0:00 bro give him a ████ Medal of Honor yeah let's give him a reward he doesn't get the money he lost right purple heart give him a Ramen for the rest of his time yeah bro Philip was commissary was the top Ramen yeah [Music] you're gonna think this story is awesome but that's not the correct feeling okay be be mad at this guy as much as you want to DAP them up don't do it now I just want to dab him up even though there's a guy angrily in Georgia uh he's CR he's in jail right okay somehow manages to pull an 11 million dollar Heist from prison that's pretty cool using nothing more than a smuggled phone 11 million dollars a heist you said smuggled through who did he Heist from he heisted from um hoisted from billionaire Sydney Kimmel okay who was

0:52 responsible for funding a lot of different projects such as crazy Rich Asians oh yeah he's from jail yeah he's a Hollywood Tycoon he got into his uh bank account and uh I guess he stole his identity at some point prior to going to jail and I I don't know how he even did this but um he managed to convince the Charles Schwab Bank that he was that guy with his paid phone calls from the ████ jail dude stolen driver's license and a and a uh a utility bill that was like taken so he managed to do that and moved 11 million out of his bank account used those to and he cleaned them up by buying gold coins with all that money takes the gold coins and then uh

1:42 convert some of those into other cash and then buys uh buys a house by the commissary oh yeah he buys it out so he just has 11 million in credit for the jail hey yo why your boy get Top Ramen every day because that's living dude you buy cigarettes you can train with people you're ████ living dude that's so crazy that would be like it's so good and then it's just bad again he buys one house just to be the top G in cell block a he buy he buys one house and he has 10 mil in the commissary dude that isn't that crazy that you did that 11 million bro he shouldn't get all of it but he should get a little bit for the credit well that was pretty that was impressive so here's here's a good question for you so what they couldn't figure out is after he um bought that house with that stolen money uh

2:32 authorities trying to figure out what to do with it because um he bought it and what happens then does they do they give the house back to the guy or and the money goes back like I would think they freeze they would put some type of judgment on that house there's been a couple situations where like people owe for like fraud back taxes or something like that the US government will like put a piece of paperwork on that on that property saying this is like oh so it's almost like freezing the entire house but that's like when it's clear that the the house now belongs to the government correct but in this situation it's like that money came from this other billionaire so it's like hey billionaire dude you kind of have like a new house now that was just paid in gold right it's like you still want it yeah yeah or do you want the commissary

3:24 the house is under that the guy that was in jail right that did the Ice no what's that technically probably well no if it's identity theft Oh no just to pull the money so you probably put the name did he put that name in his actual or the house in his actual name or in the see if that is and they can't be like hey you got a new house because it's not in there then maybe it's just insurance that the billionaire gets back or some ████ you know what I mean yeah I don't know because in in the art in both articles I read they were trying to work out what exactly happens to the home I was in the US government would put some type of like lean against the house stating like this is there's a there's a case on this does anything happen to you if you were the um if you were the agent in that sale and it went to a guy fraudulently I think if you knew about

4:14 it yeah definitely for sure like if I knew this guy was like he pulled this money from something that was illegal then what is it called like coercion or oh yeah probably something like that yeah do they but if you honestly have no idea and you they can't prove that you knew it then oh then you got to keep the commission right of course Double Jeopardy gold coins baby it's already spent so so if that's the expert money bought a house from you that turns out all that money stolen so they take it all back but the commission you have you don't have to give it back it's just is this your money yeah if you didn't know about I would think yeah I don't know yeah I think you get to keep it for sure yeah but if you knew then they would probably I I think it'd probably be worse it would probably prosecute you yeah that's gonna be way

5:05 worse then you'd be an accessory because you're part of the operation exactly so he did have two people on the outside that were a part of the operation that were moving things for him and it was like uh so in that case there's three defendants so it's him and then two other people that were doing that and uh that's kind of Genius wait wouldn't that be a little fishy because he's got to sign paperwork to buy that house to be like yeah I'm in jail right now I just send the paperwork over I'd notarize it like that that'd be a little bit did he buy it under his name or was it a fake identity and they're trying to see if it might have been under the names of the other two accomplices they don't know for sure it doesn't say for sure who it was but most likely it was under one of them if he can't even be there is that even possible like let's say you had a fake identity fake ID and you bought a house under that like if the if it's not under your real name then can they take that from you well

5:57 there's like a form when you're in escrow where you have to fill out it's like a statement of information so like they want to identify who you are so you got your name birthplace birthday Social Security number so you're gonna have to come up with yeah like all fake yeah exactly so a man's Jason Bourne though you know what I mean so there's gonna be a lot of stuff that you're gonna have to come up with so it's super crazy because it looks so easy that um how he was able to get that identity because he used a driver's license a utility bill and then used text now to call the bank and make it look like he was calling from LA but doesn't that seem like uh to move 11 million from the bank that's all they really needed he said he's a billionaire right yeah that's still a lot of ████ money that's like that's like the chase

