Ridiculous Crime. It's a production of iHeartRadio.
Elizabeth Dunton. I got a question for you, Yes, do you know what's ridiculous?
I most certainly do.
Are you going to share it with me? I guess, would you please?
Yeah?
I will.
I love this time of year.
I'm a big fan of springtime, spring summertime.
This spring summertime, not like the dog days of second later on, but this is the best time. And I'm really I just the other day cleaned my grill out in the back.
Oh not my teeth, the.
Barb exactly, keep it crusty. The barbecue got that goes.
WHI whisk it up right?
It was you know, it was time I took the cover off of it. It's the season.
Yeah, I get ready for it.
And I so I really like that.
I like entertaining and grilling and that kind of stuff. And you know, there are a lot of like chefs that you can follow who do that. It feels like it was maybe like fifteen years ago that it was all like the tattooed chef guys who were like, I want to show you how to girl?
Yeah?
Whatever? Did is it?
Now? Who are the big girls?
I don't know?
But one that I that always kind of pops up is Bobby Flay.
Oh God, Bobby Fla.
I'm like, not a fan.
Okay, doesn't people beat him? Is that the whole thing? Yeah, You're supposed to see him on the guy beat Bobby And I'm like, oh yeah, really yeah? Do you get to watch him get whooped at the point of the game.
I have not watched that show.
Okay, surprisingly title, So yeah. So Bobby Flay, right, I all I know about him is that he was married to one of the eighty as on Law and Order.
Really, I think the blonde which blonde?
The SVU one?
Okay, yes, yeah, you're talking about Okay.
I think they were married. And if I'm wrong, don't correct. I don't give a whoect anyway, but.
There was something and I should have looked this up before I came in here, but something where like when they divorced, someone had like a sky like a banner, a plane pulling a banner that said something.
I don't care if this is true or not. I love this.
Yeah, anyway, So Bobby Flay, I don't like him cat and I'm not sure why, but I just don't like him. He has joined forces with pepsi.
Damn it.
I know it's gonna be about sky riding. Like you know what, he found a new love because there was a new message in the sky.
Okay, so he he was like grabbed Pepsi by the hand and was like, came here.
They have a new grilling product.
I forgot the grill, of course, but it's actually it's called Smoked, a grilling inspired cola on Colone. It's a cologne's eric and it combines quote the unmistakable scent combination of pepsi and a flame fired grill.
So it's a grid pepsi a grill.
And so it's like they said, the world's first ever cola own is designed to reinforce just how well grilling and pepsi go together.
They really want to push that cola.
Is in all cats and all if you don't even need to fire up the grill to experience the joy of pepsi and grilling. You can bask any unapologetically delicious scent everywhere you go, says Jenny Danzy, senior director at Brand Pepsi.
They need to apologize to the French for cola and oh the stink of that, just the portmanteau of it.
I know, col and then like Bobby Flay, there's a picture of him all arms crossed like.
Bobby.
Well, he's the one who came up with this, I guess.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But do you think like they're gonna rebrand this as just the burger king smell in a little while?
Oh my god. Although you know, here's the thing, like on East Fourteenth in Oakland, if you drive down East Fourteenth as you go through each neighborhood on like a Sunday afternoon, each like ethnic neighborhood, you get a different barbecue scent, and it's amazing. You just roll the windows down, like you go from like the Vietnamese neighborhood to the you know, South American Mexican. I like that, but I don't want to have it on my body anyway.
That's ridiculous. You think Guy Fieri could pull this off? I'm sure Cola Owned Can he pull that off? I think he could.
It'd be like Donkey Owned can just smell like mayonnaise and tequila.
Well, well, I'll tell you what. That's ridiculous, Elizabeth. I got one for you, if you got a second, Yes, please. All right, this guy I'm gonna tell you about today. He was called the Craigslist bank robbery Right now, for me, I prefer his other nickname, dB tuber. Wait, yeah, Potato, Yeah like dB Cooper, but dB tuber like YouTuber. You know, like I'll explain later, but just know this, if you're going to do the crime, make sure you get a
good nickname. Right, you got it. This is Ridiculous cron a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers. Heiss and cons. It's always ninety nine percent murder free and one hundred percent ridiculous. Yes, hey, Elizabeth, Hey, what's that you like stories?
Yeah?
Sure, you like dogs.
I love dogs.
I know you like dogs. I was just dog sitting, are you how'd that play out for you?
Amazing?
Did the dog? I agree? Like, oh hey that was also.
The dog was like high five.
I love this.
Yeah, let's do this again next week totally. Well, ever, tell you about my time posting pranks on Craigslist.
In the early days of Craigslist.
Yeah, like this was like, this is like my dog sitting. It's like how I entertained myself.
I love this and I've got some Craigslist antics too.
But keep those.
Okay, well mine, we're just cheap entertainment. Like I'd post an ad in the like services section for the short term gig. There was no short term gig, Elizabeth. But for example, like in San Diego, I posted an ad that I needed someone from the military to beat me up so my boss would believe my lie for why I was not at work so I wouldn't get fired. The post it read and I quote not kinky, looking for a man to beat me up for one hundred
and fifty dollars. It has to be real. Oh my god, can you guess what kind of reactions I go?
Oh?
No.
One guy emailed me. He said, so I told my buddy about this, and he said, we can drive there from Colorado. We will take the trip. Wait, oh yeah, a woman, a woman wrote in I'm not a feminist, but I'm a woman. I've had a stupid day and could use something like this instead of taking it out on someone in a bitchy way. Off you up, let's talk.
Wow, I'm not a feminist.
I'd put in the ad that about how I didn't think a woman could do it. That's why I'm asking for a man. And I said look, I'm not a feminist, but.
I was a little callback.
It's like some Andy Kaufman stuff. Oh, totally producing me. You would have loved it. Another person they wrote in my boyfriend's trying to do this, his phones broke, So that was the only message I got there picking out their boyfriend's beating up but.
The phones broke. I used to a friend of mine. Friends would post like things for sale on Craigslist. I would like create an email and then ask them questions like I was interested in buying it, but like really weird, like innocent questions, and then they'd get weirder and weirder, and then they'd be telling all the friend groups like, oh my god, I'm trying to sell this whatever they want to know if my couch smells like curry?
