By cleverly forging checks and identity documents, the protagonist of the play, who was an ordinary background deceived countless bank tellers, concealed them from the police, and lived a period of time like the "peak of life" (the movie is adapted from a real story).
Recently, FBI announced a crime that happened in prison. The outrageous operation made netizens exclaim: The movie really originated from life!
A former robber Arthur Lee Cofield Jr., a 31-year-old former robber, actually commanded remotely in prison through a smuggled mobile phone, pretending to be a billionaire, and successfully defrauded a bank of $11 million in huge property!
Not only did he buy the villa with the stolen money, but the remaining money was hidden so that the FBI had not found it yet.
And the prison where Arthur was in when he committed the crime was also the most solid and strict Georgia Department of Corrections (SMU), which is known as the most solid and strictest in Georgia.
How did this magic happen?
According to some information released by the FBI, Arthur committed the case with two accomplices outside the prison, a black father and daughter.
He pretended to be a Hollywood movie tycoon at that time, Sidney Kimmel, who is worth $1.5 billion and is 94 years old this year, successfully convinced the bank to believe that he is the rich man himself and created a credit account in the bank as a rich man.
The specific operation is that he first used a smuggling mobile phone to call the bank. He used a mobile phone software to make the phone number belonging to the California where he is located, where the rich man lives for many years.
He claimed to be the billionaire Sidney Kimmel, and when he asked to open an account, the bank quickly believed that he was the rich man himself and asked Arthur to provide an identification document and a utility bill.
Here, Arthur relied on the help of his accomplices outside the prison and used some means to successfully obtain a copy of the rich man's driver's license page and a home utility bill.
After receiving the document, the bank opened an account for the "millionaire" with confidence and included him as a super distinguished guest who enjoys VVIP services in the bank.
Not long after, the "millionaire" made consumption in the bank. He told the bank on the phone that he was recently engaged in a deal with a precious metal dealer in Adaho, asking the bank to help him complete an interstate payment in his credit account, totaling $11 million.
Because Arthur provided the bank with a forged authorization signed by the rich man. So the bank immediately helped Arthur wire the huge sum of money.
Arthur bought it with so much money, which was a kind of American gold coins made of pure gold. At that time, more than 6,000 were purchased.
After buying the gold coins, Arthur began to find ways to transfer and hide the "cash". And he is also very rich in his way of acting.
He rented a private plane with a pilot and hired a security team from a private security company. Everyone arrived in Atlanta on a special plane with gold coins. There, Arthur's accomplices appeared and personally received the gold coins.
Then, the young daughter of the accomplice, Eliayah Bennett, 27, was attracted to a villa under construction in a remote woodland in Atlanta. The villa is modernly designed and has 6 bedrooms.
The owner of the villa had no intention of selling the villa, but when Arthur called him and asked him that he would pay $4.4 million for the villa, he agreed immediately.
If this villa is placed in the open market, it will be worth up to US$3.5 million. Now a mysterious buyer who is generous has come, and the seller is of course happy. In particular, the rich buyer even took out US$720,000 in cash on the spot as an advance payment!
When you meet such a generous master, the seller is not only grateful, but also instinctively curious and a little suspicious about the identity of this mysterious seller.
Arthur on the other end of the phone told him a fake name, saying that the father and daughter who came to buy it on the spot were his wife and father-in-law.Regarding how to take out so much cash at once, Arthur lied to him that he was a professional scout who needed work, so he needed to carry a lot of cash with him. At the same time, he also invested in Bitcoin, so he has accumulated huge wealth.
A few days later, Arthur and his accomplices settled the remaining money in the house, which was also the "wild" style before leaving. The accomplices carried a few sacks of cash to the bank to complete the transaction with the seller.
Later, during the continued construction of the house, Arthur would talk to the architect himself on the phone a few weeks to communicate about the construction of the house. As for sometimes he was unable to respond to the architect's call request immediately, Arthur used the excuse that he often flew around abroad, so he did not receive the call.
The entire carefully planned and obvious fraud process was done by Arthur almost alone in prison with a mobile phone.
