From what Dante claimed, one of his students knew somebody who knew somebody on the inside at Perlator.

And that student went to Dante with this information, quote, because of his reputation.

But the biggest factor that points towards someone getting away with their part in the heist, maybe Count Dante, maybe not, was the fact that over $1 million in cash was never recovered by the authorities.

And that money remains missing to this day.

Even though Count Dante may have successfully pulled off one of the largest heists in American history, a darkness brought on by the cocaine and his own penchant for violence was quickly settling over the deadliest man alive.

In March of 1975, Dante acted as guest host and probable silent partner for an event held at the Roseland Ballroom in Taunton, Massachusetts.

This event was billed as the Taunton Death Matches, which nicely reflected just how grim things had gotten for the Count.

See, the rules for the Taunton death matches allowed anyone to enter off the street and sign up for a spot in a no-holds-barred bare-knuckle brawl.

Thumbs in the eyes, groin kicks, testicle crushing, anything and everything was allowed.

And most of the contestants were just violent Massachusetts shitheads with no training whatsoever.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's either three seconds or 40 minutes.

Or it's like, you know, that incredible scene in Deadwood when Dan beats the, he fights a hearse man.

Oh, yeah.

It's probably the best fight scene ever filmed.

Yeah.

The captain, I think his name is.

The captain, yeah.

Some of them are like that.

They're fucking, make you want to throw up.
