Our take on The High Roller Heist podcast

The High Roller Heist takes you on a weekly journey through Anthony Carleo's daring decision to rob a casino. Buried in debt, this Italian kid from Colorado saw no other way out than to target the Suncoast, a modest casino away from Vegas's glitz. His transformation into the Biker Bandit is a tale of desperation and bravery. On one fateful December night in 2010, Carleo stormed the Bellagio, not just taking a fortune but also brazenly enjoying the spoils right under their noses. It's a story that proves truth can be wilder than fiction. The High Roller Heist is a society & culture podcast by Wavland.

I LOVED it! It was such a good story, and so well told. The biker bandit HIMSELF tells it - he is so engaging, intelligent, funny, self-deprecating, and a natural story teller. I am scouring the interwebs for a series like it - I wish I hadn't yet heard it so I can go back and hear it again for the first time.
