The fact that he had been in prison since 1980; to find a whole new world in front of him after being released in 2017 and not succumb to all of it is a huge achievement in on itself.
Underrated comment
@@lk8235 2009 from 2019 isn't that much of a difference except there are more people on touchscreen phones.
I'm 64. My Dad called it GRIT!
Wasn't in jail from 1980 he was caught for a big score in 95 after smashing his get away car
How do you find the movie
I just met this guy at the store and he told me to watch this. I had no clue he was who he was. Good dude 💯
Yoo i wanna make a song about this man hook it up
@@geoffsmith6373 why u say that
@@geoffsmith6373 Just because someone did something bad long ago doesn't mean they didn't change. It's not like he was doing it to harm anybody he just needed money.
@@cleetusmcdonald6574 that is ur opinion his story is dope
@@donnadie1112 You're not making sense bud
Who saw this on their feed right after the video of the one in court?
Welcome to the KZhead rabbit hole haha
The algorithm is always watching
I was hoping he made his own youtube channel
Me
Haha nailed it
This guy should try singing what a wonderful world...
Thats why it was recognisable. Nice
Noice
Sachmo!
lmao his voice as i read this was perfect
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy is so genuine, he's no angel but he holds nothing back and tells you exactly who he is. Hope he's doing well and hope the world opens a door for him to be richer than he ever imagined.
Hello handsome man
The Boston Police Department's Bank Robbery task force tackled William Sequeira inside the Citizen's Bank on Boylston Street Wednesday afternoon 10/06/22. He has been arrested for an attempted heist in the Back Bay. 🙄 The only thing genuine about this guy is being a genuine scumbag.
Lmao he just got bagged for robbing more banks. Dudes a clown and a liar 🤡🤡🤡
The judge. I really like him. Fair and kind. And yo. He’s on KZhead lol props to him for getting into it at such an advanced age.
@@junkyswag5076 it’s much harder to get away with any type of robbery these days because there’s cameras everywhere
i read the title "Ben Affleck Played Me" as "Ben Affleck Tricked Me"
I thought that’s what they meant by the title to
yeah me too
Yeah, he was lying about it being about HIM, but i do believe he was the thief
Me too,
Lmfao
This guy would be a great voice actor in the gaming world. He has a natural awesome voice.
Yeah i can hear that as well
Actually it sounds like Arthur Morgan from rdr2
Bravo 6 going dark”
Fr!
I don’t even play video games…my husband does and I agree! I really love his voice!
Two things that struck me as he, openly, tells his story. One is that life ain't easy, and isn't that the truth the other one is to stay positive no matter what.
You should watch some of Larry Lawton’s videos on KZhead he was America’s biggest jewel thief and has now turned around his life and uses his life experience to help others
And the 3rd one is rob banks so you get played by ben afleck in a movie
@@looney9891 Haha
He still sounds proud of the many scores he pulled off.
Most do. It's not even about the job it's just what it is
I would be
Come off it
Stealing ain't easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it.
why not he's paid for them
He use to deliver produce at my old job he was a good guy but you could tell he had a past but he was always respectful. Always gave him a muffin and cup of coffee for free for the road.
Used to deliver to my hotel, always hilarious..
Sad he’s back in jail for robbin banks again
@@MrsAi84 no he’s not
@@shawnwillis767 Yes he is
it's good to see he's trying to change his life. He's a strong character but listening to him also make you realize he's tuff and i hope nobody is going to pull that trigger inside his head making all his past coming out again. i wish him all the best
Thank you Judge for making this 2nd Video i highly appreciate it, Love from India - TN - Chennai.
It always starts in childhood. Great to see this man was given a second chance in life and moreso that someone gave him the chance for a job. All people need is a chance!
You can tell that this man has a good heart! If he were to write a book about his scores & prison time, I would buy it immediately & so would everyone else!! Sending him much love from Tennessee!
He wouldn't see a cent of it though.
What a great story. Great in the sense that he is overcome and realized you know the bad things he did and he's trying to turn his life around and make a positive impact.
Hello handsome
nohe wentbacktoprison.Neverlearned
He was Honest and told it how it was....Who are we to judge from his situation as a child to what he did to who he is now. He can only judge himself and God will judge him in the end. I like his positive attitude and where he wants his future to go.... YOU SIR turned yourself around and hope you live a happy life CHEERS
It’s really powerful this came up in my feed. I’m from New England, I’m a recovering heroin addict, I started my life over December 13th 2016, and I also drive a truck to deliver food to supermarkets for a living. I’m rooting for him
Power to you buddy! Respect.
And I'm rooting for you..keep up the good work 💪ur story will inspire guys who are dealing with recovery
Keep doing good! Sadly he’s back in jail for robbing banks again
Portuguese American. 🇵🇹🇺🇸 God bless you William
Love this guy, Made some monumental mistakes, paid a high price for them and now turned his life around Kudos to you William.
