  • As a young man in Glasgows underworld, Ian Blink MacDonald fought and robbed his way to the top, developing a taste for the high life along the way. His notoriety earned him an offer of work from Scotlands most feared gangster, Arthur Thompson, but MacDonald had other plans to finance a new life in Spain with a high-risk bank robbery worth over 6 million pounds But the job went badly wrong, and MacDonald was jailed for 16 years.

    I like Ian blink McDonald’s attitude in the way he said spending money like he wouldn’t be here to spend it tomorrow he absolutely lived it to the fullest in case he did get caught with the police or got killed during any his criminal activities blink mcdonald is a very interesting guy who has taken a lot of risks and has had attempts on his life and he is still here to tell the story well done Ian you are an inspiration to the criminal world I hope you make the millions you deserve to one day mate James I would also like to say a special thanks to you also for having Ian on your podcast show again keep them coming James you are the only podcaster I watch cause you are interviewing most of our own criminals and gangsters that tell you exactly how it was without any bullshit and you are so relaxed around those guys you get a great big thumbs up from me and I think you know by now I am one of you podcast followers stick in there big man from mr Colin Corcoran high street royal mile edinburgh👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Eugene, Oregon.
    I understood every word, most of the local colloquialisms.
    Then, I had the brilliant idea to re-watch it... with captions.
    Well, that was a bad idea.
    With captions, I may as well toss random words into a blender...
    .
    Makes me seriously doubt the veracity of other captioned videos.
