On a sweltering July evening in 1962, the usually impenetrable vaults of Bache Co, a leading Wall Street brokerage house, were breached in a daring heist that left the financial world reeling. Thieves made off with a staggering $1 million in negotiable stock certificates, valued at least $1,370,475. The brazen crime sent shockwaves through the high-stakes world of high finance, with the FBI, Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan’s office, and Bache Co itself scrambling to unravel the tangled threads of the case.
