Georgia inmate pulls off one of the biggest heists EVER from inside prison as he steals $11 Million from Billionaire and buys $4.4 Million Atlanta mansion using smuggled-in cell phone.
The story involves gold coins, a private plane, duffel bags stuffed with cash and a Buckhead mansion.
And it adds up to potentially one of the biggest heists ever pulled off from inside an American prison – made even more startling by the fact that the inmate was in the Georgia Department of Corrections’ Special Management Unit, a maximum security facility designed to house the state’s most hardened criminals.
Federal authorities believe Cofield, using contraband cell phones, convinced customer service representatives at Charles Schwab that he was Kimmel and arranged for $11 million to be wired to a company in Idaho for the purchase of 6,106 American Eagle one-ounce gold coins.
Cofield then allegedly arranged for a private plane to transport the coins to Atlanta, where some were used to buy a $4.4 million house in Buckhead.
