In 1980s Miami, nothing was out of reach to those with money and the right connections.

So when the Soviet Union fell and drug cartels wanted to buy helicopters and submarines, they knew who to call. This is the story of how the Russian mob and Colombian cartels tried to do the impossible and we are joined this week by the fantastic Jeena Bloom!Music provided by Paper Yellow Music.

ICST EP 19 - Gerald Blanchard - the skydiving, star stealing crime savant Aug 02, 2020

Show notes

The only thing scarier than someone that spends months planning a jewel heist is somebody that can plan it in a day. Gerald Blanchard is one of those kinds of thieves. Not only did he pull of a movie quality heist on a whim, he led police down an insane rabbit hole of international bank heists and a shadowy crime syndicate that spanned continents. Pete is joined again in this episode by Patrick Loller, a NYC based comic and army veteran. EDITOR'S NOTE - For some reason I kept saying Gerald's name as Gerard for pretty much the entire episode. I have no idea why I did this - it was written correctly in my notes. Maybe it's my TBI, maybe it's because I've been binging Umbrella Academy, I don't know. That said, this episode was too fun to redo, so I'm leaving it as is, but I wanted to clarify that I had made this error. I'll be more careful in the future.If you'd like to support this podcast's patreon, please sign up atwww.patreon.com/icanstealthatMusic provided by Paper Yellow Music.

EP 17 - Cyber Art Heist Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

The hardest part of almost every heist is selling what you've stolen, but today we're going to discuss a crime that's half art heist, half cyber crime, and all brilliant, because the thief just skipped the whole "stealing the painting" bit and went straight to the money, leaving no trace and a messy legal battle behind. Pete's joined today by his friend and great comic out of Columbus Georgia, James Etchison. Music provided by Paper Yellow Music.