That was I liked another one. I also had posts on Craigslist at ad in Cambridge, which is where t is right, and so I asked for.
People all over the country.
Oh totally. I was asking people if they were willing to become part of an underground experiment, right, And I said, like, would you be a subject and let me do gene editing on you? So I give you your skin stripes, or like, maybe give you a taiale. I've worked out both of these with gene editing. Now, some folks they were willing to let me try my handed human experiments for no pay. I offered no money whatsoever. I just offered them the chance to have a tail or stripes.
Some real life furries. They came at me, Elizabeth, and I didn't know they were furries at the time. They didn't say they were. But these people, they were like, give me the tale, right, Worse.
Than furries, there are the other can ones.
Oh yeah, come at me, just come at me at this point.
My favorite though, of all the Craigslist prank listings I did, had to be when I asked people in LA to come over to my house and help give advice to my sister, who was reluctant to listen. Right now the ad read quote wanted persuasive person to convince my sister she's not a mermaid. And then I explained, because people are like, well, so I wrote, help my sister thinks she's a mermaid. We've paid for therapists, she says they're fools. We've tried bringing in a marine bio. She said he
was denying her truth. She just spends all day in the bathtub while I'm at work, and she makes my wife wait on her, bring her food and drinks to the bathroom, bring her new candles or incense. She gets drunk on wine and sings. She chanties to herself. She won't believe no matter how kindly we ask. Right now, there's more to it. I gave her a whole backstory about our parents and stuff and how her sister, my
sister wouldn't forgive me. Then I offered three hundred bucks to anyone who could get her, like spatula, her out of my bathtub. Now, obviously they have to talk to her in the bathtub because that's where she lives. So since she's a mermaid now, one woman wrote back to me, Elizabeth, is this for real? I would love to come and give it a try. I am a female unicorn fairy princess, age thirty four. I think I can do it.
Oh my god, No, of course you get those right.
But a guy wrote to me, Dude, your sister just needs to get laid or have a deep conversation. Either way, I can be that guy for he let me know, and I got you.
Oh, my gosh, everything on this.
There was another guy who wrote, I used to work with Alex Jones. If I can handle that, I'm pretty sure I can handle your mermaid problem. What Alex Jones person? Yes, there was another person, a woman, who told me in a rather scathing email for three hundred dollars, I will convince you that you are a ridiculous storyteller and no mermaid should ever be denied simply because you can't tell a story that includes mermaids in a positive light. How
bad ass is it? Your sister is a mermaid. You would think the tail would be a tell all, but just like Bible thumpers, you need more proof because I mentioned that she had a tail, but it's like a tail. I made it like a costume tale. But anyway, it was a long ass. Now I probably should have mentioned, as I said that she was always splashing around in the bathtub, because that was in the ad, like a big part of it. Like she's splashing water and she's
got her tail. That's the whole point. Anyway. Some joykill finally wrote in Elizabeth, what type of sick joke is this? To lure people? I'm reporting this post? They thought I was like trying to get people in my home. I'm bizarre story.
Where they're like, yet, no, seriously, that was that's a very predatory, bizarre era in your life. It sounds what are you talking about?
I mean like, well, okay, you know the one I told you about where the guy said, hey, beat me up for my boss.
Right.
One person told me I just saw your ad. I just want to let you know that you're saying a woman can't kick your ass. This will make me do it for real. Ten out of ten, I am a girl who could beat them out of you. I'll do
it for seventy five dollars. WHOA. This is what I wanted to see as I wanted to see all like the negotiations and how people place value on the things that I arbitrarily created, and how willingly they would be engaged in and then they would travel from Colorado like I was like, what will people the story they tell themselves and then respond to and I'll just get them
going with some nonsense about a mermaid. Anyway, My point is I tell you all this, Elizae, because this week I found someone who used that exact same sort of humor that I have, but instead of for a joke. He did it to rob Bank. Okay, yeah, see this dude used Craigslist job offers to pull off a super wicked heist. Amazing, right, yeah, so I mean, you know me, I'm like, hey, Craigslist, this is free entertainment. This guy's like, hey Craigslist, this is free money and decoys. So Elizabeth,
they call him dB tuber. Now you ask why dB tuber?
Is that like a potato dB Cooper, but Genie Cooper.
But it's also because he's struck in on the Pacific Northwest, just like dB Cooper. But also he had a wild plan, an imaginative escape that he had planned, right, and that was that he was going to use an inner tube. Therefore, dB tuber.
Oh what an inner tube? Yeah, I'm really excited to find out how this all comes together.
Doesn't involve water, oh it does.
Okay now these days his bio reads. Anthony Curcio is a best selling author and motivational speaker who first gained notoriety when he committed an audacious heist back in two thousand and eight. Cursio stole four hundred thousand dollars from an armored truck and then escaped in an inner tube Downer River. Yeah that's right, Elizabeth, motivational speaker. This dude is my kind of people in so many more ways than one.
How he has turned this into a motivational speaker career. You know how I feel about motivational speakers and more importantly, life coaching.
Oh yeah, GTF.
Oh yeah, he raided those two to gather through in some Ted Talk to give it some pizzazz and razzle dazzle. Now. Also, he'll probably need to update his bio from doing Ted talks to now working on his next memoir from prison because this year, the same cat got involved in the underground Pokemon scene.
Oh wait, stop, Like yes.
I swear to god he was pushing black market Sharrazard cards. Elizabeth, I'm not even kidding. This dude dB tuber really got involved in the Pokemon Criminal Underground, which totally is a thing. There's Pokemon Criminal Underground, got lighting over here with I like to imagine there's some dude out there who looks like Vin Diesel and he's like part of the Pokemon criminal underworld. He's telling you a Pokemon trainer is family. Anyway, we'll get into all this later first, let's talk DV two,
but I want to explain what all that is. We'll hold the Pokemon questions for later. Yeah, So, Craigslist bank Rubber, Elizabeth, I'd like you to meet Anthony J. Curcio. He grew up in the town of Monroe in the state of Washington. Tony was a big man on campus. He was a star athlete letard in football, basketball, so good in football
that he was the captain of the team. He was that classic, as I said, big man on campus and eventually here into scholarship to go play football in college at the University of Idaho, which is in Moscow, Idaho, if you're curious. And then something happened to Elizabeth that derailed Anthony Cursio's all American story. Here, let's have Tony Curcio explain it.
