A Mafia Fugitive Was Caught Because He Started a YouTube Cooking Channel

Imagine the excitement of building a following on YouTube and discovering that you can support yourself by being a YouTuber. After all, there are those who are wealthy. Mr. Beast reportedly earned $54 million in 2021. Even Marc Feren Claude Biart, who has good reason to keep off camera, would be seduced by it.

Former gangster Biart has been evading capture since 2014. However, the man also loved to cook. So much so that he launched his own cooking channel on YouTube. He avoided appearing on camera because, as a runaway from justice, he knew on some level that it was bad. The issue was that none of his recognizable tattoos were covered up; they were all visible. He was detained in the Dominican Republic and sent back to Italy for extradition.
