432: Larry Lawton | From Jewel Thief to Honorary Cop Part One

Larry Lawton (@LawrenceRLawton) stole over $18m in diamonds and spent 11 years in some of the toughest federal prisons in the country.

  • Why Larry spent over $10,000 to get a professional education in the jewelry trade when he decided this would be the focus of his criminal career.
  • How a business owner can ensure their place isn't the one chosen when a potential robber is casing businesses in search of an easy target.
  • How Larry would plan and execute a heist when he was a career criminal, and what he would do afterward to hide his trail from the inevitable investigation.
