The Hierarchy of Criminality
Level 1 Ground/ Base).
Benefit scrounger/ Charity collection thief/
pick pocket.
Burns through money. They have no pot to piss in.
Not loyal! They would turn off their pals
life support to charge their iPhone.
Level 2.
Mugger
Keeps doing it as has no money
and spends everything he nicks immediately.
Sofa surfer and very good with the daytime TV questions at the pub quiz,
commits crime when, and only truly when, they have nothing. Will also turn you
over at the drop of a hat. No Loyalty.
Level 3.
Burglar
If the job is planned and targeted
then chances are they already know how they will fence the stolen goods and
they will sell at close to the value or, dependent upon if stolen to order,
will have high net worth as they are stealing something that is already sold.
There are two different burglary
routes: One is Street level, shops and Houses, the second is the Country Life
set, stately homes, art galleries, Safe deposit boxes. These structured Burglars/ robbers have high
net worth. They search Country Life and
see that ‘Lord Tosspot of Gloucester has a daughter called Lady Jemima getting
married to a chinless wonder on June 12th at the local cathedral
followed by a reception at the local baronial hall’ and will use Google Earth
to plan a way to break in when the stately home is empty and everyone is
getting plastered at the reception. My
Uncle was a country house Burglar and worked on occasion with Peter Scott the
Mayfair Human Fly! Oh how they would
have loved Google Earth!!
Other burglars are opportunists
which is a very dangerous route. If they haven’t squirrelled their spoils away
already they will find a fraudster inside to assist someone outside to do so,
sharpish.
Level 4.
Drugs
Importer/ supplier is the top of
the drugs game.. Next step down is the dealer. They will do more dealing in the
nick than outside.
Level 5
Robber
Armed robbers are thought to be the
top dogs by the herd on the landings because they use guns and violence and goodnight to anyone who gets inbetween
them and the target. They are classed
and revered as brave because they could be shot and killed by armed police if
they have not left the area immediately.
The real top of the pile…..is…
Level 6.
The TOP of the Pyramid:
The Fraudster, Money Launderer, Con artist and...Offshore Financial Expert.
The cream of the crop, because, you will never have
heard of them!.
They never kick off, never show out or stand out because they can steal when you are sleeping. They can manipulate you to just hand over your cash and make you think they have done you a favour. They can take your money and make it disappear into scores of overseas offshore accounts that have a ‘flee clause’ attached meaning anyone looking for it will make it immediately transfer somewhere else at lightning speed. You very rarely see the good ones in a B category prison for long. They will be shipped out to a D category for non violent crims before most others can put their prison uniform on for the first time. They can come and go as they please in an open prison. They go out to work (at their own or a close friends ‘business’) and go home at weekends and at Christmas. These guys would never EVER tell anyone where they live, or how much they are worth. They don’t brag, they don’t have pictures of their wives or girlfriends on their cell walls and they certainly DO NOT have photographs of their houses on the cell walls. They don't look for admiration as it turns eventually to envy! That’s an open invitation for all the burglars in the B category nick to pay a visit or for someone who’s seen the wife/ girlfriend or family pic on the cell wall to point them out on a visit and get them followed home.
The nearer you get to the top of
the pyramid, you stop talking to everyone else. No details, no numbers, just a
nod, maybe a good morning. You can watch
them from above. That’s what you
notice. Lower base levels, chancers, all
clinging on for grim death, reaching out for a hand out or a leg up. Pathetic.
You have nothing to prove. You don’t need admiration or respect. They don’t pay the bills. You can’t by
anything with admiration. People at the
top of the pyramid, or near the summit, know there are grasses all around. Even on social media like Facebook, Instagram
and Twitter, or X as it is now. And not
only grasses but police, hiding behind a fake identity who suddenly wants to be
your friend. “Your post really resonated
with me!” or a fake profile of a girl who ‘likes you’. She is most likely a copper, probably not even
female, just a scroat in uniform looking for a fast track promotion.
The ones at the top of the
Pyramid know that the levels below all work independently in their chosen
career paths but…all of those below the top want to do business with the elite
at the top of the pyramid, and they would do so at the drop of a hat.
The top of the pyramid work in
silence. They sometimes work alone. More often they work with the same group.
