Thief.
Just look at these guys:
They’re not even real thieves. They just pretend to be thieves. Their swagger, big collars, gah, it’s seeping smooth testosterone.
But what’s sexier than pretend thieves?
REAL diamond thieves!
The story ran in the latest WIRED:
Handful of specialized and seasoned thieves were hired to take down a vault two floor below ground, protected by locks with six-figure combination possibilities; heat, motion, light sensors, two-foot thick steel walls; you know, the routine.
An estimated 100million Euro is gone. It’s not accounted for. Diamonds, millions in a dozen currencies, over a 100 safety deposit boxes worth of goods from the most secure safe in the world.
Bangin’.
One of the guys that was caught, Leonardo Notarbartolo, who has been in prison for six years finally broke the story to writer Joshua Davis. Dubbing his characters with names like “King of Keys” and “The Monster”, he clung to anonymity because, you guessed it, there’s potential mafia connections. His blood lines run directly to the Italian Mafia’s helm.
Awesome.