Himself, Tony Curtis.
If I could do it, Tony Curtis impresion.
Tony Curtis explained this.
I only do an impression of Tony Curtis doing an impression of Kerry Grant. That's the something like it hot. Yeah. Anyway, so this guy, Tony Curcio, he speaks with the site sportsman dot Com, which is a Pacific Northwest side Anyway, told the interviewer, quote, well, it is the story of a good footballer who has never committed a crime, who thinks, ah, screw it, I'm gonna go out and commit a robbery. It wasn't like that at all. It was definitely a
gradual thing, and just like anything, it started small. I was a fast wide receiver and I went to the University of Idaho, the same place my dad had played the seventies, and things were going great. Then I tore a ligament in my knee, and that was pretty devastating. This is the common story. Elizabeth star athlete gets injured
before turning pro, life changes dramatically. Now, I mean that's the same plot of Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray's bowling movie Kingpin, Right, I mean, boom there it is right there.
Time.
Yeah, we all saw it. We just looked past it exactly. So Tony Cursey I was injured leads to an even worse downward spirals. Tony Cursey, I told the Sportsman, and I quote, my entire identity was wrapped up around sport. When I was injured, it was like my self esteem went down the drain. The pills made me feel good. It was a perfect storm for the addiction to stick. Yeah, that's right. He turned out pain pills.
Yeah, that's what happens.
It's terrible, totally tried to stay numb to life. But he doesn't wholly blame the pills, right or the addiction for him becoming a bank rubber. Instead, Cursio, he lays the blame at the feet of a more elemental truth, Elizabeth, about who he is, or has he put it. I became very materialistic. I had never given it about fancy cars or looking cool or needing attention, but now I needed validation from other people constantly because I was so miserable. So I started to go out and party. I wanted
people to like me. I just became a real douchebag. That's the best way to describe it. So big man on campus wants to reclaim glory, becomes bank rubber. Is essentially the story he thinks he is no anyway, So that's his Craigslist bank robber backstory. As I said, real douchebag. Just keep that in mind. Now that we've met our man of the hour, let's take a little break, Elizabeth, and after these extra juicy ads. I got queued up for you. I'll tell you how this bank robbery plan
plays out. Hey, Elizabeth Sarah, he diaging the Tony Cursio show. I know you love a story of a big man on campus. Yeah you also water sports.
These are all your interests, all the good stuff.
So after Tony Curcio left college, he came back home to small town Minroe, Washington.
Right.
It's like a basically a suburb of Seattle, but it's not really a suburb. It's more like just a town outside of Seattle. Right. So Tony he gets back on his all American program as best he can. So he marries his high school sweetheart, They have a family. He finds work and success as a real estate agent. Boom.
Right, it sounds like a good fit for him if he's you know yeah.
Yeah, and people know him like and he's got name recognition in Monroe. So anyway, remember, as he said, he'd become a douchebag or materialistic to put it or politely, So he starts chasing after monetary success. This is all to dull his sense of the lost promise of his life. So and also he's popping pills and drinking. One day, his wife, you know, she tells him she's pregnant again, right,
and the new baby's on the way. Tony curcioh he's feeling a little overextended because he's a real ortor and this is two thousand and eight and he needs more money. So he decides to take the advice of your man Willie Sutton. He went down to the bank because that's where the money is. Exactly like will he suddenly planned to rob it, or rather, he planned to rob the armored truck that would deliver the money to the bank.
Why go inside if you don't have to exactly real smart guy, you know, just a clearcut thinker.
Efficient.
So he picks a bank in his hometown of Monroe's right in the bank. Everybody knows exactly the Bank of America on Old Owen Road if you're from Monroe. Now the sportsman, they asked him why he chose to rob an armored car or truck or whatever, and Cursey I recalled how quote I was coaching a junior high football team in the town about forty minutes from where I lived. So one of those days where I went to get something, I was sitting there and I watched the Brinks truck
pull into the bank. That was it light bulb moment. The seed had been planted.
So now he's now he got a junior high school football pitch eating the whopper in his car in a parking lot season.
Okay, yes, I'm painting a picture.
I'm doing my own picture. And he goes, that's my answer right there, everything inside that car. All have to do is get it out and put it in my pocket. So he you know, as I said, he'd fallen on hard times when he wasn't being a real estate agent because that pretty much fizzles out in two thousand and eight because of the basically the financial meltdown, particularly in the real estate industry.
He's underwaters.
He's underwater or try over his head with like you know, bank loans and so forth on houses he's been trying to leverage.
He's just like, no one's selling Oh.
No one's selling houses. Yeah, definitely. So he starts working for his parents landscaping company. So he's doing that in the in the coaching right. So now he starts using the land gate company as cover. So while he cases the bank, he just right bracket forth. You gotta see this, Like I went and I looked at the Bank of America. I did it your way. I Google drove around it. There's very little landscaping to be done that way.
He's on the sidewalk, and.
It's ridiculous, like he would just need like a blower. Fifteen minutes, you're done anyway. So that's his gig and he's just doing it real slow. So we can case the bank and find out what happens on a Tuesday when the truck comes along, picks up the money from the weekend, and then boom boom, boom boom. The security guards they pay no attention to him because he's a landscaper, so it's like we see him here all the time. Boom.
He's able though, to clock them, so he starts figuring out what the security guards are doing, what the armored car drivers are doing, gets the whole routine down. As he put it, I watched it every Tuesday for a month and a half, and there was a ton of planning and logistics. Sure there was coach.
Now.
Once he had the armored truck delivery scheduled down, he starts working on his disguise because he's everybody knows who he is. He's in Monroe, so and he also needs to get away because once again he's in Monroe. So he decides, you know, because we always talk about this, Elizabeth, the robbery isn't done until you get away with it, exactly right. He figures that out. He's like, okay, I
gotta work on that first. So his first plan jet ski. Yeah, he's like, look, there's a creek right by the bank, creak, and I'm going to put a jet ski in the creek and then just zoom away. It's a creek, Elizabeth, it's a it's a creek. Yeah, it's it's everything you're picturing jets. So he goes out. He dredges the bottom of the creek for weeks and he figures out he tries to make it deeper because it's a creek. It's not going to take the jets.
