(And even if it was, he&#8217;d steal it anyway.) Worth and an array of ne&#8217;er-do-wells were as innovative as they were crooked, tunneling their way into bank vaults from adjacent building basements, setting up shape-shifting illegal gambling dens and slipping into new countries and identities when things got too hot.<\/p>\n<p><b>Subscribe to Dirty Money on Apple | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Play<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Worth was pursued across multiple continents by the Pinkerton detective agency (which would one day become the Secret Service) and he cemented his status as one of the greatest thieves in history when he stole the incredibly famous portrait of Georgiana Cavendish, The Duchess of Devonshire, right off the wall of a London gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Worth held onto the pilfered portrait for years, chauffeuring it around the world in the false bottom of a luggage trunk. Some say he was waiting for the right moment to sell it, others believe he fell in love with the Duchess&#8217;s beguiling image and didn&#8217;t want to let go.<\/p>\n<p>So what became of the art thief and his prized score?
