    and we would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that pesky boat seller.

    “Alexander Petrov” and “Stefan Nordstrom” are, respectively, the most Russian and Swedish names I’ve ever heard.

    I thought that lawyer who tried to blatantly extort the police was an absolute idiot, but when he got acquitted, I figured he must be a legal genius.

    200,000 Krona is about 25,000 USD in 2005. Imagine going through the trouble of setting up a heist involving 30+ people, stealing art worth over $30million, sitting on it for 5 years while it all goes tits up because someone used their actual phone number, then finally finding a buyer, then selling it for less than Toyota.
  • I love how the "Ad Man" canonically now has an entire lore behind his character

    Internet Historian: Hey do you know what time it is? Me: Ad time? Internet Historian: Its time for a montage Me: A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

    My favorite character in this heist is the Swedish justice system. Jails you can leave on weekends and overturning the sentence of 3 of the culprits in the end.
  • @lukapejkovic918
    Jesus Christ just the fact they were even able to execute initial plan is mindblowing
  • This man deserves to retrieve the password of his main channel.

    What if we kissed under the Nord VPN servers? O_O
  • They could of become legends for robbing a museum with no traces, true legendary masterminds, if they used a fucking burner phone.

  • The art thieves wouldn’t have been caught...if they used Nord VPN

    Something similar happened recently. A bank was clearing all it's valuables and hauling it to an offshore bank. Every employee, and guard left the bank but kept the security systems up and the front of the bank was locked down tighter than the Seirre Madre of absolute pain. Someone that following night broke into the bank quite easily: for you see while they locked down the main entrance, there was a maintenance tunnel connecting the garage to the rest of the bank. Person broke in via the now unguarded maintenance tunnel and into the bank armed to the teeth... he... was pissed... Why was he pissed? He thought there would be valuables there. So he did something radicicolous and sundance reject worthy. He shot out every possible window, bashed open every ventilation cover with a baseball bat, smashed the keypads on the vaults, broke every window, shot out every TV, cut cable lines, broke the hinges off every door, bashed executives worthless yet pretty paintings off their walls: anything he could access he destroyed, and to end it? He shot all the cameras watching him until that point. The next day the bank agents came back to see the place in tatters, the bank had to get $5.7M spent to fix or replace everything. Guess where this all took place? Somewhere very special and known for insane hijinks like this... florida... florida man gets arrested for mass destruction of bank property

    These videos feel like historian is playing with some action figures
  • @Kitsco45
    This is exactly one of those “I dunno, I didn’t think I get this far”
  • @Laerei
    I have to say, the criminals bringing a decoy painting to the sale was a 200 IQ 4D chess move but unfortunately for them, the police was playing 5D chess with their 300 IQ brains.
