    I was a slightly happier person before I looked in to the guy being arrested here.

      wasn’t he just a thief?

        He was a career criminal, that’s not the issue.

        He was a big Nazi, and would say “two heil Hitlers” instead of three cheers.

          TIL :(

          I’ve updated the post to link to the wikipedia article; I probably would not have posted this if I had seen that first :/

          It’s odd that the petapixel article doesn’t mention he’s a nazi or that his identity was unknown for nearly 30 years after the incident as wikipedia says; it instead implies he was already known for other things by saying he “starred in theater productions and television shows” 🤔

        Not just any thief, but a serial fraudster and social engineer. Imo it makes it even better.

    Easily one of the top five memes of all time.

    I’d put it right up there with “Risitas laughing”, which is still my personal 🐐

    I somehow managed to never know about this video until about six months ago.