And this prison is also known as the most reliable and strict prison in the state. It is famous for its extremely restrictive and strict measures, and it custodies the most dangerous and difficult criminals in the state.
Then, how did this scam be discovered in the end?
is probably the news that the bank lost Arthur after paying the huge sum. It may also be that Arthur did not repay the loan on time on the repayment date. In short, the bank discovered Arthur's fraud and called the police.
However, Arthur had known that there would be such a day - after his crime was exposed, the FBI did not find the shadow of half a gold coin in his new house.
also has gold coins worth about 6 million US dollars, and it has not been found by the police until today, as if the world has evaporated... What is in sharp contrast to the high-energy plot of this high-energy plot is a "stupid" robbery committed by Arthur when he was 16 years old.
In 2007, Arthur was still a gangster, and he was a fledgling man, trying to rob a local bank with an armed force. But unexpectedly, the bank had been prepared for similar robbers. They pretended to cooperate with the robber's request and quickly gave him the amount of cash that Arthur wanted.
A few steps out of the bank, Arthur was injured by the explosion-there was also a chemical explosive hidden in the handbag given to him by the bank.
So, 16-year-old Arthur began a 14-year prison journey in the warden.
But Arthur, who was imprisoned, seemed to have cheated in the cruel prison life.
He was just locked in Georgia State Prison, the security level is not the highest. There, he opened his "career map".
He set up a gangster named "YaP (Young and Rich)" in prison. He became the leader of the gang. Usually, his subordinates can only call him "YaP luxury" and cannot call him by his name directly.
By the gang established in this prison, Arthur got a lot of money. Some of them were spent on Selena Holmes, a girlfriend he had never met.
That’s right, he was sentenced to prison at the age of 16. Arthur relied on making friends online and found the “Lady of the Village” for the gang—the members must also respectfully call Arthur’s girlfriend “Mrs. YaP.”
They call videos, chat with texts, and post voices - Arthur uses his mobile phones smuggled in.
was confiscated for a mobile phone, and he smuggled another one in. The prison officials never managed to prevent him from getting a new phone, nor did they find out whether it was helping Arthur get a phone.
During the "dating", Arthur did a lot of things for his girlfriend. He transferred a lot of money to her, bought her an Mercedes-Benz car, and finally bought her a house in Atlanta.
But the dramatic plot appears at this moment. Arthur's girlfriend confessed to him that she had a suitor in a free life and the other person was very nice to her.
and Arthur made a surprising move: He called and hired two gangster killers to kill the guy.
The unlucky man was attacked and his lower body was paralyzed from then on. During the attack, Arthur called to follow the dynamics and directed the operations...
However, this time the assassination of Arthur's girlfriend was also an accomplice. She provided Arthur's position and finally helped him in the assassination. Her girlfriend was also sentenced to 12 years in prison last year for assisting with intentional homicide.
Because of this assassination, Arthur was transferred to the now heavily guarded Special Management Department of the Department of Punishment (SMU), but who knew that he started to call to defraud banks again and even got it...
. The FBI found out that a few years ago, Arthur pretended to be Florida Billionaire Herbert Wertheim opened a bank account and cheated $2.25 million, but the money was also transferred by Arthur into gold coins and disappeared...
Now, Arthur is using the same trick again. But if convicted, Arthur's $11 million fraud record would create the highest number of frauds in prisons in the United States.
However, after reading Arthur's crime story, netizens were deeply impressed by him:
"Unbelievable!"
"This is too smart."
"I'm not imprisoned, it's impossible for him to do what he did..."
Of course, some netizens criticized the prison for doing what they did:
"I want to say: Is this prison too embarrassed to claim the safest prison?"
"How is this possible? Why is no one closely monitoring the communication and activities of these prisoners?"
Many people feel that Arthur's crime plot is simply wonderful:
"All online bank account opening must have two steps of identity verification, including providing personal private information of the owner of the household. How did he steal this information? There are many hidden details in this story..."
" This story is great! How many online security has he cracked in banks and prisons?! Hire this person as chief security All official! "
" Who said no one paid for the crime? This guy is so smart that he promoted all this. This is a good movie material. "
I have to say,
The whole thing is too outrageous...
