Story
In March of 2017, a team of FBI agents arrested Juan Granda, Samer Barrage, and Renato Rodriguez, or as they called themselves, "the three amigos". The trio - first identified publicly by the authors of this book - had built a $3.6 billion dollar business in metals trading, mostly illegal Peruvian gold. Their arrests and subsequent prosecution laid bare more than a corrupt finance firm, though. Instead, Dirty Gold lifts the veil on an illegal international business that is five times as lucrative as trafficking cocaine, and arguably more dangerous.

This masterful biography by one of Germany’s best known journalists was the leading nonfiction best seller in Germany. Fest shows Hitler as the receptacle of the dreads and resentments of a shaken social order, gifted with an uncanny instinct for all that was hollow behind the appearance of power, at home and abroad. Though a warped human being, he was neither clown nor puppet, as many liked to think; Hitler appears here as an enormously astute politician, impressing and hypnotizing Germans and foreigners alike with the scope of his projects and the theatricality of their presentation. Fest uncovers in Hitler a constantly destructive personality....

By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in currencies with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers, these black marketeers have sought to rob law enforcement of their chief method of cracking down on illicit finance: following the money.

Publisher's Summary
The bizarre true story of the criminals behind the second-largest bank heist in American history.
One night, in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo manages to steal $17 million - literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink.
There's just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first place - and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out. Now one of the most wanted men in America, and with the FBI hot on his heels, Ghantt must figure out how to get his money, get away from a hit man, and get even.
In this outrageously entertaining book, Jeff Diamant, the Charlotte Observer's lead reporter on the case, offers the definitive inside account of this astonishing true story that has captivated American audiences on the news.

The Gang That Couldn't Steal Straight
I grew up in Charlotte and at the time of the heist still had family in the area so I was able to follow the story by proxy when it came to light. It is the story of mentally challenged amateurs who have one incredibly lucky day and spend the rest of the time that they're free acting like; well acting like mentally challenged amateurs. It's not a bad listen despite numerous mispronunciations by the narrator and it's certainly a unique story.

This was an account of the infamous Loomis heist where David Gant and associates stole 17 million dollars. While Gant waited in Mexico for 5 million that would never come, associates spent like no tomorrow and even tried to have Gant killed. It’s all here in entertaining detail.

Interesting but not too exciting
Heist is interesting, but if you're looking for a comedy like the movie, look elsewhere. The book is a documentary of sorts written by a journalists recounting the events of the Loomis Fargo heist from the various perspectives of those involved.
There is a lot of interesting detail, and if you are interested in investigations or crime investigations, this is a fascinating listen. Especially since as far as crimes go, it's fairly, dare I say, "wholesome"?
However, the raw facts can often be dry. I listened all the way through out of curiosity, but I wasn't as entertained as I had hoped.
Also, some sections of dialog were a rough listen with a constant "he said, she said, he said" after every statement. It was clear, at least listening who the characters were, it would have been nice if some of that had been shaved from the audio version.

Great true story. Completed DIY while listening..We all love a crime story involving everyday people and stacks of cash from the highs, to the stupid mistakes and the inevitable dismal culmination .
Negatives: narrator sounded bored, kept quoting timings as ‘six o’clock pm’…grrrr IT’s just ‘six pm’ !!!! The whole epilogue had really been covered already during the story, felt like filling.

Heist is a great easy read
I got this book after watching the not so good movie (Masterminds) on the subject. This was surprisingly because I'm a big fan of Zach Galifianakis. This book is very easy to follow and entertaining. I highly recommend it. It gives the reader all of the details and the real story behind the heist, which is actually much more entertaining than the fictionalised account in the film.

Twelve-year-old Marion Parker was kidnapped from her Los Angeles school by an unknown assailant on December 15, 1927. Her body was found days later, delivered to her father by the killer, who fled with the ransom money. When William Hickman was hunted down and charged with the killing, he admitted to all of it, in terrifying detail, but that was only the start. His insanity plea was the first of its kind in the history of California, and the nature of the crime led to a media frenzy unlike any the country had seen up to that point.

Story
Twelve-year-old Marion Parker was kidnapped from her Los Angeles school by an unknown assailant on December 15, 1927. Her body was found days later, delivered to her father by the killer, who fled with the ransom money. When William Hickman was hunted down and charged with the killing, he admitted to all of it, in terrifying detail, but that was only the start. His insanity plea was the first of its kind in the history of California, and the nature of the crime led to a media frenzy unlike any the country had seen up to that point.
