plan to do this by using it as a front for their illegal substance business Sam and Steen launched their crypto company ozcoin which presumably stood for Australia coin because these guys are oh so clever and was billed as a rival to bitcoin they purchased Lamborghinis drove other

expensive cars rubbed shoulders with sports stars and even had an interview on the news program 60 Minutes due to their success but all of this was done while an illegal trade was being conducted behind the scenes the operation was simple they purchased illegal things on the dark web paid for them with Bitcoin and shipped it all over Australia their Contraband trade made them rich and the

crypto business was just their way of cleaning the money the police first got a whiff of the drug Syndicate when they found suspicious substances at the Melbourne Airport it took them a couple months to track down the source of the packages to steam Beth at the time the evidence wasn't strong enough for the police to go after Sam since there wasn't clear enough evidence to link

him to the operation lucky break right most Contraband Peddlers with some brain activity would lay low especially when that attention came from the police but Sam was different he decided to do exactly the opposite and began growing his social profile the booming popularity of crypto raised Sam's notoriety bringing him a low level of Fame always a good idea when you're doing something illegal in the interview

Sam claimed that he was self-made and tattooed the words on his knuckles confirming how delusional he was most criminals would think that was enough attention for one man but Sam was incredibly needy Not only was he increasing his own public profile but Sam also attempted to raise the profile of his crypto Company by Rolling Out crypto ATMs all across Australia this idea made him even more

popular than ever Sam became so popular that one time he was invited to sit in the players box with Nick curtios and his brother Christos at the Australian Open as all of this was happening the police were establishing connections and leads that would eventually provide evidence to arrest Sam 18 months after his partner was nabbed Sam was taken into custody by the police a few hours

before he was taken into custody the police confiscated various assets including several bank accounts a BMW bike cache and the cryptocurrency business itself they also found that he owned a lot of properties such as homes in the country in court the police will seek to prove that everything They confiscated including the cryptocurrency business or part of the proceeds from the Contraband Sam and Steen were both

eventually charged Steen faces 16 charges and Sam has been charged with 14 offenses all of the Chargers border on drug trafficking importing and dealing with the proceeds of crime number three you know nothing Tristan pan Tristan Bishop pan used fake companies with Game of Thrones themed names to scam the government out of millions of dollars meant for covet relief Tristan lied that he had companies named

the Night's Watch Khaleesi and night Walkers amongst others and used fake documentation from these companies to receive coveted relief funds in total pan lied about having 14 businesses when in reality he had none our man was having a very good time scamming the government and was winning the game of scams but his ruse wasn't going to last forever for some reason pan thought he was the

only fan of Game of Thrones so the officers approving the loans and the security agents investigating fraud had also seen the show and were well aware of the references so they got suspicious when they saw companies named after characters in the show asking for covid Relief the officials subsequently flagged the companies and conducted further investigations their investigations revealed one thing Kristen Bishop pan had a lot

in common with John snow because he knew nothing they found inconsistencies in the documents submitted and discovered that many of the websites and tax filings he submitted as evidence were phony as baloney pan had requested 6 million in payments for 14 different companies and had received two million dollars for them before his plot was uncovered but we have to give Tristan some credit he did have

some real companies but he inflated the number of employees of those real companies and so he could increase the payments he was supposed to get unfortunately for pan his lack of brain activity meant he couldn't disguise his fraud pattern he was no Walter Frey this led to his arrest and after a year of Court proceedings where he finally pled guilty to wire fraud he's lucky Joffrey

wasn't the one conducting his trial number two fake CEO Eddie Alexander duped investors out of almost 60 million dollars by promising guaranteed Returns on their Investments but Eddie didn't use the invested funds to trade he was just lying to his investors and use their money to fund a lavish lifestyle for himself color us surprised and he claimed that he owned an investment platform called emini FX

emini FX was a Forex Trading platform where Eddie took capital and turned it into profit for investors he claimed that people could invest in this platform and earn about 5 return a week on investments this meant that they could double their money in five months investors could log into m e FX to check the value of their Investments and the site would Julie reported to them

so how good of a Trader was Eddie to be there to promise such high returns when he was selling his platform to investors he claimed to have a robo advisor assistant account to conduct trading he argued that this was his trade secret and was the secret system that allowed him to make so much money on a rolling basis since it was a trade secret he was

able to stop investors from inquiring about it he also said that his team was supplemented by expert traders who wouldn't lose investors money but all of it was all a bunch of BS of course there was no robo advisor assisted account and there was no m e FX the site was fake and the money investors were tracking were Phantom figures generated by a computer so where

did all the money go if Eddie was never investing well technically he was investing the money it was just more in himself about 14 million of it went straight into Eddie's personal bank account he used some of the money to purchase a BMW and used another part to finance car payments he also used the money to throw parties rent an office and hire attorneys but Eddie

