    Who is, in your opinion, the coolest criminal to have ever lived. There have been quite a few cool criminals over the years, like Frank Abagnale Jr (the guy the film catch me if you can is based on) whose ability to talk himself into or out of anything was legendary, or Jesse James, who is still in the public conciousness today.

    Hmmmm....... well he did actually. They show it on TG4 every second night if you don't believe me.

    Also you don't have to spend time in prison to be a criminal. See a certain person above. ;)

    Actually he was done for smuggling drugs but got a suspended sentence, so he was in fact a proper crim.

    As for who was the coolest?

    Tookie Williams. Or so people would have you believe.

    He only did the gigs in prison. He was jailed a few times, but there is a big difference between jail and prison so technically Quazzie is right (I never thought I would utter those words)

    So he spent time in prison then. So technically Quazzie is wrong. :D

    And as Dragan pointed out, he was done for drug smuggling (even if they were prescription meds) so he was a criminal. So Quazzie was wrong in both posts.

    impersonating an actor hardly classes you as a criminal.

    Chopper Reid would be top of the list too - 'one in the skull, that's me boy'.

    Josef Mengele would be a bit of craic too. Just think, if he had gotten his way we wouldn't have to suffer any of these Israeli/Palestinian threads.

    Keifer! In all fairness, he drank and drove, but he did stop to save an old lady being beaten up..

    Wrongs and rights!
