Attila Ambrus clings to a train connector, fleeing Romanian dictatorship in the hopes of a life of freedom in post-Soviet Hungary. What actually awaits is a life of bank robbery, governmental conspiracy, and some of the worst hockey ever played. Imagine if "Catch Me If You Can" was really, really dumb.
Welcome to a true crime/sports podcast about the most ludicrous heists in history, perpetrated by the drunkest goalie to ever lace up skates.
Attila Ambrus is in a cage. At long last, it's time for the Trial of the Whiskey Robber.