6:47 uh agent on the other side looking at all the zeros and be like you only want to move this many zeros all right unfortunately it's like moving eight bucks from my account yeah yeah it's like moving a couple hundred bucks got it yeah it's a it's a super crazy thing he had two phones in his cell by the time they like caught on to all this happening through the butt through the butt through the butt that's not oh he's already in I think like in this jail alone they said that that in in uh one year They confiscated like oh I've seen him like on like rails and stuff it's like all the people in prison like yeah you ever seen prison dude yeah prison Tick Tock is my favorite kind of tick tock there's so many phones in jail yeah bro they're they're chilling they're going live in prison you know like how

7:37 they got white Wi-Fi yeah like what the ████ dude dude someone smuggled a router foreign ER they look like that I don't know if that's true but they do they're like little towers they're mini Towers oh and then it like telescopes like a lightsaber it doesn't pull up it's just about like this this tall expandable Wi-Fi router just to make sure you can be compact when you travel with your butt yeah dude dude yeah so this dude is like pretty badass because he's uh what's it look like I need to see this man come on what do you go to jail for he went in for an attempted robbery or something but but then from jail he got in trouble for ordering hits on people from jail this reminds me of that movie

8:27 with Gerard Butler remember did he kill somebody with a T-bone steak PS I Love You No this is Law Abiding Citizen yeah that ████ is good it's called the bouncing on track oh Traveler's Wife it's exactly like that movie good movie yeah he was he did uh order a hit on his ex or something from jail using one of his phones because once they were investigating they were investigating his phones finally thanks to guards they found like all of his past like operations that he was running and they were like dude you you try to kill someone dude imagine the respect that the people working for him must have had to in order for them to risk just doing this for him while he's in jail they probably respected the ████ out of him or something right the dude is good he gets results look at that he's a good guy he probably has Charisma or something to uh yes good feng shui people to listen to him in jail a good puncture he's got 11 million he's

9:17 probably like here's one yeah I got this plan it's gonna work no no but they gotta believe him for them to even I bet sometimes you don't need to get certain people to believe you to do stuff like that they'll just do it if you if you're good enough a Salesman of being like yo I gotta get and you'll get paid that's how they described him so that he was a good salesman they described him as a guy that could con you out of millions he calmed the ████ Charles Schwab you know and they oh by the way Charles Schwab they are also fully reimbursed Kim the full amount that's tight see there's because there's that insurance right it's pretty much their fault yes well they didn't want to lose the billion that they had with them right yeah yeah yeah so they were saying um the house was left vacant after the uh the whole thing blew up and then they said it's not been maintained and it's rapidly deteriorating so they're saying the judge might approve a motion where a

10:09 real estate agent will be authorized to Market and sell the house but the valuation has gone down since he bought it because he hasn't been living in it would you sell a house that went through all that type of stuff yeah I would tell it we had one in Arcadia that happened and the guy owed the government like I don't know if it was tax evasion or or whatnot but like it was like us super I wasn't Supreme Court but it was like one of the core systems like you saw the paperwork this guy owes x amount of money so like was it a big case because we know about that one big one uh this was like a while back ago I don't know how I forgot how much is but um yeah government gets their money first after the sale and then whatever's left over if he doesn't owe anything else then I guess they gotta keep it damn all right so since Nick wants to see this is the dude that's the dude and

10:59 then that's a Kimmel over here bro give him a ████ Medal of Honor yeah let's give him a reward he doesn't get the money he lost her purple heart give him a Ramen for the rest of his time yeah bro Philip was commissary was the top Ramen yeah that's a that's a really like your concept of stealing all that money and just depositing it in your commissary that's so funny what about the rest of your symptoms you know how they stay in prison for oh before I think it's being extended but then uh I don't know how what the initial uh thing was but um looks like a nice dude I know a guy that looks just like him and he's actually it's like I know 50. it's one of those things where like if this guy's uh cleverness was just like pointed in a different direction I think he can still pivot bro I think I have faith I think he this guy could turn his life around Nick's inspired we didn't say how are you gonna get baptized

11:49 it doesn't it doesn't say eventually what what was the trigger to like find out all this stuff was going on May maybe um because it might have been the house sale I think oh yeah the house sale or like a large amount of money being moved it's like hey let's investigate this see if he ████ laid low yeah do my plan can you lay any lower than being in jail yeah [Music]
