From 'Kayak Killer' Angelika Graswald to cult leader Charles Manson, A&E True Crime looks at infamous criminals who profited in some way from their misdeeds, showing that sometimes crime does indeed pay.

The December 11, 1978 Lufthansa heist was the most infamous caper in U.S. history. At New York's JFK airport, associates of the Lucchese crime family netted nearly $6 million (or $22.5 million today) in cash and jewels; almost none of the take was recovered, and only one person served time. But a lot of people directly involved with the crime ended up dead.
