True Crimes Storytime Edition - Lee "Lighting" Murray

(Podcast length - 4:53 mins)

The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) middleweight fighter, Lee “Lighting” Murray, is the mastermind behind the largest cash heist in history.


Summary

Currently serving his 25-year sentence in a Moroccan prison is former UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fighter Lee "Lightning" Murray. His former boss UFC President Dana White, once said, "He's a scary son of a b---h, and I don't mean fighter-wise." Murray was charged with being the mastermind of the largest bank heist in history - $100M. While the plan was flawlessly executed – the robbery took place without any injuries or even a bullet being fired. They weren't so bright afterward, where flubs like abandoned guns and cars and snitches were prevalent. Don't think this half-Moroccan citizen has let the downtime in the slammer go to waste. He tried to escape using tiny saws that were snuck inside biscuits.