He's got like equipment, I suppose with his.
He's got landscaping equipment. So he goes down there and he's doing it and he cannot get it deep enough to run a jet ski. So yeah, he's like, okay, I'm going to need a new plant. So he switches so much time, new plan inner tube.
So it's the fastest way to get down.
He's the best way. So he's like, you know what, I may need a little help, So he strings some cables along the side through the tree. So now he kind of pulled himself along. Okay, right, that's not bad thinking. So lastly, he had to make a plan for himself about, you know, how to deal with the armored car security, because he didn't want to use a gun, so since that would change the nature of his robbery. So Tony Curcio, he's just focused on the money bags and how to
convince an armored guard to drop the money bags. And it would be key since he's not armed. He doesn't want to hurt him, do want to punch him. He's like dress as a ghost, yeah, boom, you know.
And then you run to your inner tube in the brackish waters and then he float on down.
What Tony's plan was, and I quote the big problem for me, he was getting the guard to let go of the bags. A gun wouldn't have been sufficient because firstly, I'm not a gun guy. I don't want to shoot anybody. But secondly, I pull a gun. He pulls his and although his hand comes off the bag. It's an immediate stalemate. So became a question of how to get his hands off the bag, plus make sure he doesn't pursue me and ideally not even see me. And that's yeah, well
his answer. Yeah, that's where pepper spray became a win win situation maker exactly. It's non lethal and the perfect way to get his hands off and up onto his eyes because no matter what, no matter how hard, people try hit him with pepper spray, and they're going to touch their eyes. Interesting, He's not wrong. It's a biological response.
This.
Now, as far as the arm guards and the question of if they choose to shoot at him, Tony said he had a plan for that too. The old fashioned element of surprise, Elizabeth. Yes, if there's one thing I learned from football, it's the element of surprise. Yes, people always say football is the element of surprise.
It's like warfare, the core notion of it.
And He's like, as a wide receiver, I always knew where I was going and what I was doing, which gave me a huge advantage over the defensive. That was my thing on the day. I had the advantage because I knew where I was going Granted he had a gun and I did not, but that still doesn't take away how valuable that element of surprise can be.
What was the surprise in being a player who knows exactly where he's.
The defensive back doesn't know his rout he's gonna ring. So he's like, I'm totally surprised, man, this is just blowing me away. All the defensive backs like, I just watch your belt buckle and it tells me where your body's gonna go. Anyway, his plan is he'll surprise the arm guards, pepper spray them, grab money bags, make a run for it, element of surprise down to his waiting inflatable inner tube, and then escape down the creek. Whole proof plan Elizabeth in his hometown. Now he's also created
tearaway clothing for his disguise, because remember a hometown. So he secreted a bright yellow getaway inner tube, and then he did a few dry runs because he wanted to practice.
He use a bright yellow inner tube.
I do not know, but so to practice ditching his disguise and timing how long it would take to get you would get away Interer two. But he's doing the dry runs, you know. Lastly, he puts the final little piece of his plan into action. He posts an ad on Craigslist. Yes, the ad was for short term work as a landscaper. It offered twenty eight fifty per hour, which in two thousand and eight that's great pay, especially
for landscaping. Right there, you're like, oh, totally, But in two thousand and eight, trust me, I was in construction. That'd be like, I will be there on Tuesday. What time? Yeah, So enough of that it would guarantee plenty of folks like me to come. That's my point right now. So potential employees were told to show up at the Bank of America on Old Owen Road at a set time, and to show up dressed for work. Right, So the
ad listed what these prospective employees should be wearing. So now all is set, and then comes the fateful day September thirtieth, two thousand and eight. It was, of course, as I said, a Tuesday, because that's the day he's watching every time. It's Tuesdays at around eleven am. Strangers being able to show up at the Bank of America wearing yellow safety vests, safety goggles, a blue shirt, and a respirator mask. They all are wearing exact the same thing.
Among them is Tony Curcio, wearing the exact same thing, only he's also wearing a wig, and all of his outfit is tear away clothing with velcrow inside.
Right, Okay, first of all, wigs, thank you.
Yes, I needed that. You need the wig? I figured. So when people arrive, he's already working, so and he's always pretending to work, and he's spraying weeds outside the bank, and his plan's working perfectly. People keep showing up, they keep billing about more and more people. As he put it, though, he gets a little annoyed by the people. I'll let him toe it. They were very annoying when they got there.
I was already pretending to be working. So here's a bunch of guys dressed like me, waiting for a supervisor that hasn't showed up, and they want to know what's happening, and they naturally assume I must know what's going on because I'm working away. So these two guys start following me everywhere, actually running after me. I had to go around a corner real quick and ditch the disguise. And this is before the money is even turned up by the time it shows up. I'm up in these bushes
behind a grocery store putting my outfit back on. It was crazy. I don't know, Elizabeth. Together you would think that they were going to come up to you and ask what's going on?
Do you think would happen?
I do know. I think you just wanted it all to work seamlessly, like they all showed up at the exact same moment, like within like thirty seconds of each other.
But even then, they're not just gonna stand there like you know video game characters are gonna have to do something.
They're gonna know about and wonder who's paying me this? Twenty eight do I talk to?
Oh man, there's all these other dudes. I got here.
