This case is going to take us back a bit...to the 1800s. 

George Leslie was an architect that quickly turned into a bank robber in 1869. Over a nine year span, George orchestrated bank robberies unlike anyone had ever seen. On the weekends he would associate with the elite families, politicians, and business owners of New York City,  and when he wasn't with them, he was planning his next heist. 

Over the span of his career, it was estimated that he stole what would be 200 million dollars today. But, as good as he was at robbing banks...there were still issues that he hadn't figured out how to deal with.

You can listen to this episode to learn more about George, the robberies, and his suspicious death.
