Heists, Hustles, and Homicide

"Britain’s Billion-Dollar Heist: The Brink’s-Mat Robbery & It's Golden Curse"


Listen Later

In this episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, your host Steve takes you back to 1983 Heathrow, where a “quick” cash grab turned into one of the largest gold heists in history. But this wasn’t just a robbery—it was the start of a decades-long saga involving smelting operations, offshore laundering, and a suspiciously high body count.

We’ll break down:

  • How six armed men waltzed into a high-security vault with help from the inside
  • Why the stolen gold was nearly impossible to trace
  • How the loot fueled London’s property boom—and a string of mysterious murders
  • The so-called “Brink’s-Mat curse” that followed everyone who touched the gold
  • What reforms followed—and how much of the treasure may still be hiding in plain sight

And don’t miss the teaser for next week’s episode, where we meet Anthony Gignac—the fake Saudi prince who conned billionaires with nothing but charm, designer robes, and an Instagram filter.

If you like criminal masterminds, buried treasure, and stories where truth is stranger than fiction—this one’s for you.