Exactly there you go? You see Where'm But Elizabeth, what why do we talk about this? Why not? You know? We've gotten to the crucial moment, Elizabeth. I'd like you to close your eyes. I'd like you to picture, Elizabeth. You are in the small town of Monroe, Washington, located there in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, at the confluence of three rivers, the Skykomish, the snow Homish,
and the Snow qualamy. In fact, the snow Quality Falls is the famous waterfall that features in Twin Peaks, if you're familiar with that anyway. At the moment, you're in Monroe, Washington, looking to find work, and it isn't easy because it's two thousand and eight. That whole globalomy crushing financial crisis is bedeviling you. Two today, as I said, Tuesday, September thirtieth, two thousand and eight, and you, Elizabeth, are pulling into a Bank of America parking lot. You pull up in
a borrowed car at nineteen seventy seven Ford Ltd. That rattles and runs a bit rough. It backfires, and you pull into the parking lot. You find a spot, as you also spy a gathering crowd in the parking lot. A dozen strangers are wearing the exact same outfit that you brought with you to this temp gate and they're all standing in the parking lot outside of the exact same Bank of America. Once you park, you put on your bright yellow safety vest, your safety goggles, and your
respirator mask. You turn off the radio and shut off the car. Its sputters and dies. You really hope it will start again. When you're ready to leave. Then you get out closed the heavy door, dressed in your matching bright yellow safety vests, safety goggles, and respirator mask. You walk over to where others are knowing about some guy introduced themselves Mike, and he's hoping that you're in charge. And she says, I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for twenty eight to fifty
an hour? Can you believe it? And that's all he pretty much knows about anything. It's all you know. He seems. Whoever is in charge, whoever is doing the paying and employing, has yet to arrive. As you look around for someone acting like a boss, you see an armored car arrived. You don't know it, but it's right on schedules. Just s's Tuesday. You wait a little more, nothing's happening. No
boss arrives. Now, being curious as you are, you note that one of the landscapers is walking over towards the security guard as they walk out of the bank with the money bags that they are there to pick up. The landscaper walks right up to the armored car guard. He's pushing a hand cart loaded with heavy money bags. The landscaper acts like he knows him. Then he whips up his hand to ie leve him. He sprays something in the guard's face. You guess it's pepper spray based
on the guards hanged the action. He cries out and grabs at his eyes. Doing so, he drops the money bag cart. The landscaper scoops up two money bags and runs across the parking lot like a running back or merging from the line and breaking away from a long end zone run. He could go, oh the way you watch a landscapers. He runs across the two lane roads. He stops a moment, rimps off his yellow safety vest, his respirator mask, his safety goggles and the wig all gone.
He runs across a gravelly parking lot between a pair of small local businesses. You can still see the landscaper. He stumbles as he crosses the grass. He drops one of the money bags. He doesn't look back, He just keeps going with the money bag. He runs along Steven's Pass Highway, headed for Woods Creek. Then he disappears into the woods down by the creek. Gone, Elizabeth. It doesn't take you long to put it all together. You were just conned into being a decoy for a bank robber.
You turn to the guy next to you, Mike, not Mike, Oh sorry, and you say great, looks like we're not getting paid, are we? And you also hope you're nineteen seventy seven, Ford Ltd Starts back up now that you have no reason to stay. But you're not going anywhere, Elizabeth, because you just realize you're a night witness to a bank robbery. The cops are gonna have questions.
Oh my god, he dropped one of the bags.
Oh yeah, so Elizabeth, you just watched all this go down. Yeah, Tony Curciel's plan executed, gets away with his robbery, or you know, at least one of the bags. And can you guess how much cash was inside the bag? To one bag?
One bag?
Four hundred thousand dollars?
What?
Yep? What grays is a very interesting question we did for me. How much does four hundred thousand dollars in cash? Way?
But okay, aside from that four hundred what are they doing with four hundred thousand dollars at this bank?
There was way more than that.
Generally don't move that much cash.
Oh yeah. Turned out that there was this like fair in in the area at the time. The fair generated all this extra money and he knew that it would be. And then it's also basically right during the you know, September, so people are all coming doing back to school stuff, all the big shopping in September. So there's a lot of loose money.
Wow, that's a that's a ton.
But mostly it's the state carnival that is in there. Yeah, So how much does four hundred thousand.
Dollars wagh nine million pounds?
If it was in one dollar bills, it would weigh eight hundred and eighty one pounds. In twenty dollars bills, though, it would only weigh forty four pounds.
And this was in one bag and there were multiple bags.
Well, he only carried two. Yeah, he dropped in one. Yeah, Okay, he got lucky because the one that he had had the fourhundred thousand dollars in it. So one hundred and eighty thousand of it was in one hundred dollars bills. Can you guess how much one hundred eighty thousand dollars one hundred dollars bills?
Right, hundred thousands.
I'll just tell you four pounds, four pounds. It least four pounds. Yeah, okay, good, good, great answer. How'd you know that?
I don't know.
So that's that's nothing. We can run at four pounds, right, That's exactly what Tony Curcio said to the sportsman. He said, one hundred and eighty thousand and one hundred dollar bills, that was no problem. I could run with that like a football all day. But the remainder, the other two hundred and twenty thousand, that was in twenty dollar bills. Now, can you guess how much two hundred and twenty thousand dollars in twenty dollars bills weighs? Elizabeth, come on.
Big Winter, Big winner, million pounds.
Very close. Twenty four pounds. Okay, yeah, that may not sound like much, but it's an awkward, sloppy twenty four pounds. So Cursio said, that was a problem. That was a lot of weight, but the adrenaline helped.
It's like you get a twenty something pound bag of dog food.
Yeah, really, it's wrestling. Yeah, it's not easy.
So going into the robbery, two of them thirteen pound bag to that.
Way, he had no idea how much the money would he expected the money bags right, and as I said, he just knew there's a carnival in town. He expected about three hundred and thirty thousand dollars way over because one bag's got four hundred thousand. He's stoked, right, Yeah. He manages to run down to the creek line. There he finds his waiting yellow innertube. You asked earlier. This is the waiting yellow innertube.
Oh my gosh, it's like a kid.
Yeah, like no bright yellow kids intertube. Look at that bad boy. Could he be any brighter?
He should have been on one of those swans.
That would be amazing. So he hopped on this. It's also wrapped in canvas a little bit on the bottom. Anyway, pulls himself up the creek. It is. He doesn't go down the creek. He goes weight up the creek. Yeah, using a cable and pulley system that he'd rigged in the trees. He goes two hundred yards upstream. There he rips off his tear away disguise, climbs out of the water, crawls into the trunk of a waiting getaway car disappeared driven away by an association.
Oh.
The cops respond quickly. They're honest small town to go upstream, yeah, everyone would think exactly. So the cops respond quickly, not quickly enough, Elizabeth. When they arrive, you're still standing there with a dozen other people. That's all they have would be landscape, and they all say, yeah, that guy ran off that a way, and they'd go down to the creek and they think, what you think they go downstream?
Yeah.
Anyway, the localman rope d quickly determined why there are so many would be landscapers because they heard about the Craigslist ad. They go, Okay, they do the math. These people are decoys, and the detectives realize this is our only lead to go on, is this Craigslist ad. So then got to call Craigslist and see if they can find out who posted the ad.
