Tony Sales is a 37-year old Londoner who is known to be one of England's largest and most successful fraud artists.
Vice Magazine tracked him down in London and spoke to him about his years as a fraudster and the various means by which he successfully robbed banks and other businesses of between 15 and 30 million pounds.
Rule Britannia: Fraud [Parts 1 - 3]
The three part documentary of sorts follows Sales as he shows examples of fraud and just how easily they can be carried out. Sales comes off as a likable individual, blurring the lines between criminal and a modern-day Robin Hood of sorts. It is an entertaining look into the changing nature of crime.
My hopes are that this brief documentary will entertain and inform. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime worldwide, and according to rough approximations, of a value greater than the Gross Domestic Product of England, France and Canada.