wasn't completely irresponsible he did invest some of the money he got from investors but he sustained a six million dollar loss from those Investments Not only was he an airbrained criminal but he was also a bad Trader unfortunately for Eddie he had always been on the FBI's radar initial investigations by the FBI showed that he was making up the numbers he gave his clients they had

videos of a whiteboard in his office that said he should never give less than five percent or more than 9.99 in weekly Roi to his clients the problem with this this was that his Roi was what was reflected on the accounts that his investors had on the emini FX platform so he was obviously making it up as he went Eddie essentially ran a Ponzi scheme and

built it up with even more lies there were many times he misrepresented how much the company had to investors Eddie even once claimed that the platform had 114 million dollars in capital at the time the company had just 35 million dollars in the end Eddie couldn't run from his lies he was arrested and charged with one count of Commodities fraud which carries a maximum sentence of

10 years in prison and one count of wire fraud which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison perhaps spending that long in prison will teach Eddie not to run a Ponzi scheme and lie to investors maybe at least try to cover Your Tracks next time Eddie before we get to the last story if you're enjoying this video be sure to stay right here to

find out how this guy wore Burberry to every single bank robbery number one the kiss Dan Gabriel igabusi flan wanted his lavish lifestyle any way he could after laundering over 45 000 pounds unfortunately for him he ended up flaunting his way to a prison cell then Gabriel was someone you could call a retail money launderer his entire operation was carried out using Facebook he had a

fake Facebook profile where he posted videos of cash and expensive watches and pictures of him smooching money which is really gross the more you think about it he also used his account to advertise compromise bank accounts that could be used as cash mules to move illegal money from one place to another the compromised accounts were Acquired and hacked into through phishing scams and some of them

were bought off the dark net this account then attracted clients who wanted to launder money and Dan Gabriel took these jobs and moved the cash where the client wanted but it was through his Facebook account that he was arrested an undercover police officer posed as a client and arranged several meetings with Dan Gabriel after the officer collected enough evidence he was arrested and upon interrogation he

admitted his guilt during his interrogation the police accused Dan Gabriel of laundering 94 900 pounds as part of a two million and ninety thousand pounds belonging to a Highland salmon farm Dan Gabriel denied this charge vehemently and said that the job was too big for him he argued that he didn't have the bandwidth for moving such a high amount of money the police didn't believe him

anyway and he was eventually charged with the crimes in court where he repeated the same things when asked whether he was lying he replied that his grandfather was an elder in the church and so he's not one to lie which is sort of an odd thing to say after admitting to money laundering in the court Dan Gabriel also admitted that money laundering and crime was his

life and he has never had to work a single day ever it was eventually cleared of the money laundering charges surrounding the salmon farm and two other charges but that didn't mean he was innocent Dan Gabriel eventually admitted to five separate counts of conspiracy to transfer criminal property these crimes led to him laundering over 45 000 pounds aside from that he was also implicated in drug

dealing and was found guilty of possession with intent to supply in the end he was sentenced to jail for five years after putting that money on your lips you might want to get some Abreva to be prepared Dan Gabriel what are some of the most daring robberies people actually try let's get right to it with number five criminal fashion a Manhattan bank robber became notorious when

he carried out his heists dressed in the designer brand Burberry earning himself the nickname Burberry Bandit Cornell Neely wore his designer clothing during at least two of his 14 believed heists that he conducted in April 2012. he stole over 8 500 while looking good nearly put the money he made from The Heist towards more expensive clothes buying more Burberry shirts and a pair of sneakers costing

four hundred dollars the cash was to help support Neely's shopping addiction Neely would enter a bank and hand a note to the teller that demanded cash in bills of 50 and at one hundred dollars it was likely sprayed with cologne since Neely has an image to maintain became nervous after entering a Bank of America in Midtown Manhattan on at least one occasion and left empty-handed later

that day he held up a Chase branch near Columbia University and left with five hundred dollars nearly dressed casually for a crime wave he committed on April 11 2012 where he stole 2 320 from a Midtown Sovereign Bank it took him a month before he struck again this time at an HSBC where he swiped 724 dollars you took 400 from an Atlantic Branch six days later

billing sprees across Manhattan made him notorious in the area after months of not being caught police finally arrested him and charged him with 14 Bank heists in 2014 Neely received a five to ten year prison sentence and was released in December 2019. however it appeared that he hadn't learned his lesson between late June 2019 and July 10 2019 he robbed or attempted to Rob nine more

Manhattan banks on July 3 2019 he tried to hold up a bank on Park Avenue but he left empty-handed shortly after handing the teller a note later that day he went to a bank on 9th Avenue where he left with one thousand dollars there was no stopping the Burberry Bandit except maybe a sale at Nordstrom's newly went on another spree between January 4 and February 29

