    The guy is an POS. No remorse, no accountability and continued to blame it on "the lifestyle." The dude gets caught and becomes more of a rat by looking after himself and his time behind bars. What he did can not be undone. Millions of dollars worth of priceless items and he has the audacity to interview like it was a game for him. The line where he says I'm not the hero, Yogi is shows how warped and narcissistic this guy is. Wtf, did he think he had to clarify that to? Himself?

    That’s why he stole the trophies of the champions. Because deep down inside, he thinks he’s garbage and that’s his way to get back at his own cursed fate.

      Haven't felt this grammatically embarrassed since i found out 'tow the line' was actually 'toe the line'. If im feeling particularly stubborn, ill say that all language is made up, and that one use being 'right', and the other 'wrong' is simply an imaginary construct. 😂😂

    Key point…he was the ring leader…he was the one that started all of this and then got his friends to join him….when HE was caught HE ratted on his friends to make a deal and get a reduced sentence. His friends probably would have never done these kinds of crimes on their own….he was the one bad apple that spoiled the whole bunch…and then he turned them over for less punishment for himself. Yes…the friends are criminals too…but he created this and then received less punishment just because he turned them in….that’s not right. He was stealing before he even met them….this was his creation and he would have done it even if they never went along with it because he was the mastermind. I’m so sick of hearing that these criminals can make deals for lesser sentences…they don’t deserve a lesser sentence.
