13 Millionaire criminals who bought their freedom… You’ll be surprised to see this! (With Pictures)

11. Nicky Barnes

Barnes is worth over $100 million and is also known as Mr. Untouchable. In the 1970s, Barnes had a large drug operation that extended from New York to Canada. There were many individuals who worked under him at different levels including lieutenants, distributors and street dealers.

His name Mr. Untouchable, was derived due to his ability to avoid a number of arrests and criminal charges. At one point, Barnes was caught on surveillance doing a high-speed chase with police for the simple purpose of getting underneath their skin. Eventually, he was arrested and was initially sentenced to life in prison. However, after he agreed to become an informant, his life sentence was reversed and he was released from prison in 1998.
