Oh, we've got a fun one for you this week. One of my favorite types of tales,

a story of meticulous planning, a team coming together. But with suspicions rising,

nerves fraying, and the flop sweat of facing failure, it's a heist.

From my friend Chris Wimmer and his podcast Infamous America,

comes a story of the largest hotel robbery in American history,

netting the thieves and estimated $28 million worth of stolen jewelry and cash.

And that was in 1972. It'd be seven times that today.

But pulling off the perfect heist is never easy. And even if you do escape the scene,

you got to deal with fencing the jewels, splitting the cash,

keeping an eye on your collaborators, and paying off your mobster overlords.

All while making sure the cops stay far, far behind you.

So I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did.

And for more of Chris and his gripping retelling of the wildest and sometimes

darkest chapters of American history, be sure to search for and follow Infamous America.
