  The guy said they would only hit jewellers that had made false insurance claims. <br>This isn&apos;t for ethical reasons, or because it&apos;s right, it&apos;s because the ones who made false insurance claims wouldn&apos;t then make a second claim that the stuff was stolen, as they&apos;d already reported it stolen, and they wouldn&apos;t afford to bring attention to themselves. <br>They&apos;d be more afraid of getting arrested for insurance fraud than getting robbed. Therefore robbing the place has less chance of (enthusiastic) involvement of the law.

  Insurance companies never get screwed. &nbsp;They are happy for costs to rise, so they can make their 15% above costs.

  Being the victim of these robberies is the worse. The staff and salesperson suffers, not the store owner or insurance companies. I use to be a bank manager. I was cased out and targeted by bank robbers because I had the keys and combination to the vault. When the thieves broke through the security doors they held another bank employee as hostage with a shotgun whilst asking &nbsp;for me. I had no choice but to present myself to ensure the safety of my colleagues. They put the gun barrel to my back as I was forced to open the safe under duress. The incident caused me years of post traumatic stress. I was paranoid who was following me. Some of my colleagues have been physically assaulted and injured from other burglaries. It&apos;s despicable.

  NGL: This dude was pretty damn smart with his robberies. Not morally but financially by doing his best to not get caught. He actually did a solid job on that.

  Out of all of this, I love how he couldn&apos;t get hired anywhere bc he was a felon...so he created his own certification to become a PT and recreated a more positive version of himself. This is a great story.

  My spouse and I intentionally got an engagement ring with fake diamonds because we knew real diamonds are a ripoff, and we get more compliments on how good it looks anyway from people who don&apos;t know.

  For those of you wondering what happened to his father and brother for them to both die on the same day, apparently they died in a double suicide, or possible murder/suicide. I skimmed through his podcast so I didn&apos;t get all the deets but if you want more info it&apos;s S3E13

  I love to see people reformed and changed for the better after doing bad things. People like this guy who has grown and learned from his past. Sad about the father and brother though
