A man who worked as a bank teller in Cleveland and robbed his employer of $215,000 52 years ago has finally been unmasked by US Marshals - six months after he died.
Theodore John Conrad died at the age of 71 in a north Boston suburb in May of this year, having turned his hand to selling luxury cars as a career, and later ending up broke. His wife Kathy and daughter Ashley only found out their father's secret during his final days, as he succumbed to cancer.
Conrad successfully pulled off one of the biggest bank robberies in Cleveland, Ohio history making off with what would now be the equivalent of more than $1.7 million in today's money. He did it all from the inside as he walked into his job as a teller at the Society National Bank in Cleveland, where he had access to hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash every single day.
Conrad told pals that stealing from the bank would be very easy - and later made good on his promise after walking out on it with a huge stash of cash one Friday evening.

This is the alternate ending to the one where Dick York was the bank teller who could read minds.
He steals $1.7 million in today’s money in 1969.
He goes bankrupt in 2014, 45 years later.
He dies in May 2021 at the age of 71.
They figure out who he is in November 2021.
Looks like he pulled it off but blew the money somehow.
He was a golf pro for 50 years. He essentially retired in 1970.
likely have to pay the bill with God

Easier way to steal money.
Start up a “green company”. Apply for government backed loans. Pay all the top guys tons of money. When it comes time to deliver, go bankrupt.
Repeat as needed.
He spent most of it on wild women, race horses, and blow.
The rest, he just wasted.

As a corrections officer I was in the unique position of being able to read prisoner case files at my own discretion.The number of people who would’ve gotten away with their crimes if they had only shut their mouths is rather high.

US Marshals found him. The FBI only hunts down stolen diaries.
That’s sad that he would give up on his family like that and abandon them.
That is very true. So many crimes are uncovered because people blabbed.
Well, wouldn't that be the purpose?
He made it last for 50 years which is better than how most people make out who come into a windfall.
Might be what he wanted to run away from??.
So true!
We have political crooks sucking our country dry!
But being able to change his name played a big part also.
Nowadays lots of criminals give themselves away by bragging on Facebook.
He made $1.7M last 45 years. Of course he had other income. But still - not bad. A million or even two million ain’t what it used to be.
This article and the other one are very slack on details about how he was caught. The exact order of the events. I assume that the only reason that authorities decided to check him out was because of his confession. That somehow his confession was leaked. If that is the case then the authorities did not catch him at all. They only confirmed. Nothing more. Yet these articles attempt to paint a different picture.
