The true story of how a middle-class Black girl from Minneapolis became
one of the single biggest threats to the United States banking system.
Tanya Smith fancied herself a folk hero, a kind of Robin Hood, using
her powers of persuasion to buck the system and help the poor and needy.
It started innocently enough, with calls to celebrities' houses with
her teenage twin sister. Soon, Tanya realised she could convince
utility companies to amend the balances of her friends and neighbours,
clearing their overdue electricity bills with a single phone call.
Eventually, as she tested the limits and realized she could get past
any gatekeeper, she began to understand the power of money and what it
could do.
Over the years, Tanya 'confiscated' some $40 million in cash and
commodities from US banks, using hacked wire transfers. It didn't take
long before the FBI was on her tail. But when interviewing her, they
made clear that they were using her to get to the person actually
running things - clearly, she wasn't smart enough to do this on her own
(Black people she was told, rob people, they don't hack computers).
Thus began a cat and mouse game with the authorities that would drive
her to unthinkable limits, breaking the hearts of her parents and
putting Tanya's life in jeopardy before finally sending her to Federal
prison (where she escaped twice) with the longest sentence ever given
for a white-collar crime.
