But that’s not the end of Sam’s story, after being released from prison he headed off to the US where he undertook one of the biggest thefts in US history - Robbing $7.4 million!Sam told us about his decision to steal the money after seeing it laying all around the Brinks and how they had to unload millions from their van before making their escape after it was too weighed down with cash to start. He also told us about getting a priest involved, how they got caught and how they avoided life in prison.Tickets available to our biggest live show to date in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre on July 11th here: https://www.ticketmaster.ie/talking-bollox-live-tickets/artist/5381757