2020. during that time he attempted to Rob three more Banks stealing another three thousand dollars Federal authorities arrested Neely in January 2021 ending his fantastically dressed reign of terror shortly after Neely was handed a 13-count indictment for his robbery Sprint in his Hearing in Manhattan federal court nearly alleged that his actions resulted from mental illness and drug addiction judge Valerie caproni acknowledged that his crimes weren't

performed out of maliciousness but were the actions of someone that needed help but also more clothes judge Valerie could empathize Neely apologized to those he scared during his heists and sent a letter to caproni before the sentencing arguing that more prison time wouldn't help rehabilitate him he argued that there were fewer good people than bad ones in jail and that he learned better ways to steal

from those around him when he was in prison the argument didn't fly however and nearly pleaded guilty and received a 26-month prison sentence in five years of supervised release the biggest punishment for him was probably the crappy prison outfits number four Inside Man Two security firm employees helped stage an elaborate robbery close to London's Heathrow Airport where they stole millions of pounds from one of the

company's cash and trans Advance Mohamed Sadiq and ranjeev Singh worked for Loomis when they executed the hijacking Sadiq drove the van and Singh accompanied him as a security guard they were transporting 8.42 million dollars on behalf of credit Swiss when they stopped go to the restroom they later they claim that Singh was still in the bathroom when the van drove away Sadiq turned up hours later

in a ditch with his hands tied behind his back and his feet tied together claiming that all the money was gone however investigators were immediately suspicious of their story in their opinion Singh's Behavior was far too casual for a man who was just hijacked and left in a ditch we would have just accepted it oh he's calm maybe he really likes being in ditches that's probably

why law enforcement stopped calling us for consults on tough case well looks like everyone at this Mansion has an airtight Alibi the guy must have just tripped 47 times on a knife when the power went out what a strange accident having spent 20 minutes in the bathroom why is this called out as a long time he went outside for a cigarette before letting co-workers in another

van at the rest stop know that his truck was gone the delay in reporting the event meant that the security firm's control center couldn't immobilize the vehicle to stop the raid by the time they knew that the van had disappeared someone had moved 20 eight bags of cash from One Security van to a second vehicle parked on a quiet secluded Street when Sadiq first spoke to

the police he told them that an unknown man had contacted him at his home in the typical fashion of strangers suddenly appearing at your house to coerce you into committing crimes the man threatened to set sadiq's house on fire if he didn't participate in a plan to steal from one of loomis's trucks the officer was probably rolling his eyes during the story like oh God this

again another burning down your house threat but investigators uncovered several pieces of evidence that showed what the pair were actually doing that day security camera footage caught seeing cigarette break where he waited at least 15 minutes before letting anyone know that the van was missing according to sadiq's cell phone data he was also in contact with his co-conspirators the day of the robbery and was directly

involved in it further saying said he didn't have a phone on him that day despite having one in his jacket pocket that he used to speak to Sadiq while in the restroom he threw away the own SIM card when he arrived at the police station which authorities then discovered and used to identify other gang members after a two-week trial the court convicted seeing and Sadiq of

conspiracy to steal their ringleader was a man named rafakti Hussein who ran the operation and helped launder the money his wife also participated in the fake Heist both admitted to their involvement in the operation which included money laundering conspiracy to money launder and conspiracy to commit burglary another member Gary kharad admitted to conspiracy to commit burglary in relation to the heist the robbery was one of

the biggest fake heists in the UK and the money was never recovered number three menos por pavor Florida man Sandy hawkis entered his local Wells Fargo and handed the teller a note demanding eleven hundred dollars when the teller asked Hawkins for his debit card he responded that it was a robbery and he was armed he watched the bank teller count out two thousand dollars which he

said was too much and specified in his note that he hope to be caught once he had the correct amount he left the Wells Fargo Boca Raton branch the manager at one of his favorite sports bars identified Hawkins and helped lead Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies to his home he confessed to the crime upon their arrival Hawkins had lost everything his mother and siblings had passed

away but the most devastating blow came when his wife died at the time of the robbery he only had 38 dollars left and his car had been recently repossessed Hawkins was represented in court by public defender Carrie howitt who asked for leniency as Hawkins had no criminal history and no living relatives those that knew him claimed that he was likely driven to the Edge by grief

having found himself in a situation where he had barely enough money to live off and had lost everyone in his support system rather than jail time how it fought for him to stay in a sober living facility in Delray Beach which would be covered by grant money from the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation the foundation helps reduce jail populations in Palm Beach County those

eligible for this type of benefit are people in need of mental health care homeless people and people living in poverty Howard's goal was to put Hawkins in a position where he could get back on his feet she also hoped to set him up with a grief counselor Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen agreed to release him to the facility a condition of the release was that he would

