In a cheering sign that crime may not always pay – even in Hungary – almost world-famous Hungarian bank robber Attila Ambrus, better known as “Whisky Robber,” is reported to be opening a ceramics exhibition next month. According to Helyi Téma, the man whom many once thought would be played by Johnny Depp in a Hollywood portrayal of his life, is now spending seven hours a day in an underground prison workshop making ceramic planters and cups. The good news for viszkis is that his hard work in the arts and crafts studio and other wholesome prison behavior mean he is likely to be out of prison in January 2012, four years before he was originally scheduled to be sprung. The bad news for him – and for Julian Rubinstein, his tireless / shameless American biographer / apologist / promoter – is that at this rate, no one is likely to give a shit.

That dude is just so way out cool, sad, sexy and surpricing…
What’s his “art”, feed us pics, im sure its 1500% ridiculous in a good
way, all clay is… Oh my gawd! How long he’s been inside, like 12
years…. poor dude, make him mayor of 5 & 6th districts!
Trust me, Attila Ambrus will be befriended, fondled, massaged and pampered by your nations greatest porn stars, film stars, bankers, politicians and general population. You have to understand that “greatness” doesn’t only stem from being able to write great poetry or being a priest in a church. Just look at all the bastards who have raped the world in unseen ways who are able to hide and thrive in the underground. Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, oil, nuclear materials, weapons?? Hell, what did this guy do compared to them? He gave us a GREAT story. I’m sure you will agree with me that the money he stole from the banks shouldn’t even be considered to be money because 99% of the world doesn’t even know about your government stamp called the “Forint”. This is a currency which LITERALLY isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Ambrus will become a mayor of a town somewhere or possibly Budapest. Don’t bet against it…
If John Bobbit and Joey Buttafuoco can become famous, anyone can. This bank robber guy is apparently getting ready for his new life as a celebrity. He spends way too much time in front of the mirror, grooming his funny looking facial hair. Normal folks grow beard because they are tired of shaving, not to make it even more complicated.
