Capture

[edit]

How did the robbers get caught? Was the first arrest for the Brinks Robbery or something else? Spec O'keefe turned states evidence and ratted out the group. §Richard Maffie2603:9000:BA86:4800:71DC:E730:BAB6:CCBD (talk) 23:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Adolph Maffie[reply]

Vandalism

[edit]

I reverted the article to non-vandalized version. None of the later editors bothered to check where the half of the article had suddenly disappeared - Skysmith 08:35, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sentences

[edit]

Article seems to indicate that the robbers actually served their life sentences. The film notes that all of those sentenced to life were released "and returned to live comfortable lives in Boston". I'll find out more details about release dates when I get the chance. Ellsworth (talk) 04:14, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Arrests

[edit]

The article says that all 11 were arrested, but it also says that one of them was dead by the time arrests were made...? Ericgoldman (talk) 02:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Title

[edit]

The TITLE of this page contains an erroneous apostrophe - Brinks is the name, it's not "Brink's," a possessive form. I don't know how to correct the title of an article. Suggest that someone should re-create the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.160.195 (talk) 13:38, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brink's was founded by Perry Brink, so Brinks would be the incorrect spelling. Company calls itself Brink's, both spellings appear common. MartinSFSA (talk) 09:45, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong plan

[edit]

The 'Plan' section has it all wrong. Different people made different claims, but MacGinnis did not plan the robbery - he was brought in to deal with things like getting rid of evidence - which he failed at.I believe Pino was the first one in the facility, and it was him who recruited guys to go in with him. There's a good book that gives the facts - I'll see if I can get hold of it again and make corrections. MarkinBoston (talk) 18:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC) The names a either wrong or misspelled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.220.209 (talk) 22:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC) The Brinks Job by Noel Behn is the most accurate. Behn worked with Tony Pino, Jazz Maffie and Sandy Richardson.§Richard Maffie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:BA86:4800:71DC:E730:BAB6:CCBD (talk) 23:12, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
