D.B. Tuber: The Most Ridiculous Robbery in American History

We’re exploring the absurd and brilliant story of Anthony Curcio AKA D.B Tuber—a former football star turned true crime comedy icon. What started off as a well-planned armored truck heist soon unravels into chaos involving Craigslist decoys, a creek getaway on an inflatable inner tube, only for everything to come crashing down thanks to the unexpected brilliance of a local homeless man.

From his criminal beginnings to a motivational comeback and finally to a Pokémon card scam under the alias “John Steele,” this funny true crime episode has it all—bad disguises, bad choices, and one of the strangest redemption arcs you’ve ever heard.
