He simultaneously ran a significant criminal empire, and used his crimefighting role to remove rivals and launder the proceeds of his own crimes. Wild exploited a strong public demand for action during a major 18th-century crime wave in the absence of any effective police force in London. As a powerful gang-leader himself, he became a master manipulator of legal systems, collecting the rewards offered for valuables which he had stolen himself, bribing prison guards to release his colleagues, and blackmailing any who crossed him.

Wild was responsible for the arrest and execution of Jack Sheppard, a petty thief and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
