00:00 - 00:17 "So I really think, you know, when you said, you know, what do I do best? I get people to think and hopefully I get people to take themselves a little bit less seriously because I'm thoroughly convinced when you look at businesses and professional sports teams, the ones that are more light hearted having fun are getting better results.” — Larry Mietus

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
