1. Sixteen thief got rich by trading art

The desire for beauty showed at Lawrence McCall from an early age. As a teenager, he often skipped school, preferring to wander through museums and exhibitions. He could stand in front of the masterpieces of world art for several hours a day. One of the paintings before the boy fell to his liking, he decided to find a way entirely to her not to leave - that is a steal. And stole.

Then he just fell back in one picture. Then he kindled a passion for the third. In the end, Lawrence has accumulated more than twenty paintings, the total cost of more than 300 thousand dollars.

How he managed to crank such complex cases in such a tender age? Very simple. He shot a picture from the wall and gently down from the window by a rope. Everything.

Plenty admired prey, McCall decided that it's time to earn extra money. The fact that the stolen painting can not pass into the first commission store, any child knows. Therefore, our teenager rang in New York, Sotheby's auction administrators and asked if he could put up for auction a few pictures. And then he received an affirmative answer.

After receiving the money (more than 300 thousand dollars!) McCall in sixteen years has got a luxury apartment in Philadelphia, bought a green "Jaguar" and dodger jewels.

Only three years later, when Lawrence was nineteen, valiant officers RVF could still calculate the arrest of the young offender. Despite the fact that the list of his "deeds" at that time was so long that they could wrap the earth, no one could prove that the painting was stolen McCall. The only thing he managed to nail - transportation and shipment of stolen goods. But these crimes are pulled in a total of 15 years in prison, of which McCall served only three.



2. Fifteen cheater comes to grips with the law and win

Laws, for which there is a stock exchange, amenable to logical analysis rather badly. For the most part, rely on the advice of those newcomers who seems to them the largest and most experienced "sharks" in this vast sea.

And most experts receive royalties is not crazy for being versed in something better than others. You can blurt first came to mind a guess, but with the absolute certainty that no one shadow of doubt did not arise - the man knows what he is talking about.

Jonathan Lebed, with the blessing of parents began playing the market with thirteen years. But, instead, to comprehend the subtleties and nuances of this case, it's quickly open hundreds of fake accounts on sites like Yahoo, E * Trade, and overwhelmed visitors of the website of the Council that in some of the newly emerging securities they must urgently invest Money.

The idea was quite simple: he bought worthless paper for negligible cost, then dispatched throughout your spam and waited for people to follow his advice. And the people obediently "was conducted" - who also come to mind that people will lie for their own benefit?

After a few gullible idiots started feverishly buying recommended swans stock prices have jumped dramatically, and our hero, quietly sold them with a fabulous profit. For example, he bought shares of the company Firetector, paying for 2, $ 45 on each. After that he sent the message, which said that the paper is about to rise in price of at least $ 20. Naive people believe a stranger from the Internet, and their credulity swans brought a net profit of 19 thousand dollars.

After five months, the accumulated Quinoa something around 800 thousand dollars. By this time he had become interested in the SEC (which deals with compliance with laws and regulations of the Exchange and the financial market and protect investors from fraud). So 15-year-old Jonathan Lebed became the youngest person to have ever appeared before a court on charges of stock fraud.

But our hero was not so simple. Instead of blush, sniff and mutter under his breath promises like "I will not do it anymore", Lebedev went on the offensive. Father accused terribly irritated by the fact that some Commission dared to accuse him "brilliant son," said his boy "all deserve it." The reasoning was as follows: "He did a great job. It is not known where loitering, smoked weed, did not drink and did not take off the wheels from cars like many of his peers. " At the last argument has been made a special accent - apparently her father Quinoa somewhere was well aware that much easier to steal the wheels.

The most amazing thing that argument will work. As a result, Quinoa is obliged to return 285,000 dollars, leaving 500 thousand on account of a teenager.

At this point it must be some kind of morality, but we probably will offer our readers bring it yourself.
