About this episode
In the first half of this episode, we heard all about Sam’s upbringing in the north, joining the IRA, and his brutal treatment in the H Blocks. But that’s not the end of Sam’s story, after being released from prison he headed off to the US where he undertook one of the biggest thefts in US history - Robbing $7.4 million!
Sam told us about his decision to steal the money after seeing it laying all around the Brinks and how they had to unload millions from their van before making their escape after it was too weighed down with cash to start. He also told us about getting a priest involved, how they got caught and how they avoided life in prison.
