Look at this guy. Happy Go Lucky.
Would you buy a luxury car from him?
Conrad was been featured on America’s Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries while investigators chased leads across the country, including Washington D.C., Inglewood, California, western Texas, Oregon, and Honolulu, Hawaii.
The case remained cold until this past week when United States Marshals from Cleveland, Ohio travelled to Boston, Massachusetts and positively identified Thomas Randele of Lynnfield, Massachusetts as the fictitious name of Theodore J. Conrad.
Something similar happened at First Chicago Bank way back in the day. “Someone” just walked out with a sack of cash containing over a million dollars.
They never caught the person.

Keeping your mouth shut is a big part of getting away with things.
Congress does it everyday in the open.
Great story!

I think I watched the movie 🍿
He won.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents had a number of episodes exploring this theme. He no doubt lived out his life as a loyal Democrat.
But, but, FBI was busy planning ahead and looking forward to investigate Conservative ‘Terrorists’.....
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.
Look at this guy. Happy Go Lucky.

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.
That’s sad that he would give up on his family like that and abandon them.
Might be what he wanted to run away from??.
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.
Huh - Willie Sutton was right. That is where the money is.
Flitcraft was a real-estate agent in Tacoma, Washington. He had a comfortable life: a wife, children, a good income, money in the bank, regular four-o’clock golfing outings. Then one day he disappeared. He just walked out of his office and never came back. As Spade puts it: ‘He went like that … like a fist when you open your hand.’ What had happened that day in Tacoma was simple. On his way to get lunch Flitcraft narrowly avoided being killed by a beam falling from a nearby unfinished building. Having lived a life of order and responsibility he now realized that none of it mattered and that life could end at any moment. He adjusted to his new knowledge by leaving that afternoon. ...
Conrad/Randele walked off with a lot of cash, but like Flitcraft in the story, he eventually settles back into his old routine, only in a new city under a new name.
