Let’s say your husband or father is on his deathbed and he confesses that he was a wanted bank robber that you knew nothing about.
Thomas Rendele, which isn’t his real name, before dying, revealed to his family that he wasn’t who they thought. Back in 1969, he robbed a Cleveland bank of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s one of the biggest bank robberies in Cleveland’s history. And he got away with it by changing his name and moving to Boston. Then he got married, had some kids, and sold cars.
The FBI, who never gave up looking for him, real name Thomas Conrad, know about it now. But not because the family told them. The confession was last May. The FBI just put all the clues together within the last month.
I haven’t been able to find out anything about what he did with the money. Speaking of, will his family be liable for it now? I mean, I don’t think that’d be fair, but could the bank or the government legally go after them…..especially since they didn’t tell authorities?
