You probably don't know much about bank robber Eddie Bentz, because that's the way he wanted it. Although he was associated with well known criminals such as Baby Face Nelson and Machine Gun Kelly, he preferred to keep a low profile. It's estimated that he robbed over 100 banks in his career and he may be the smartest criminal we have covered on the show so far. So smart that FBI directer J. Edgar Hoover has said that Eddie was "the shrewdest, most resourceful, intelligent and dangerous bank robber in existence." What would make Hoover say this? Listen to find out!
