Episode 104 | Historical Events

In this History episode we focus on the 1983 kidnapping of Freddy Heineken — one of the wealthiest men in the Netherlands — by five broke friends who spent two years planning it, held him in a soundproofed warehouse cell for 21 days, collected the largest individual ransom in history at the time, and then spent the rest of their lives paying for it in ways they hadn't planned.

They got the money. It wasn't worth it.
