SynopsisMillions of dollars sat in a small, non-descript bank perched on a hill in the quiet town of Laguna Niguel in Orange County. But deep within its vaults was a secret: millions of dollars in illegally obtained funds belonging to none other than President Richard Nixon. Those stolen funds would not remain Nixon's for long. Over the weekend of March 24, 1972, a crew of bank burglars from Youngstown, Ohio orchestrated a burglary of the vault, which would eventually result in a score of over twelve million dollars - the biggest bank vault burglary in U.S. history. This book tells the remarkable true story of that burglary, written by the real-life mastermind who planned it: Amil Dinsio, one of the most successful and prolific bank robbers and burglars of the 1960s and 70s. Dinsio reveals not only the technical details on how the crime was committed, but also how the perfect burglary was undone by the FBI's dirty tricks.
Notably written by a narcissistic, amateur author, the story is still a good quick read. I actually grew up in Lordstown (the site of one of the bank robberies) and rode my mini-bike on the trail behind this bank often. The information carries a "ring of truth" as it was written by the man that lived it. The information on the FBI's underhandedness shows that today's Federal debacles were being committed back in the 1970's as well. Really a nice black eye for the FBI!
