The Real Life Robin Hood Stole 800 KGs of Gold | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers

- “Stealing from the ultra-rich is not a sin,” says the infamous thief Vincenzo Pipino who stole gold, art and jewels worth millions and shared his profits with the poor.
Now retired, he confesses all.
PLEASE NOTE EDIT:
There's an error in the subtitles at 00:18:
“I think I have stolen 7-8 tons of gold in my life.”
The correct subtitles should be:
“I think I have stolen 700-800 kilograms of gold in my life.”

@@lorenzocaliri spero che abbia colto la citazione
For English people
I'm Italian so I will literally translate
In the beginning he doesn't say "I've never pushed someone" but "I've never pushed a person I robbed"
Thank you :)
Cool
Thank You. For this mans words to be represented properly absolutely matters. Grazie.
“No, the painting stole me” I love it
He is the representation of the meme "professionals have standards"
Be polite
Be efficient
Stealing with honest. A true gentleman.
I love the tf2 community
The title is wrong.
The guy says he stole “7-8 quintali”, which means 7-8 hundred Kg, not 7-8 thousand kg (tons).
Americans can't do metric lol
1000kg is 1ton my brother
@@CoverXspeedrun yeah but the conmen said quintali which is 100kg
700 800 kg

"Quintale" is 100kg, not a ton
I did not know that thank you

We need a documentary of this incredible man
He is certainly getting his moneys worth out of those trousers.
Why
@@HassanKhan-vt6zb Is that a question?
@@HassanKhan-vt6zb because he was pictured wearing them decades apart. doubt its the same pair but the jokes fucking funny
@@leonrowe5445 Merci
Yup
Reminds me of a spanish guy who went to numerous banks for asking a loan to start his company. He had a speech and business plan and all.
He got 4 or 5 different loans from 4 or 5 differents banks. I believe it was something like 30 000 or 50 000 euros in total.
He went on and gave it all to a charity organisation who was feeding the poor and the homeless.
Then he went to jail XD
Good boy
@@AgenteET786 Yes, I'm spanish. I can confirm that. You're right. The guy appears in some TV shows
@@TutorialesHere como se llama el pana ?
@@TutorialesHere what is his name?
incredible nobel. but sadly, even distributing into charity organisations will not stop keep vile people of getting their slice of it. and when charity is a business for some just to get money, we know how sad this world is.
Pipino didnt even steal. He just took what Pipino thought was decent enough. Now i dont agree to steal Art but i can never get enough of guys like him. You can tell he really tries to speak out on injustice but as a thief feels. Yet he never intended to be, he really felt like he had that regressive experience of returning to poverty as a reason. Pipino felt threatened. It really is sad. I think he just needs someone to speak to and to possibly petition injustices with community groups. Activism takes a place. Requiaste en pace , fraterno mio
Can someone make a biopic of this guy's life? He's really interesting.
He's a theiving bastard, thee end.
Ghost572 lol everyone is a thief just look hard enough
@@Ghost572 You accidentally misspelled hero**
Yessssss. Please.
I'm italian and never heard of this guy nor have my friends. I'm starting to believe vice take as granted whatever a random person they found around told them lol specially after that "aNonImOuS" leader" interview
I love love love love him and he couldn't be more correct - robbing those who have stolen their fortunes from the cruel treatment of others and generational wealth etc is totally fine with me.
MAN I GOT INCREDIBLE RESPECT FOR THIS GUY
yep. ditto

