About this listen

The bizarre true story of the criminals behind the second-largest bank heist in American history.

One night, in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo manages to steal $17 million - literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink.

There's just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first place - and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out. Now one of the most wanted men in America, and with the FBI hot on his heels, Ghantt must figure out how to get his money, get away from a hit man, and get even.

In this outrageously entertaining book, Jeff Diamant, the Charlotte Observer's lead reporter on the case, offers the definitive inside account of this astonishing true story that has captivated American audiences on the news.

Entertaining and amusing

I enjoy heist stories, usually intrigued at how cleverly they are pulled off, followed by how authorities investigate and find the one weak point to crack the case.
This story was unlike any other, as it was amateur and the perpetrators were so blatantly stupid in their spending sprees. More entertaining than intriguing, but worth a listen.
