Download The Pierre Hotel Affair: How Eight Gentleman Thieves Orchestrated the Largest Jewel Heist in History AudioBook Free
New York City, 1972: Bobby Comfort and Sammy "the Arab" Nalo were highly skilled jewel thieves who specialized in robbing luxury Manhattan hotels. (They once robbed Sophia Loren's collection, alleviating the Italian actress of over $1 million in gems.) With all the blessing of the Lucchese criminal offense family, their next storyline targeted the posh Pierre Hotel - number to kings and queens, presidents and aldermen, and the wealthiest of the rich. Attired in tuxedos and influenced in a limousine, this music group of thieves arrived at the Pierre and with perfect timing, they seized the security guards and, in systematically choreographed techniques, they swiftly took the night staff - and many unfortunate friends who been roaming about the lobby - as hostages. The deposit boxes inside the vault chamber were plundered and, after the intruders kept the Pierre under siege for almost two hours, the gentlemanly thieves departed in their limousine with a haul of $28 million. But then matters started out to deteriorate. Comfort, Nalo, and their partners began to increase and triple combination one another - two absconding to European countries with the majority of the booty while three were murdered by their previous associates.
