Stealing Millions as Teenage Art Thieves | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers

  • Chas Allen was one of four 19-year-old college students who carried out one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history.
    Their target: The Transylvania University Private Collections Museum -- home to a collection of some of the most valuable rare books and paintings in the world, including Charles Darwin’s On The Origin of Species. If successful, the theft would make each of the students a fortune.
    As part of the plan (inspired by heist movies) each of the four students took on separate responsibilities:  One created aliases and backstories to contact the library and auction houses. Another created false documents and disguises to make the group look like old men.
    With Allen as a get-away driver, the students managed to get away with a number of items... But a series of stupid mistakes would lead to their downfall.
    In a series of candid interviews, Fakes, Frauds & Scammers relives some of the most audacious scams and fraudulent stunts of our time from the mouths of the perpetrators themselves. Whether it’s money, fame or simply an addiction to lying, we find out what motivated these tricksters and whether the highs, lows and ramifications were worth it in the end.

So to suggest that something happens “all the time”, when only 11 or so states would have a legal right to try them as adults is ludicrous and disingenuous.

      Yea...I mean. It's an example of kids being extremely detached from reality and stupid. Honestly the dude talking seems pretty smart. He made a huge mistake and paid for it with 7 years of his life. I have spent about 115 days of my life either in jail or in a facility in which I could not leave if I wanted to. A meager amount compared to that. I have PTSD of sorts related to that experience. So don't think 7 years is a cake walk. He knew the moment it started it was a bad idea. He just was young and didn't want to let his friends down.

    One of the consequences of watching too many movies. It's impossible to steal something that people collect, it's called provenance. Once a well known work of art is stolen, the community spreads the word, and it has no value, it's labeled as stolen and the provenance is gone. The only people that might have bought it would be a Russian oligarch or the supreme leader of North Korea. Anybody reading this.....don't get any bright ideas.

      The books in special collections are locked away, you have to make an appointment to view them and you're watched like a hawk. Also, this was not a public library, it was a university library.
