    FULL EPISODE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/THESKINNYWITHJOEYMERLINO
    “Fiore was born to be a criminal” is a direct quote from the US Supreme Court about Anthony Fiore, the 82 year old from Rhode Island who joins Joey and Lil Snuff this week to tell stories about his crazy life as a career burglar. Tony talks about his life starting with stealing silver and platinum in his teenage years, losing his car while gambling in Vegas, stealing a Cadillac from Disneyland in California in the 60s and driving it across the country, truck robberies, bank robberies, being shot at while driving getaway cars, stealing from Frank Sinatra, and completing what the news called “Fiore’s Mission Impossible”; working with a Boston crew of 16 people including Bucky Barrett to carry out a 30 million dollar gold heist by using a bar of magnesium to cut a hole in the vault. This is a must listen.

Great podcast; sports, truth and top class guests

I discovered this podcast when I was working in Japan, I’ve listened to Franzese, Gravano and all the others but this one is my favourite because he doesn’t always go on about the same things!

Reached out to get a hoodie sent to the UK and got a reply from Joey, real authentic team and good content.

To think this man was facing the death penalty and stood up, not many like him about…

Keep an eye out for big Angelo, good looks incredible!
