They were stealing them and putting them in shipping containers sending them to the Middle East. As well as Mexico in their empowerment lot by the border over 100,000 vehicles yearly from the USA stolen. And had a lot of car thieves working under him and he was sending a lot of them stolen cars to the Middle East also
You did a good job. I'm about to post, and it is NO slight at all to this video... Think it probably expands on it.. Again... Thanks for you time and work..
Nothing like the luxurious K series. Premium vinyl dash with wood-like trim, real faux leather seats, and unbelievable handling. Car and Driver said it’s like nothing else…. Thankfully! Motortrend claims 0-60 times in the low 20s. Sure that was Kilometers, but man they had style. Like Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. 😂
So the guy did 10 years, but since his 75 million was paid to him in China, it seems he still stepped out of prison a multi-millionaire. 10 years is a long time, but dang- 75 million is 75 million!
$75 Mil and he still needed to continue? I don't understand these people, when they have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their life and continue until they get caught.
I watched a documentary about this a few months ago. It's interesting how fast they can steal modern car so fast. Great channel your vice is perfect too.
That was brilliant shipping the cars by rail to the West Coast. As soon as the narrator said the volume of thefts and that nothing was recovered I was like “bingo they are in shipping containers in a NY port” I was wrong and I’m an old school chop-shop guy. I did this for 12+ years. GPS/rf/cdma jammers, locators, faraday cages at my dismantle locations, cameras all around the area of my dismantle spots. Multiple llcs for front businesses, never talked crime on the phone, had a gf of 4 years during this period who had no idea what I was really doing. I’m nearly twenty years removed from that life. I would be a liar if I said I didn’t miss it. I’m just broken I guess
"But it doesn't last..." - YEAH it did - ten years is amazing - especially with a large team. As someone who sometimes wishes car theft was prosecuted like horse rustling used to be, I can't NOT admire these guys. Wow.
Fantastic video. I’m looking forward to the rest of your content. MinJinYang paid parking attendants for cooperation. I wonder if he paid someone to not watch the bridge ? Seems he had more than luck on his side.
$75 million was, assuming, his take but imagine the overall operation probably costed well above $200 million. The initial investment in equipment, buildings, people and payoffs would not be cheap. This operation was loaded with safeguards.
As always, good video, this is one of those times, reality is over fiction, it's amazin how you can mount all this operation, and stay there for 10 years... Just imagine if that last thief didn't mess it, they still will be there robbing today!!
@@Mikeemike2121 the New Yorker was a “luxury car” the Aries K was their budget car, offered in a convertible also I believe…..i may be wrong, many moons have passed lol
I would do 10 years day for day with no good time or early release for a fraction of 75 million. But for 75 million I think I could do 10 years in solitary confinement and only get fed enough to keep me breathing. 75 mil is a lot of money and 10 years isn’t that long once you are at the end of it.
@@tomperkins5657 Im not too sure what the modus operandi was back then in that regard, but pleading guilty certainly must’ve helped. Everything down to the courtroom was very calculated
Okay, I’m going to pause it at the 40 second mark because I think I know this story, pretty sure this is the dude that had all those cars in his backyard. I’ll come back at the end. Well, I was definitely wrong 😂🤣😂
Quickest easiest quietest way in. Most alarms of that Era wouldn't go off if you broke a window and crawled in. They would only go off if you unlocked or opened the doors.
Y'all gotta think 75 million in the 90s is $142 million Now, only doin 5-10 years.. Couple years ago they caught a Ringleader of Car Thiefs and he got 25 years! 😮😅 $500 Million worth in cars But why did he think he was not gonna be caught 😂
Just my opinion... This should be titled: "The biggest KNOWN car theft (ring)".. I actually knew someone who did federal time with some russians / Ukrainians in the late 90's and he got into business with them relating to this kind of operation/s around 2001, I believe. He ended up getting disappeared sometime in 2012.. That or he is living in Russia or someplace.. DOUBTFUL.. But, that is the last anyone heard from him. That being said, and me only sharing by proxy = I was NEVER involved and once I did know more over drinks and seafood, I went out of my way to distance myself.. There are a few things likely missing here, but based on dates and times, it likely happened during or later.. Last thing first.. Even back when this took place, the U.S. Government could know all of the bad actors on the china side of this and NOT a single person over there would be in trouble, and a LOT of this should not be surprising... The top tier of this stuff is government / state sponsored, or tacit approved (license to bring in WHATEVER as long as the power brokers get what they want out of it - and by "power brokers" , I mean high levels of government(s)). . Does anyone know how many stolen vehicles Gaddafi had in his warehouses before he was ousted and killed.. "She's" destroyed now, but here is one of the ways that russia and Ukraine moved the top tier of luxury / collector vehicles, and "rumor has it" with the backing of the powers invested in not paying a penny for even the rarest of vehicles... GOOGLE: AN-225 "MIRA"... The world's largest transport airplane.. I wouldn't have actually believed it but my childhood friend and I.. He went to an airport near where we both lived at that time.. After, I met him at a restaurant and we drank ritas and ko'd lobsters on the patio that just happened to be right on the flight path (of.. Sorry.. No K-xxx).. He got a call while sitting there and said, hey, come check this out.. "The biggest plane in the world that is chock full of rare 'missing' vehicles just took off..

I had a buddy that had a 67 GTO. 4 speed car he's to chain it up to the tree in front of his house slept upstairs by the window with a 357 and a 12 gauge pump. Mossberg three in. Pumpkin balls here in detroit on the east side. Nobody I mean nobody fucked with that car😂
That guy Dean? Well, theres a story about him looking a lot like someone else and got falsely arrested for some time. Random to see and know he was up to this on another channel/ story
If people only knew😮 This could be done in 48hrs....its about what yah know, and a smidgen of social engineering. Anyone in the auto manufacturing industry that wants a demonstration I could run a red cell op and show you, ..... its just ridiculous how easy it is to take brand new vehicles. 😮
No matter how smart of a criminal you are or how large of an empire you create and even if you're operating by exploiting corruption more often than not that empire will be destroyed by weakness, that of others, and the mastermind in charge! Someone is gonna flip simply due to the lack of the mastermind to take it to the limit! There's truth in, "I'd rather be feared than loved" This is why the cartels are so powerful! When the dude was pinched had he been dispatched along with his, well nevermind you get the point! If you're gonna do 40 to 60 years make it count or else get a job
All of the police military and CIA never realize the key to breaking Asian fast is to be an Asian. I am an American living in Asia and I can tell you unless you live here, speak the language fluently, and have a Mama and daddy that takes care of you---- in all these cases you cannot be called in China or Asia because you don't know anything about Asia.
This is also true for any kind of terrorist or secretive activity planned in Asia cannot be caught by white guys. There is no way even for a white guy to live here for a long time-- your Asian wife will fix you in the end.
It’s the rush of doing it, not the money itself. That is the cherry on top for them. Best believe dude has some loot placed away. If he made $75 million and went back to China, pretty sure he ain’t doing too bad. Just sayin.
This story amazes me, and I just had to make a video about it. Let me know what you think!
The biggest STING OPERATION in US history is the current one in operation by DONALD J TRUMP.
They were stealing them and putting them in shipping containers sending them to the Middle East. As well as Mexico in their empowerment lot by the border over 100,000 vehicles yearly from the USA stolen. And had a lot of car thieves working under him and he was sending a lot of them stolen cars to the Middle East also
The repetitive music ruins the video, would be at least better if it wasn't so loud .

Very good video.
The sarcasm is great in this video. Talking about high end cars while showing a Plymouth K car.
It's a reliant automobile.
The "K" refers to the car's platform.
