Bank Robber - Domingo Reed

RAPHAEL ROWE
About this episode

Reed Domingo is a charming man with an unbelievable story. Struggling to pay for the expensive costs of American IVF treatments, he found himself in debt to the tune of $250,000. When the situation became unbearable, Reed turned to bank robbery as a last resort, even going so far as to carry cyanide capsules in case he was ever caught.

Having worked in a bank and undergone extensive training on how to handle robberies, Reed knew exactly how to exploit the system during his lunch breaks, walking away with tens of thousands of dollars each time. From a privileged background to resorting to desperate measures, Reed was determined to relieve himself and his family of the financial burdens that came with trying to have a child.

Eventually, the FBI caught up with Reed, and he was arrested. In this episode, you'll hear all about how it happened and what followed. Reed's story is truly one of a kind, and he now lives a completely different life.

Despite the shocking nature of his past, Reed has since dedicated his life to helping former convicts become better people. We appreciate him taking the time to share his story with us, and we hope you'll leave your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you for listening!