Well, hello Craig.
Meanwhile, Tony Curcio, he's at a you know, celebrating his score because he'd done it. But the cops, they do eventually discover the tear away disguise, the dust mask and wig that the purp had worn.
Oh DNA part.
So now they've got a DNA party exactly popping off. So if the purpose in the system he or his family ever used twenty three and meters. He's gonna get caught well.
And then this is a federal thing though, because.
It's exactly I was gonna come in.
Local PD doesn't have to handle all that stuff.
So let's take a little break, Elizabeth, and we get back. We will find out if and how they catch him. Oh oh yeah, and also pokemon, Elizabeth. He ready for some more. So my man, Tony Curcio, he's gotten away with it. He's gone upstream instead of downstream. He's got decoys instead of actually going in with like accomplices. The guy's kind of brilliant in a lot of ways.
Well, he did have the accomplished driving.
He did have the accomplaice to drive him, so he did. Yes, we know about that.
So we did it, Joe.
Now that he's done it, and he takes his four hundred thousand dollars two hundred and twenty and twenties and one hundred and eighty one hundred dollars bills, what do you think he's going to go.
Off and do I don't know, by a better n or two?
He bought a range Rover SUV. What yeah, okay, remember materialistic douchebag, he said it himself.
How did did he go in with cash?
I'm assuming so then he also suspicious. He invited some friends and his mistress to join him on a trip to Las Vegas to go blow his payday, like want to be high rollers? Wait mistress, Oh yeah, he's got a mistress. Yeah, I just saw that in a couple of news stories. They're just like, oh yeah, and his mistress. Anyway, So back in Monrow, the FBI arrives in town and they want to investigate the robbery. All they have to
go on is this physical evidence. Right, So they go and they collect the DNA, they run it, they test it. The purpose not in the system. Damn it, there's no good but they hang on to it. Becau it's still good evidence.
Right.
And then Tony Curcio though he's made one mistake, one mistake, Elizabeth that the FBI and eventually, well his doom will be all come together because this guy, what do you think the one mistake was?
Umm, the driver.
It's a good one. It's a really good one. No, he pretended that a homeless person or an unhoused person wasn't a person, and it wasn't somebody sitting right there watching what he was doing. He allowed her to be a witness he was doing collect watching him do his dry runs, watching him practice, watched him rip off his wig and stuff, and then he had done that before right in his dry run. Well, guess who went over
and collected a free wig and a free stuff. This unhouse person and that guy is going to bring down Tony Curcy carefully executed plan right because as I said, during one of the dry runs, he tears away his clothing, his wig, leaves it all there. The unhask guy he keeps it and then he goes and he contacts the City of Monroe employee about this odd behavior he had seen.
Look at this good citizen right.
And then three weeks later, that same bank that he'd been, like, you know, sitting near watching this occur gets hit, gets robbed by a man wearing a mask, a dust mask and in a wig. So this same man comes forward again. Now this concerned citizen becomes a good samaritan and he tells the cops what all he's seen, what all's he's collected. But not only that, this guy turns over and I
swear to God, this is amazing. A black two way radio, a yellow safety vest, a black wig with a short ponytail, dark sunglasses, a large can of mace, and a baseball cap another DNA party.
Wow.
Right, So also there's another thing he's got. He wrote down the license plate of the car because of the odd behavior of the man who just kept doing these dry run So he hands over the license plate number to the cops. He's like, here you go, and the license plate the cops they run it real quick. The license plate belongs to Tony Curcio's wife. He took his wife's car. What ach Now they have a suspect. FBI agents get to work. They start to surveil Tony Curcio.
Investigators grab a bottle that he was drinking from when he pulls into some gas station. They run the DNA on that. It matches the folks that they'd like the Washington State crime Lab. Right. They test it and it matches the DNA from the recovered items from the bank job and from the dry run. Boom, Tony Curcio has now been made. He's out driving around in his new range Rover, shopping with a friend in an outlet mall.
The same buddy who was the getaway driver and the FBI rolls up with the local Monroe PD and arrest Tony Curcio at the outlet mall.
Why is it so hilarious to me that isn't an outlet mall?
Yeah right, yeah, so materialistic and on a deal. So boom, Just like that, Elizabeth, perfectly planned executed robbery goes bust because he ignored one man, Yeah, human, one man who is down on his luck.
Yeah, it doesn't even realize he's there. Yeah, I love it.
Further proof, Elizabeth, as you often indicate, you ignore another person's humanity at your own peril. So, years after he got busted by that on house good samaritan, Tony Curcio looked back and he said, it was a huge surprise. I was so shocked. I just never saw it coming. After the robbery, everything went to plan. The money moved exactly as it was supposed to, funneled and cleaned through
two small businesses in the area. But the person who laundered the money became an informant, and that was another nail in the coffin. You know, the only person who stayed quiet, had no reason to stay quiet, was my wife. She said to the police, do you think I'm going to assist you put the father and my kids away. He needs help, not jail, So she's right, but she needs Yeah, And anyway, he got jail, so he was. He was arrested on charges of robbery first degree. He
was released on bail. Tony. Then while he's out on bail, he goes and tries to contact witnesses and gets sent back to jail for engaging in witness tampera. Yeah. So finally May fifth, two thousand and nine, he pleads guilty and he sentenced to seventy two months in prison three more years of supervised release.
Yeah.
Right, And as I told you up top, though, we're far from over from Tony Curcio because out once he comes out of prison, remakes and rebrands himself. Then he gets busy in that underground Pokemon scene. Connect.
I don't even know.
You ready to hear about the recovery and the the it's like rise in second Fall of Tony Curcio. So, Elizabeth, after he gets out of jail, Tony Curcio published a book, of course, because you know, as we constantly cover, there's no better writing retreat than prison exactly. So he wrote a book for children about what to think and feel when daddy is in jail. Yeah, I think it's a meaningful book. I mean he had talent. He was doing pictures for the other inmates to give to their kids
when they come to visit. It means like I got a talent for this. Then he started writing a book about what it means when daddy's in jail. It's a necessary yeah, totally so. And he parlayed the same book. Yeah, oh, I know exactly. It's a very common book, but I mean it can hurt if you can reap into a different group whatever. Exactly, It's a story that needs to be told. It's true anyway. He parlays that book into a redemption narrative that eventually sees him land on like
the Ted Talk stage right now. He's He also gets back into football, you know, and he starts coaching, as I said, for the local.
