Yeah it's a real wild episode. We cover a crazy Russian dude named Kamo, that pulled off a old timey cash in transit heist that helped fiance Stalin to overthrow the Russian government. It's a real gruesome one, so beware. 

We had some slight technical difficulties this week and the episode we recorded was lost due to a faulty SD card. But we didn't want to just post nothing, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to re-post one of our favorite heists we've cover, the story of a gentlemen thief by the name of Vincenzo Pipino.

WE WILL BE BACK WITH A BRAND NEW EPISODE NEXT WEEK.
