CRIME: The Great Maple Syrup Heist featuring Ashley & Ricky from Crime Salad

from Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes · host Crime House

In 2011 and 2012, a small crew of men systematically drained nearly $19 million worth of maple syrup from the world's only strategic reserve, barrel by barrel, night by night, and replaced it with water. Vanessa Richardson of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes is joined by Ashley and Ricky from Crime Salad to trace how a government-sanctioned monopoly, a decade-long grudge, and almost no warehouse security made the most audacious commodity theft in Canadian history possible. No guns, no masks. Just forklifts, burner phones, and a black market network stretching from rural Québec to buyers in New England.Head over to our Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ConspiracytheoriescultscrimesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes to never miss a case!
