Michael DeSanta | Grand Theft Auto Biographies | S1E12

  / thecriminalhistorian   Lies, Luxury and Legacy, these are but the tip of the iceberg for tonight’s subject. We will take a look at one of America’s most notorious bank robbers who cheated death more times than the Republican Space Rangers. We will follow a man from the top, to his grave and beyond as we examine the life of a career criminal who tried to walk away from the world he was so familiar with to settle down on the sunbaked boardwalks of the west coast. A family man, when the definition is stretched, who spent years executing some of the most notorious heists in this nation’s history before his elaborate attempt at beginning again and subsequent return to the life of crime which had made him famous. We will witness explosive action, failed father figures and one of the single largest robberies ever performed on US soil, a direct result of the planning and cunning of one heist crew with humble roots in North Yankton and its leader of questionable morals; Michael DeSanta. Grand Theft Auto Biographies is a GTA Lore show which aims to explore all noteworthy characters from the GTA universe in a detailed and in-universe format. New episodes every other week.
