Who is the most badass nonfictional criminal?

There's Ned Kelly, for one. Made a suit of 'bulletproof armor' and went on a murderous rampage at the end of his long life of crime, being a 'bushranger' from age 16. Long, storied life that turned him into a folk hero, but his final battle with the police wearing armor made of plows is the most ridiculous part.

i thought the story of that guy, who stole a fuckload of money from a plane above the US, and then jumped from the plane with a parachute and was never seen again, was always pretty cool:
D. B. Cooper
Was about to post him. Even better was that he was very friendly and didn't harm anyone.

Step aside, make room for the only real life super villain worth mentioning: Joseph Konopka, Dr Chaos.

Konopka, who had been making about $50,000 at his job, wanted to enact some manner of a Dr. Doom-scale destruction spree, presumably out of boredom or just to prove he could. Recruiting a team of others online who then became known as The Realm of Chaos, which we have to admit sounds pretty awesome, Dr. Chaos used his Lex Luthoresque intellect and knowledge of computers to cause 28 power failures, disrupt radio and television broadcasts, shut down air traffic control, attack an ISP's computer system and counterfeit software. The group was also responsible for setting a number of fires and, at the time of his arrest in 2002, Dr. Chaos had been stockpiling cyanide in underground tunnels.

These two had made an impression on me. Just the way they act is like out of a movie
