About this episode

This episode covers The Art Thief by Michael Finke. A non fiction book that follows the crimes of Stephane Breitweiser from 1995 to early 2000s.

Ever wondered how someone can steal over $2 billion worth of art without selling a single piece? For seven years, he stole from over 200 museums, averaging a heist every 12 days! He claimed it was all for the love of art, never making a profit. This book dives into his psychology, his motivations, and the twisted relationship he had with his girlfriend, who was both his accomplice and a victim of his obsession.
