An Inside Job

Today we hop back in history to 1998, and a crime that is massively overshadowed by another date in history, just three years later, at the same location. On January 14, 1998, thanks to some insider help, a massive amount of money was heisted from the Bank of America, located in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. This massive heist has mafia ties, armored trucks, subduing employees and everything you can imagine in a New York City bank heist. But will they get away with it? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!
