American Greed: Scams, Scoundrels and Scandals Season 11 Episode 10 Junk in a Box / Been Caught Stealing

In this episode of American Greed: Scams, Scoundrels and Scandals, we explore two separate stories of greed and theft.

The first story revolves around a man named Robin Sage who posed as a wealthy investor in order to scam unsuspecting victims out of their money. He promised high returns on investments in a company he claimed to own, but in reality, he was simply pocketing the money for himself. Sage's victims included friends, family members, and even a retired police officer. As authorities closed in on him, Sage fled the country but was eventually apprehended in Belize and brought back to the United States to face justice.

The second story focuses on a group of thieves who stole millions of dollars worth of goods from high-end stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. They would enter the stores with large empty bags, fill them with expensive merchandise, and walk out unnoticed. The group, which included both men and women, was highly organized and used tactics like distraction and decoys to avoid detection. Eventually, they were caught by law enforcement and faced significant prison sentences.

Throughout both stories, we see how the desire for wealth and material possessions can cloud judgment and lead people down the path of illegal activity. The consequences, however, can be severe and long-lasting. American Greed: Scams, Scoundrels and Scandals offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the importance of staying on the right side of the law.
