"The Antwerp Diamond Heist — 100 Million Stolen, Hairspray, And A Salami Sandwich"

The Antwerp Diamond Heist wasn’t just a robbery—it was a masterclass in precision, paranoia, and human error. Join Steve on Heists, Hustles, and Homicide as he unpacks how Leonardo Notarbartolo and the “School of Turin” slipped past ten layers of high-tech security, hauled out millions in diamonds and gold, and then got undone by trash, tape, and a half-eaten salami sandwich.

From replica vaults and hairspray hacks to whispers of double-crossing diamond dealers, this episode digs into the twists, betrayals, and mysteries of the heist that shook the world’s diamond capital—and why the missing millions may never be found.

About the Podcast

Heists, Hustles, and Homicide
True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide — the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Big Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators — and victims’ families — decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con — or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case — beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night — welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
Make sure to follow the show, and buckle up — episode one drops next week”.
Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