I imagine others paid a higher price for his mistakes.
Nope,he's got caught again in Boston.
I live in Boston and just showed my new girlfriend the movie for the first time. She was amazed when I showed her this man in court for a ticket. Her jaw dropped. Sad part is we googled him, he went back to his old ways and is locked up again for more bank robberies. Wish he could have turned his life around, seemed like a genuine man.
Well looks Ben Affleck will have a sequel to his movie after all.
The town is based off of Anthony Shea, and the No name gang. Line up the events in the movie and what Anthony Shea did…
At least he has been open and honest with everybody and is being successful in life today!
Amazing life story. Always good to see people turning life into good choices. Love from Brazil ♥️🇧🇷
May god smile on this man and give home peace
Amen.
Much love willliam keep doing what u doing ...always remember to keep it 💯
William is passionate about life. Seems he robbed banks with all his heart and now working a proper job with all his heart.
That wife is a real one! 💯
Fast cash and danger.
Yep chicks dig that
His wife heard the wedding vow as, "Til debt do us part."
That was Amaaaazing...God deserves all the Glory & Praise in this story!!!! Ameeen!!🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Loved this video. I wish William all the luck in the world and may the rest of his live be extremely rewarding. I loved his honesty. I would like to see either a book about his life or a true crime in depth documentary.
All the best to William!👍 I wish him a long, healthy and fulfilling life ahead!
Love your story. Love you judge. Thanks for sharing. A fan from NC.
I APPLAUD you for what you went through & where you are today, So many Don't get to see the outside ever again. I'm proud of you for staying Clean my friend.. Triple O's,, been there.. Good luck in your future, Maybe do a Podcast like Sammy the Bull etc. It pays good if you keep it interesting and not as hard on the body work wise.. Stay Positive Stay Healthy, Big Jim aka BOSTON STRONG ! Peace brother...
Wow! What an amazing story! A changed man indeed!My snappy salute!👍🏻🤗
He robbed more banks
Everytime I hear stories like this... Damn it I just wanna hug him.
Good luck William. I would like to see you put out a book about your life.
He should definitely write a book!
Yeah, nah.
Absolutely, yeah
with practice, I guess he could make a top seller. there are tons of fan fiction sites out there, he can try his luck with other stories to hone his skills, then write a book about himself.
Um, it's been done. It's called The Town. 🙄
What a wonderful, inspiring and blessed story!
I want more updates on this man!!! 💕🙏🏽
Agreed
Why do women fascinate about criminals? Im just curious.
@@KhaledTheSaudiHawkII Cause the bootlickers become boring... They like adventures and a thrill
the man needs a podcast talking to his own kind , would be the best podcast out there .
Love from El Paso Tx 😎.. crazy life.. Nice to see your life change around... God bless u.. Head up
Beautiful it was like Jesus had touched my shoulder, what a beautiful expression, I'll never forget that man of faith and continue to be blessed ❤️👍
The story was an amazing one, thanks Judge Caprio, that story kept my hopes up when I was stuck on the haunted Road of Bones
Good Luck William! I'm rooting for you!
Thanks for sharing this your Honour. Take care and stay safe. 🤟🏽🖖🏽🙏🏼
What a great story to see someone turn their life around when they are given a second chance. This guy grew up in a bad situation from the start. Odds were not in his favor. This proves that men can change. Keep it up, you’re the motivation of why the criminal justice system should change many laws.
Thanks to trump n Kushner
Odds were not in his favor? What a load of crap, there are millions around the world who have come from broken families and go on to achieve great things in life. Lets not romanticize this guy too much. Credit to him that he's now trying to be a law abiding citizen but he knows he is old and doesn't have much time left.
that comment aged like milk
God be with you man keep staying positive and stay prayed up. Jesus loves you man hope all is well with ya. ☮️
All the lines on our palm are different, life is a journey. The universe loves him that’s for sure.... imagine robbing about 150 banks and being locked up in prison for 37 years... at any point of time he could have been killed. I’m proud of him for changing his life around, and I wish him all the best. If you don’t judge him by his criminal records... and just look at him like a human... and really look closer... he have a BIG Heart ❤️ God Bless him 🙏🏾🙌🏽🙏🏾
He is back in jail, robbed 4 Banks.
You're the man!! Hope to see you at rose alley, I'll get ya some wings man!
God Bless William. Infectious person to let one know n realise wat life was all about. I wish he would be doing some comedy movie on big screen someday soon.God Bless Everyone.
This man has a good heart. A movie should be made and he should get paid well. God bless you and we all are praying you have a great rest of your life sir.
The movie town was in fact based on this man Ben played Williams roll. But I wished they would make another movie about his life in and out of prison etc
This whole video is him talking about a movie that's made about him.... lol
Did you even pay attention to the video? Man repeated many times there was a movie created about his life story and he continued to explain some details throughout this 6 minute video.
