011. Great Heists
For centuries, brilliant minds have changed and shaped the world. But when genius is used for evil, the results are some of the most twisted, inventive, and outrageous crimes in history. From bank heists and the take-down of a major airport, to breaking into a royal palace, these cold-blooded masterminds were born to out-smart the law.
022. Underground Capers
From drug trafficking, to one of the biggest bank heists in history, and even a mining scam that rocks Wall Street, these scheming masterminds all one thing in common…they committed their crimes underground.
033. Sensational Scams
It takes an evil mastermind to pull off a million – sometimes even a billion – dollar swindle. From Bernie Madoff’s classic Ponzi scheme on Wall Street, to pop-music mogul Lou Pearlman, or a man with an extraordinary palate taking the vintage wine world by storm, to the master of doping and deception Lance Armstrong – scam artists are hustling in every sphere of modern life.
044. Hidden Contraband
Criminals always have to hide their illicit goods, but these devious crooks take it to the next level. From ruthless drug traffickers like Pablo Escobar and Frank Lucas to a New York slick scam artist, these cold-blooded masterminds have one thing in common: they make all traces of their crimes disappear.
055. Great Escapes
It takes a devious mind to engineer an impossible escape. Whether it’s breaking out of a maximum security prison or evading a global manhunt, these brilliant criminals are experts at epic getaways.
066. Crime By Design
These are the most evil architects of crime who designed perfect schemes, outsmarting anyone who dared to get in their way. A mastermind of government corruption, a team of college con artists, a psychopathic serial-killer, and one of the world’s most cutting-edge drug lords – each devise elaborate plots to take over the world.
077. Hi-Tech Hi jinks
Whether it’s overcoming the sophisticated multi-layered security of a diamond vault, using the deep web to take drug dealing into the 21st century, training with high tech gear to beat a casino, or most nefarious of all, employing software tricks to spread terrorism around the world – these master criminals are on the cutting edge of technology.
088. Explosive Villains
A bomb is an anonymous killer that in the hands of a criminal mastermind can be used to distract, murder, or even make millions. From a serial killer with a twisted worldview to a con man with a sinister scam – when an Evil Genius uses a bomb the damage is nothing short of catastrophic.