be put on a monitor hopefully Hawkins is doing a little better number two the phone plan inmate Arthur Coffield Jr who was locked up in a Georgia Maximum Security Prison allegedly stole 11 million dollars from a billionaire movie Mogul while behind bars despite being locked inside the Georgia Department of Corrections special management unit Arthur Lee Cofield Jr took millions of dollars from at least one Billionaire's

account by pretending to be them while Arthur was on the phone with their Bank Cofield was serving a 14-year sentence for armed robbery when he allegedly impersonated movie Mogul Sydney Kimmel Sydney Kimmel is the CEO and chairman of the Los angeles-based Entertainment Company Sydney Kimmel entertainment the company is responsible for misleadingly titled Blockbusters like crazy Rich Asians spoiler they were not actually crazy everyone survives Moneyball

no giant balls of money made out of money running over people and hell or high water the water wasn't high and there were many other choices Sydney Kimmel entertainment was financially backed over 40 feature films Kimball is worth around one and a half billion dollars and began his career when he founded Jones New York an apparel company that he sold for 2.2 billion dollars in recent

years Kimmel's focused both on filmmaking and his philanthropic Endeavors the Johns Hopkins University Cancer Center was named after him as well as the medical school at Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Cofield spoke to customer service Representatives at Charles Schwab where he impersonated Kimmel he arranged 11 million dollars to buy 6106 American Eagle one ounce gold coins from a company in Idaho from there Coffield allegedly used some

coins to buy a 4.4 million dollar house and had a private plane transport the rest to Atlanta investigators were unsure as to why Cofield targeted Kimmel although it seemed that there were other billionaires that interested coalfield as well authorities believe Cofield is responsible for other thefts including potentially accessing an account belonging to Nicole wertime who was married to Florida billionaire Herbert warheim allegedly he turned earned

2.25 million dollars into gold coins as he did with Kimmel's money Coffield maintained his presence in the outside world using Contraband cell phones guards found him with cell phones at least 12 times while serving at five different prisons you can't get the cell phones away from the kids these days am I right on one occasion officers conducting a Shakedown found a cell phone concealed on cofield's

body he had cell phone junk if you will authorities believe Coffield was paying off correctional officers to turn a blind eye to his possession and usage of the banned cell phones but couldn't prove it however it was clear that someone was helping him get the phones the Georgia Department of Corrections often deals with prisoners obtaining cell phones inmates use creative methods to get phones including using

drones to drop them into the art cell phones have many purposes for inmates ranging from communicating with family and loved ones in the fiscal year of 2022 over 5600 cell phones were confiscated from inmates Cofield gained access to Kimball's Charles Schwab account when he called the bank pretending to be the billionaire he used the app text now which made it appear that he was calling from

a Los Angeles number rather than a Georgia one Cofield opened a new checking account in Kimball's name when the representative asked him for a utility bill and form of ID Cofield sent over a photo of Kimmel's driver's license and a copy of his water bill how he got access to that information we don't know but how can you not be impressed Kimball's license once the account

was opened Coffield allegedly contacted money Metals exchange a company in Idaho that deals with precious metals he didn't organize the purchase of the gold coins to wire money to money Metals exchange Cofield gave Schwab a reimbursement request and a forged letter of authorization from Kimmel he organized a private plane to bring the coins to Atlanta and arrange the security detail for the transaction authorities allege that

Eldridge met the plane when it touched down at Atlanta's signature airport where he collected the coins Alia was likely responsible for finding the house Cofield purchased at the time the house situated on Randall Mill wasn't even for sale due to being under construction Alaya posed as cofield's wife and convinced the owner to sell her the home for 4.4 million dollars to Cofield under the name Archie

Lee they paid the majority of the roughly 500 000 down payment in cash during closing Eldridge took the money in duffel bags to a branch of Cadence Bank located in Alpharetta everyone that dealt with Archie seemed to have a strange feeling about him he'd only meet people on the phone and go weeks without communicating then reappear and give an excuse for not being available like claiming

he was out of the country Coffield told the original Randall Mill homeowner that he was a talent scout for rap artists trying to make it in the music industry supposedly his role required him to have large amounts of cash on hand he claimed that he made his money by investing in Bitcoin Sydney Kimmel didn't suffer financially from the ordeal thank heavens we don't know what we

would do if Kimmel suffered any sort of financial loss so he was ultimately not the victim Kimmel actually slept peacefully unaware he had some chump change stolen like the precious angel he is Charles Schwab reimbursed Kimmel for the total amount stolen as is their policy in cases of unauthorized activity once the suspected fraudulent activity was on their radar they launched an official investigation and ensured their

client's account was protected they also notified the authorities federal agents uncovered cofield's criminal activities in 2020 and charged him with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering they believed he likely orchestrated many similar deaths from billionaires accounts but the theory hadn't been proven as of October 2022. Eldridge and Elia Bennett also faced charges for their rules in the scheme the house became subject to forfeiture
