#34 - The 300 Million Yen Robbery

In December 1968, Tokyo witnessed a crime that continues to baffle authorities, armchair detectives, and neckbeards nearly 60 years later.

A cunning young man decided that the world was his, and hatched a genius plan – a plan so bold, that some would even call it stupid. However, its brazen nature, paired with the unquestioning compliance of the average human being ensured its success.

As the old saying goes: if it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.

The robber, along with the cash, disappeared into the wet, misty streets of Tokyo like tears in rain, having never been formally identified.

Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery once and for all.
