uncomfortable and nervous around. and david ghantt became very concerned for his own safety and he started to become very secretive as to where he was located. on the wiretap, fbi agents hear david ghantt pleading with kelly campbell to send more money. she says she will, but first she has to know where he is. and he says to her, cozumel, and we hear kelly ask him, cozu-who? and he says cozumel. and she says where is that? and the plan unhatches very quickly. we re picking up all these additional phone calls on how they re going to send someone out to kill him. realizing the same people ghantt put $17 million of trust in are going to kill him at own at any moment, the fbi tracks down and arrests david ghantt. he called out to me and said, please, tell me you re an fbi agent. david thought he was somebody that he wasn t, and david wanted to be somebody that he wasn t,
but david was still david, a big dreamer, thought he could pull off one of the greatest heists in the history of the country, but couldn t. the following morning, the fbi moves in and arrests the heist mastermind, steve chambers. they also arrest his wife, michelle, who has a surprise for the agents when they storm into her mansion. steve was already down on the ground being handcuffed by other agents, and michelle was still getting out of bed. at that time, michelle was naked, and that distraction actually caused kind of a danger for us, because right under her pillow, not steve s pillow, was a fully loaded .9-millimeter semiautomatic. also arrested, kelly campbell, the temptress of the plot, and more than 20 others, who helped chambers hide the money. the fbi did a very good job on this case. they prevented david ghantt from being killed. they were able to recover the vast majority of the money in a
