Show Notes
George Wellford and Willie Richard Short were just two best buds working at a Mitsubishi plant in Mobile, Alabama. When their 401K's got toasted after the 2008 banking crisis they devised a plan to get back what had been stolen from them.

And how did they get away with it for half a decade. Tune in and find out only on HEIST PODCAST.
