Notes:
Sven Larsen credited as research help for this segment; Adam Worth (1844-1902) is an actual historical figure and is reputed to be Arthur Conan Doyle's inspiration for Professor Moriarty; One of the last of the gentlemen thieves, he is probably most well known for stealing Gainsborough's painting "The Duchess of Devonshire" which he personally kept for 25 years before discreetly returning it to the Pinkertons; For more reading on the subject, please see "The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth Master Thief" by Ben Macintyre.
