Biggest Heist Ever

Seriously though, you don't learn ANYTHING beyond some character back story. Not how they did it, not of they had outside help from foreign countries, no intrigue, nothing. The big fbi/cia guys who actually put the whole thing together & made the arrest are like cardboard; no personality, no excitement; dry as toast. Even the "friends" & coworkers know nothing about them, no juicy tidbits. All relationships were superficial at best. The subjects weren't shown to have lived a ridiculously lavish wasteful life. The producers & directors stole 90min of my life to say yep, they plead guilty. Don't waste your time.

• Forget bank vaults; this was a cyber heist executed with Hollywood-level precision:
• AI-powered hacking that bypassed "unbreakable" firewalls
• Inside operatives who exploited blind spots in security
• A global money maze that left investigators chasing ghosts
• The thieves' genius exit strategy involving:
• Cryptocurrency dead drops
• Fake identities crafted by deepfake tech
• A trail that literally vanished into the dark web
• How Interpol and ethical hackers raced against time as the stolen funds disappeared in real-time

Ok so it's a bitcoin film documentary and bitcoin is a digital term of currency and its value is questionable at best. I am not a fan of bitcoin.

I'm also confused as of how it is the 'Biggest Heist Ever' when it is clearly not. It's got some nice production and visuals but the characters involved are highly-pretentious and irritating and it's a very flat film.

I actually fell asleep 2/3rd's of-the-way-through. It is not entertaining. According to the article from the Independent it was not even the biggest digital heist of all-time.

Kids don't get greedy; be honest and work to the best ability you can. This is not the answer.

"Biggest Heist Ever" (12/6/24, 80-min, Netflix) is yet another hurry-up, poorly done Netflix production. This could've and should've been an awesome, highly anticipated exposé but instead it's a high-school level examination of Heather's cringe "RazzleKhan" alter-ego. Razzle-con anyone? This documentary doesn't even detail the actual heist! Oh, there are allusions to it, there's discussion, but it's all circumstantial. There was no detailing of how they did it, the timeline, you know, normal investigative reporting. Pitiful. And worse, towards the end because no one could believe these two social mutants could scheme to pull this off, is that there's some conjecture that Ilya's father, Eugene, was involved but there's no supporting investigation for it! Candidate for worst documentary of 2024.

The documentary was interesting but I was so distracted, to the point of disgust, by how cringey and obnoxious the main characters were, Heather especially. I was in horrified awe the whole time and it was genuinely hard to concentrate on the story. I'm just...there are no words. Woof.

The doc itself was well done, and everyone featured aside from Heather and Dutch helped build and explain the story. But my God, it's hard to get past the "rap" and grating voice and, well, everything.

Given all of the above, yes, it is indeed very hard to believe that these two individuals were responsible for any sophisticated events, let alone a large scale heist. But if their morals are as askew as their self awareness, then I do actually see how it could be possible.