Youth team, going to try and go semi pro.
And while I was riding high on all of his newfound success, he gave an ama on Reddit, your favorite place on the Internet, and he answered questions. Tony was very candid, and I was surprised by this, Like he was asked like if he came out of prison a more hardened criminal, which is a question we often consider, like you know, basically it's like you know, criminals university and there exactly. Tony said, well, I'm definitely more hardened
now than I've ever been. And sure when I came home, I did have a lot of offers to get back into crime because I kept my mouth shut inside and that's rare. Oh you didn't flip on yourself, buddy, Way to go, right. But I'm not about the money anymore. Money can't be important to you. If you want to stay out, you can't get a career. Yes you can't get a job, but you can't get a career, So
people go back to crime. It's a vicious cycle. But ever since I walked out a solitary, I've never wavered from where it is I wanted to go.
What was he doing in the solitary.
He apparently was in solitary for either his own protection, he was getting in fights. I couldn't quite Yes.
It is his own protection, because he irritated.
That that's what I was, That's what I'm thinking. So it changed him that his time in the hole and forced him to confront himself, and he said, well, I was in the hole. I started asking myself, how did I get here? Who put me here? Whose fault is it? We see this a lot right sometimes to come up with good answers.
I can answer that for him. Right now.
I came to accept it was my fault, nobody else's. I created the scenario, and if I could hold myself accountable for that, I could change the direction I was going. My focus stopped being about me, It became about my kids. And that's when the transformation happened. Elizabeth. I think what he said, he meant it. But then the colors came Pokemon, and he forgot all, forgot about his kids.
Plame the kids for that.
The kids introduced him Gateway drug. So this year Tony Carcio he made headlines again when the FBI arrested him. And I have to say all that follows is alleged
because he's yet to be tried and convicted. So but as FBI Assistant Director in charge James Smith alleges for over two years, Anthony Carcio and Joe Bonder Chuck allegedly manipulated common level trading cards to fraudulently inflate the retail price from its true market value by assigning false validity grades, resulting in more than two million dollars in victim losses.
How did they do this? Great question? Was a bit thank you again, According to allegations in the DOJ's indictment, quote, Cursio ordered from an online marketplace various items needed to
create forged cards, cases and labels. The items included various card grading cases, thermal transfer bar code labels, a magnifier loop, optical glass, a handheld inkjet printer, a lock cutting kit, an electric grinding pen, an abrasive buffer and polishing wheel, and abrasive and bristle brushes and drill bits designed for engraving. End quote.
So he bought all this stuff online.
Yeah, that's a hell of a counterfeit kit.
That's amazing.
So what do you know about the world of Pokemon Elizabeth and Pokemon cards?
It's pronounced pokemon.
Oh right, sorry, not much.
I know that's the Pika choose.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to collect the card.
Do you know they're valuable? Sure, like like a lot of valuable, totally surprisingly, So it works like this for the modern trading card market because you're oftentimes like oh, baseball cards aren't worth anything anymore. It's not exactly true. It kind of is true, but you'll hear. So it works like this. There's this company that functions as a
card authenticator and a greater. So for a fee, this company will verify a trading card, be it a baseball, football, basketball, hockey, or Pokemon or Pokemon, and the company they rate the card graded on scale of one to ten, right one
being the lowest, ten being the highest. Top grade. You send the card to the company to be graded, and then they after inspection the company, they seal the card in this quote distinctive Tampa resistant plastic case that encloses the card to preserve its condition and indicate it's great on in a fixed label label as a barcode. It's a sealed deal, right. Naturally, the market value hugely affected by this company's great process. So this is what Cursio manipulated.
For instance, I'll give you another for instance, nineteen eighty six Fleer Brand Michael Jordan number fifty seven Rookie card aka the nineteen eighty six MJ Card. Can you guess how much this card is worth? If it carries a grade of.
Eight nine hundred million dollars six to.
Seven thousand dollars. Now, can you guess what that same card is worth if it carries a grade of ten? Just two steps up hundred and eighty five to two hundred and three thousand dollars hihs grade way up high? Whoa big difference, right, Yeah? Enter Tony Curcio. In May of twenty twenty two, he posted on the site The Manhattan Marketplace that he possessed a nineteen eighty six MJ card with a sale price of one hundred and seventy
one thousand dollars. Real deal, Elizabeth, Here's the card he listed, just so you get a sense of.
It, Okay.
Now, rather than have the card be graded by a company responsible for such things, he just did it himself. He's like, I've got the tools, I've got the time.
It looks like a ten to me.
Yeah, exactly. I love this card. It's a total tag. So the card listed he purported it to be in a Tampa resistant plastic case that add the barcode from the grading process, blah blah blah with a certification number. Now, according to the FBI, Cursio and his Underworld associates they successfully sell these cards through the Manhattan Marketplace for a while. And they're all counterfeits, right, but they're real cards. The
grating is the counterfeit part. So you buy a Michael Jordan, it's the Michael Jordan card, it's just like a two instead of a tent exactly. It'll have like a rippling in the card, or freight edges or like dogs spit on it. I don't know, like whatever.
This much money, oh yeah, And they're.
Just milking people who are basically how afraid of us? Are you? That's the kind of the thing. So they sell their counterfeits. They mostly go to card shows. They go to auctions places with a lot of foot traffic, also card shops where people don't really know any better, and of course online platforms. That's where they can really bring in the suckers. Sometimes, though, a buyer would receive the card and they would be like, wait a minute, like you, this is bys this is fake, fraudulent, I
cry lie. They get pissed, right, so then they'd make a bunch of noise and I'm gonna go into Manhattan Marketplace and denounce you, and cursio Ow and his partner they would apologize, Oh, I'm sorry when to sent you the wrong card, send it back to us. We'll return your money. They would, And then they go around and they take that card. They'd find a new sucker and sell it to him. So they just kept doing this in all the while, they're doing this with fake names.