@@deaththreats2070 a good thief though. An honest, just thief
i hope someone steals from you one day then ;)
Mr. Pipino is a hero who did absolutely nothing wrong!
I have so much respect for this man. His "crimes" never hurt anyone, but they helped thousands. Thank you, sir. Your actions increased the total amount of good in the world. ✊🏼
This man is a thief who stole money from hard working people.
@@endingphoenix2526 No, this man took money back from all of the greedy thieves who used their exclusive power over the lives of others to manipulate and control them, all while avoiding any actual hard work for themselves. They just got others to do everything for them, while they got to keep all of the reward for gambling with their livelihoods.
He is a hero. Stealing from thieves is not theft. It is justice. Exploiting the desperate situations of others because of a vast difference in relative wealth is theft.
Anyone who thinks this guy did anything wrong is exactly what is wrong with the world. It blows my mind how blind they can be to the evils of the sysrem.
The government doesn't decide what is right or wrong. "Crime" is not wrong just because it is crime. There has to be actual reasons for why it is wrong, and it always depends on the situation. Stealing from the poor is wrong. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor that they exploit for profit is fine and good. This should be obvious to anyone with a brain, but so many people just don't understand how it works. They haven't thought about it very deeply.
"I have never in my life even pushed someone, not even with a finger."
*30 seconds later*
"I got up and pushed him to the floor, 'collect it yourself.'"
A conman is required to lie ....
It's in the job description
He meant when he stole from people. Context is everything. And obviously this is a translation. He isn't speaking English and translations aren't perfect.
Have we not all gotten into fights when we were children? I think he meant he didn’t intentionally hurt people in his criminal career
@@cocacola2you no.. not exactly.
There are bullies and those that get bullied when you are a kid....
@@cocacola2you No, not everyone gets into fights when they're kids. Your life experience isn't everyones life experience.
Refering to his career as a criminal: "I have never resorted to violence"
Genius commenters: "uuuuh but what about when you were a child bro?"
Right. These people have the comprehension skills of a squirrel
@@jarrettmaltry6305 Can confirm I am a squirrel but, I am very intelligent for a squirrel.
they should make a netflix serial about his life it would be cool af

