Bobby Cummines on Being a Teen Bank Robber, Prison with Terrorists, Triads & Mafia (Flashback)

In this full-length interview, legendary British gangster Bobby Cummines shares the gritty details of his hard-nosed upbringing in an Irish family in South London. The 70-year-old talks about what it was like to grow up poor and his evolution as a criminal, gangster, and businessman on the black market. As the discussion unfolds, Cummines sheds light on the criminal affairs of his younger days, such as robbing banks, forming a heist firm, and stealing jewelry, all while having good manners, feeding his people, and maintaining a "front" to avoid legal trouble. Nevertheless, his criminal activity eventually caught up to Cummines and landed him in a maximum-security prison that was built for terrorists. Cummines details what his life was like behind bars, from the security measures that were taken to the culture amongst inmates. As the conversation reaches its conclusion, Cummines talks about his run-ins with the Chinese mob, handling grenades, learning how to maneuver the cops, and nearly getting assassinated three times. He also talks about the success of his book, "I'm Not a Gangster," and why he was banned from America and Australia.
