Just by chance, the movie The Great Train Robbery was on last night. Equivalent of €46M (£2M at the time)... I have respect for him for being able to pull that off...

In fairness to him, Doc. He pulled it off, ran to Brazil/ Argentina and exploited a loophole which meant he couldn't be extradited. (Had a child with citizenship of that country) But then surrendered in 2001. Does anyone know if he did jail time after 2001?