A thief with a conscience, how wonderful, if only there were more like him, the world would have been a better place.
But on the contrary, i am sure every thief would have a good reason for why they steal.
@Saudi King Volintine Ander of Arabia All thieves are minorities. That's why they are bad.
Now and days people steal mostly for drugs, at least in the US
@@trumpsupporter4206 no they're not lol
What do you have to say about the conscience of unfair and unequal wealth distribution? Who are the real thieves?
Unfortunately today many some tied just stole for money.
And many time they don't have any moral compass
It would be cool to interview Rosmah Mansor the ex Malaysian Prime Minister's wife who stole millions from Malaysians to buy her birkin bags and purse
Lol
@@jamesson1154 😉
"Disorder enforcement" lmao
5 seconds in, I like this man already
and he never disappointed after. My experience was similiar.
This man escaped from Bochuz prison in Switzerland, a maximum security jail. All the newspapers talked about it. 47 years later, he returned in a documentay to retrace how he managed to escape. He was afraid that they would put him back in the cell and saw how much respect the prison police treated him. They even had a small internal museum with the objects used for escape. Finally he left and they all greeted him as if he had been a hero.
Smooth Criminal.
He spent over two decades in prison, mate, that's not too smooth.
Mr. Anonymous 🗣🗣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like the master thief character from oceans 12 is loosely based on this guy 😂
Underrated comment
God bless this man. If wgat he said is true (and I've no reason to believe otherwise), he is a good guy. I hope the people font forget him in his senior years of he needs help. Make sure this man is fed, sheltered ,clothed sufficiently as he deserves to be taken care of for the rest of his days. All the best to him.
Lately Vice videos have been inspiring me to do my thing , ALL legal of course
Great interview with a great man!
“I’ve never pushed someone, not even with a finger”
Next sentence:
“So then I pushed him to the ground”
bro I lost my s*** when I heard that
Translation error?
He means when he was in crime. At that time he was a child
Doesn’t make what he did any better. Stealing is wrong whether is from wal mart or mom and pop shop
@@TKUA11 If I make an immoral profit by selling a broke product to millions of people, I am a good guy. If I steal an apple while I am starving, I am a dangerous criminal. Now you tell me, where do you draw the line.
Rispetto per quest’uomo che ha un cuore grande
I’d struggle stealing 7kg of something, never mind 7 tons.
700kg he says
As an *italian* :
I don't know this man and his history but keep in mind that Italians are really good at coming up with heartbreaking stories about poverty and necessities.
I'm not stating anything but that's how mafia works here: you might not see them but they are real and inherent in all classes of the society.
I'm just taking it out because my country has an exceptional history and great potential but it is hindered by ignorance, indifference and even corruption at many levels.
Useless comment, the one told by vice is a true story, but I don't expect much from those who pretend to invent fake things like you without even going to google.
@@antdele99
?
@@AgenteET786 what?
@@antdele99
Who invented fake things?
I admire his honestly and humbleness now 😌
This kind of stuff is what movie's that say "Based on a true story" is all about. I would love to see one based on this man's stories!
I wish for this man to be born again
I imagine he's in alignment and in sync with spirit. So beautiful...huh...
Qui si tasta il limite tra l'eticanente giusto e il sottrarre beni al prossimo, ovviamente supporto la sua lotta
we need more people like him
Honor among thieves
That is a lost art....
I really wish more people were like him in his thought of taking care of the poor and needy. I grew up very poor and hungry, used to steal lunches at my school that were packed lunches because I was hungry. It isn't a good feeling to have to steal food when your hungry. Food should be something that everyone can access. Thanks for sharing vice♡
Then people act surprised why crime still is alive. People are hurt and filled with tons of emotions. They need help with situations that were handed to them without them even having a choice. It’s a sad world we love in. And people continue to look to the stars and by pass the struggling people in their our towns or cities.
What a guy, much respect.
ditto
I tend to see these types of Robin Hood characters around the world and it truly is amazing. My question is where are Americans like this?
maybe jail?
@@libelulaojo maybe is right
"I have never in my life pushed anyone, not even with a finger"...40 seconds later ..."I got up and pushed him to the floor". 🙄
Hahahah... 🤔 thought the same
I think he meant during his criminal career.
@@jakemitchell7786 Yeah, that's cause he probably "pulled" it from their wallets instead
If you payed attention and engaged in the video you'd realize it's in the context of him when he grew up and became a professional criminal.
Im sure he is very good at weaving a story to his perspective as needed.
Sir you didnt steal if you fed people... you gave life where governments failed its people... you sir are a real hero, a Robin Hood of modern times... bless you and your beliefs...
Great story! It would be nice such videos to be longer, more like a short documentary.
Stealing? I call it liberating 🤘
I'm an American and at least am somewhat rare as a white native born citizen in that I speak Spanish fluently as well as English. But I barely speak more than conversational, tourist Italian... my point is even having an infantile understanding of Italian I can tell the translations in the subtitles were really off in certain parts...
Thank You, because this was mentioned once before and I wouldn't have known any other way. It really makes me wonder... In the above comments people keep mentioning that Pepino says he never lays a finger on anyone, but shortly there after talks about pushing someone (I think the push took place when he was a kid... if I remember right. I think vice should be good enough to get accurate translations of somebody like this. It's rude to misrepresent the words of others, and this guy deserves a lot of respect, no less.
Ahh finally good content
My respect to this guy 🙌🏻
ditto
A Gentlemens Gentleman.
Omg this was amazing
I am absolutely in love with this man God bless him ❤️
Thief? More like hero. How can the ultra rich accept structural violence like poverty and job insecurity but call this nice older gentleman with a cool hobby a criminal? Nice work comrade.
I need a movie of this man
3:28 he’s actually an Escape From Tarkov Scav Bot
Mi piace il tuo pensiero e come parli 👍🏻
Stealing with honesty. - A honest man
I really like the littel crime docs please keep them coming
Great voice.
Il più real della scena Italia fr
There should be a 30 minutes documentary about this man.
Why not just stream his every waking moment?
David Yhap 🗣🗣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a legend. This should be the goal of rich people, to help the poor ones out, and not to be rich just for the purpose of being rich and being used for some things you don't really want or need. If you are rich or poor, help other people, the help doesn't have to be of financial or material matter, sometimes being there for someone when they need you the most is worth more than all the gold and jewelry in this world.
Who did you help
C'è qualche italiano?
He’s wearing the same pants now as he was in that old picture of him
Truly a great Guy
"Standing ovation, Sir."
"Money is from the devil"

8 tonnes of gold at today’s prices: $585,857,00 USD (approx)
He is a hero.
He was a good boi
being Italian and being able to understand everything he says😍
Next you have to interview Dani el rojo from spain he was a bank robber, now he has a youtube channel and a new life
Didn’t know Robin Hood was actually Italian
