Summary

What if I told you that the biggest heist in history was one that never made the newspapers, was never seen on TV, and has never even been mentioned in any history book? And I’m talking about 40 billion dollars stolen. Sounds pretty unlikely, don’t you think?

What if I told you that this robbery was pulled off by a bunch of over-the-hill 70-year-olds: a WW I vet who paid his dues in the trenches of Europe, a small-time crook who paid his in regular installments behind bars, a hotheaded Irishman who thought dues were don’ts, and a giant gorilla who, well, he’s a gorilla. Gorillas don’t pay dues. Sounds even more unlikely now, wouldn’t you say? 

Well, here’s the kicker. The 40 billion dollars I’m talking about was the entire Social Security Trust Fund as of 1972, and the funny thing is nobody missed it. It was like it was never there. Now, that’s totally unbelievable, isn’t it?

Well, believe it, because that’s exactly what happened. I should know. I was there. My name is Danny Maxwell, and this is my story - the story of the great social security heist.