Right to Tony Curcio, he can't use that name because you type it in into Google and poop Upcom's a bank robbery. So his name was John Steele. Chum, so you wanted to get into porn, I'm John Steele now. He would. Also if he got into real trouble, he would occasionally direct his buyers to one of his friends to deal
with the problem. For instance, according to the DOJ indictment and I quote, after a victim complained to Bonderchuck about his sales of fraudulent cards, including a Tom Brady Rookie card, a John Elway Rookie card, and various Michael Jordan cards, Bonderchuck gave the victim Cursio's phone number, but falsely told the victim that the phone number belonged to another individual, who in reality was a leader of the Hell's Angels
motorcycle wait a second, So that part was real. It was a real Hell's Angels biker that the call got. So the person goes, hey, I'm gonna bonder Chuck. The associate goes, hey, you need to talk to John Steele. Yeah, John Steele's actually Cursio, and it gives them Cursio's number. Cursier was like, oh, you got to talk to my friend, gives them the number of a Hell's Angel biker, a real Hell's Angel biker who knows that the call is coming in and scares the hell out of the person.
Right, this is what I always want my life.
Yes, that's what I wanted to tell you.
Who can just do those kind of things exactly?
So they had that, They had your dream. Now where does the Pokemon mister Pokemon, where does he come into all the Where does in Elizabeth? There was a nineteen ninety nine Pokemon Venosaur or Venisair, I don't know whatever it is Venusaur card and a nineteen ninety nine Pokemon Charizard card. These are the two cards. Okay, yeah, I know you love these.
It is so good.
No.
Last year twenty twenty three, Tony Curcio and his black market trading card underworld buddies. They were offering these two cards, the Venosaur card for ten five hundred dollars. Found a buyer, buyer put up money, they sent the card. When the buyer received the card, the undercovered law enforcement agent was like, thank you, Ding ding ding. We got our evidence. The case was made. So people have been complaining about him. Eventually somebody got to the marketplace and then that's all
it took. They needed one card. Fraudulent boom. Tony Cursio gets popped for a second time. Now he's facing a maximum of twenty years behind bars for wire fraud and mail fraud because he sent it in the mail and that's where they get you, the mail telling you and every single one is its own charge. Yeah, and also a federal good point now, setting aside his foray into the dark underworld of counterfeit Pokemon, What I wanted to know about Tony Curcio he ended up answering during his
Reddit ama. Yeah right, because someone on Reddit they asked him the question I would ask, which is, why didn't you just quietly take the cash and move to another state? You got away with it, bro, What was the whole point of staying in Monroe. If you robbed the bank, and so he said, and I quote, the whole purpose, the whole plan was to pull it off and stay right where I was. That was never part of my thinking.
I wasn't really the wisest person back then, but I also was wise enough to know I didn't want to live without my family or live on the run.
It sounded like he was laundering the money there, and that's hard to move.
Seems like he thought it would just be an investment plan, like he would just get this money and then flip it around and take care of whatever the financial schemes.
He at going be suspicious.
Yeah, the FBI wouldn't come in, Yeah whatever. Yeah, Well, anyway, not really the move, Homy. But you may be wondering, I thought he saw the light in solitary confinement. What happened when he came back out the Pokemon card? Why did he go back criming? Well, Tony Curci when he robbed the Armborg car and he took the proceeds and invested it in legitimate businesses, he also invested in some of them were illegal, as we covered right, This kind of points to he's never able to get away from crime.
He can't out help himself. He's just kind of criminally minded. So with the benefit of time self reflection, he seemed to grasp something elusive about himself. As Tony Curcio put it, and I quote, I'm just very extreme. I got diagnosed during my time in prison with the psychologist in there, and they forced me to see psychologists as part of my probation. After a while it got old. He got frustrating to me, just because at this point I know who I am and what I need to do for
my personality. He think he's right, he needs the juice.
He was diagnosed as extreme extreme.
You sort you have extreme itis. I'm so sorry you got a.
Case of extreme.
It's not going to go away. Yeah, it looks radical, bat it's congenital. It's totally radical batical, some gnarly tubularity here. So he wants to beat the system. That's what I seem to me like he wants to get away with it, be too smart for everybody else to you know, he's a big man on campus. He's used to getting away with it. Yeah, and he expects to that's my read. Anyway, what's our ridiculous takeaway here, Elizabeth?
I don't understand the collections. I'm not a collector nor now, so I don't. I'm thinking, like, what are you going to use You're an experientialist, yeah, like what are you paying all this money for a pikachuo card? For?
Why?
And just to fight change in time? Basically, that's what I think. I think possessions give you a sense of control in an ever changing world. And so therefore it's like the nostalgia if you physicalize it and you can connect to it, therefore, it's almost a way to go take that back change you can, I can hold onto this. That's what I think. It is the way of the tiny way of control.
Because I change, it just does not compute for me.
You don't need that. You embraced change.
I do, I really really do.
You're more of a gardener I.
Am, literally, but no, I think my my other takeaway is that the impulse control idea, Yes, you always he you know, he didn't have the impulse control before because he sees the armored truck and it's like, oh, there's my things. All of us that kind of stuff were like, oh my god, could you imagine if I and then we don't do it because we have impulse control.
And we realize there will most likely be consequences for our actions.
It doesn't think about all the stories that we hear, all these stories about people who rob armored cars and get away with it and they're never heard of again. No, there are no all those stories.
Often, if you get away with it once, you'll try it again until you get caught.
But see, but like it just doesn't. It's so rare that someone gets away with it.
No, I think that that does happen. It's just rare to do it once and get away with it.
Yeah, but it's it's rare, just full stop.
And so everyone thinks they're the exception.
And he thought he was exceptional. Yeah, he does elizabeth them. And my takeaway, thank you for asking. It's ridiculous. So Tony Curcio said in his interview with The Sportsman that quote, if you treat other people the way you want to be treated, if you put them first and do good things for them, it all comes back. That has been the key to my happiness. I feel better when I'm
focused on other people than myself. My ridiculous takeaway is he forgot the most basic lesson that he himself learned is that what.
He was doing when he was selling counterfit cards to people for his daughter's kids, putting them first.
So there you go. It's all I got for them. For a talkback, flip one of those on Dave. Can you hit the lights on the talk back? Here you go? Oh my god, I.
