Evil Genius

From drug trafficking, to one of the biggest bank heists in history, and even a mining scam that rocks Wall Street, these scheming masterminds all have one thing in common-they committed their crimes underground.

From ruthless drug traffickers like Pablo Escobar and Frank Lucas to a slick New York scam artist, these cold-blooded masterminds have one thing in common: they make all traces of their crimes disappear.

Whether it's overcoming the sophisticated multi-layered security of a diamond vault or employing software tricks to spread terrorism around the world, these master criminals are on the cutting edge of technology.

Whether it's breaking out of a maximum security prison or evading a global manhunt, it takes a devious mind to engineer an impossible escape.

From Bernie Madoff's classic Ponzi scheme on Wall Street, to pop-music mogul Lou Pearlman, to the master of doping and deception Lance Armstrong, scam artists are hustling in every sphere of modern life.

From a serial killer with a twisted worldview to a con man with a sinister scam, when an Evil Genius uses a bomb the damage is nothing short of catastrophic.

A mastermind of government corruption, a team of college con artists, a psychopathic serial-killer, and one of the world's most cutting-edge drug lords-each devise elaborate plots to take over the world.

From bank heists and the takedown of a major airport, to breaking into a royal palace, these cold-blooded masterminds were born to outsmart the law.
