Summary
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.

Interesting.. not gripping
Great true story. Completed DIY while listening..We all love a crime story involving everyday people and stacks of cash from the highs, to the stupid mistakes and the inevitable dismal culmination .
Negatives: narrator sounded bored, kept quoting timings as ‘six o’clock pm’…grrrr IT’s just ‘six pm’ !!!! The whole epilogue had really been covered already during the story, felt like filling.

boring
Sorely lacks tension. Annoying narrator has a voice that got my back up. Just relies on the fact that it was ALOT OF MONEY . We are constantly reminded of how much things cost (hint: ALOT)
