If know one knows who he is. His America's biggest jewel thief. He has a load of great prison stories and I think he would do well on the PKA podcast. Iv added a link to his YouTube Channel down below

Look, I know not everyone is a huge fan if the prison talk. But I think that he would be a great guest. He’s an ex-convict who has been through everything the legal system can throw at you, and works as a paralegal to help convicts currently being abused by the legal system. On top if all of that he used to be huge which could feed into a bit of fitness talk as well (another thing I like but not everybody does). Overall he is a guy with a lot of great stories to tell and knowledge to drop. Lets get him on.
I remember in a video Lar talked about how good in shape he was and his burpee workout in prison. I can't seem to find the video. Does anyone have the video or does someone maybe have the answer?
Thanks.

A while ago my buddy Eric and I went to the library and saw LAWTON! Eric, being a huge LAWTON fan, asked Larry (Lawton) for his autograph. Larry was extremely nice and even signed a piece of paper. Then, out of nowhere, he pulled out a book from a nearby bookshelf, put the piece of paper in it, closed it, put it back in a random spot, and then left. After Larry put the book back on the shelf he walked through a doorway and then blocked the doorway with the previously mentioned bookshelf. Having no way of leaving, Eric and I practically tore the place apart looking for that autograph. And to this day, we still don’t know.
I've seen this guest request before, but wanted to see if u/RealMenTalkShit can help make this happen.
The guy has a YouTube channel with ~1.25 million subscribers and has some crazy stories about the robberies themselves and his time in prison. He now does motivational speaking and helps educate at-risk youths.
I think he is A) attainable for PKA and B) would make a top tier show.
Ex jewel thief with 1 million subscribers on youtube, did 12 years in prison, has extremely interesting life stories & has been dabbling in gaming recently.
How many likes this gets is one signature towards the cause
I’ve been watching an ex monster Youtuber by the name of Larry Lawton. One time he told a story about how he put a Sterno under the gas tank of a car on top of a cinder block and lit it, causing the car to blow up. He said that, “Oh oh you can’t get away with it today” which I hesitate to believe because he went on about some bs thing about them being able to track the store it’s from before saying fingerprints.
My question is would the explosion from directly under a gas tank destroy fingerprints on a sterno?
So quick question, is this the official Reddit for Larry Lawton? I would like to join his “am I the asshole” stories if he does one again
He originally made a video reviewing heists in movies for vanity fair but has since made his own channel where he reviews heists in gta and other movies. He also tells his entire life story on his channel and this is where the real bread is. He talks about being a Jewel thief getting caught and being in prison. I honestly think the prison stories are the best. Full of rape, torture, beatings, chankings, male prisoners dressed as women and shampoo bottles turned into water guns filled with poo and pee.
Just imagine how fun a well made AAA video game based off of the life of Larry Lawton would be. Covering every thing from his first robery to his release from prison. I think that is a million dollar game idea. Somebody should really make that happen.
He’s old, but he’s got some great stories to tell. He also was in prison for 12 years so that would be an interesting topic.