@@kassandra5896 Lmfao smh, some people I tell ya 🤣
The town wasn’t even based on this guy though it was based on Anthony shea’s crew
Imagine how different the world would be to you after being locked up for 30 years everything would be changed so much.the cars the technology the people
This guy is a real gem. Interpoll should get his services . He should not be a courier boy
With a little coaching, Mr. Sequiera would make a fantastic public speaker! He has lived his story and is instantly credible (even if he takes credit for inspiring Ben Affleck - LOL).
What a legend of a bloke. Would love to buy him a beer or ten and a nice meal and have a chat about his life. I hope he's doing well.
He's a legend in his own mind. This story is nonsense.
@@maggiemiller5999 why u judge a men so fast this will bring you no where
@@JesusChristIsLordBeSaved why you eating this cr1min@l's b 0 @ t y?
he's in jail again so you can send him a pen pal letter if u want
Legend 😂😂😂😂
He was 34 when they got arrested after leading the cops on a 35 mile long chase. This dude literally found a woman who's always got his back. Dude still hasn't learned. Got arrested for robbing banks again at 59 during COVID.
Life long criminal,it's easy money for him🙄
Good luck to you, William. God bless you Sir !!!
I remember that case, great individual and character
He needs to get a producer on board and launch his own YT channel. Could listen to his stories all day long and I bet he has a few to tell
Watch that movie ..that movie is 1 of the best movie ever produce
Real solid "good" guys don't tell stories...they don't name names.....🤡🤡🤡
Fa real 💯
Fascinating story, thanks for sharing. Glad he is doing well.
Yep saw the captain on KZhead and had to watch it. Glad there judge gave you a break
Judge we love you so much. Thank you for giving this man a chance to live again. Long incarceration then when you comes out the sting of prejudice will always turn a repentant back to their old ways. Judge again thank you.
I don't know how or why,but it touched my heart. Many of us wasn't even born when this man went to prison, just imagine that.
He should create a KZhead Channel about his lifestyle and make video reactions to bank robbers móvies
Yeah like everyone else is doing..
The dude probably doesn't know how to use a computer. Was locked up since 1980
I’d watch it because it would be really interesting .
@@sanandres336 Seems to be the trend now a days lol
Hope he sees your comment. True he’s likely not Internet savvy. He just needs someone trustworthy to help him with that.
Damn...good for you William and great advice at the end
Regardless of whether or not he picked this guys story IN PARTICULAR, the movie is clearly based on the collective of bank robbers in that time period, of which this guy is one. Inarguable.
No. This guy isn't from Charlestown. 'The Town" is based on a novel written by a clown who wasn't from Charlestown. This is just a continuation of his prison bluster
@@maggiemiller5999 Nice im convinced people are liars and fascist now!
@@maggiemiller5999 Did you uhh not read the comment? 😓
I wish him all the best and will pray for him. 👍👍 stay on the right side of life. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ben Affleck plays Shae who was a part of a string of robberies that took place from the 90s. The theatrical love story may have been similar to his own, but this man was apart of the older bank job, not the ones the movie was about. This guy even said that Affleck went up to Shae's crew on the streets but the 5 men in that crew are all currently life sentences and have been since 95 and the movie was released in 2010.
also almost everyone who has tattoos and is a redsox fan has the Boston B
The movie is based on the Prince of thieves novel lol but there is a movie in development based on Anthony Shea, the no name gang
Amazing story , I could listen forever
Thanks for sharing this. Hope he continues his better life now.
Hello handsome
he's back in jail as of october 2022 for more bank robberies lmao not even making it up. look up his name :/
Wait what? His fiance saw him getting caught and grab all of his money from the refrigerator and ran away? 😂 Now that is some “love you till death” I see! 🤣
She took the money for him. The police would have found it otherwise.
@@bezzarguy so where's all the money now.. Why is he doing a low paying backbreaking job
@@leornemrac8066 The money was confiscated by the FEDS. every dollar he robbed was taken.
😂Moral lesson: never keep money under the same bed u lay women
He is truly gentleman absolutely Love it
Keep the podcast up !!
Glad he turned his life around. I pray he continues to appreciate the gift of freedom and use it to encourage others.
He’s back in jail
“You ever see the movie Armageddon?” “I have not.” “Watch the movie. I used to be an oil driller, then I became an astronaut. Ben Affleck played me.”
The Town is my all time favorite movie.
Thank you for giving us such an instructive opportunity. May God help us
He really needs to start his own KZhead channel I could not even imagine the crazy stories he could tell
Sadly he’s back in jail for robbing banks again
@@MrsAi84 lol be seein everyone talk about how he needs to speak, boy got caught robbing two banks for 888$ lmao
Love this guy ❤️ Appreciate his overall spirit. Hope he can persevere despite any challenges he’s facing.
I say make a new Netflix episodes and a book great job in changing your life around and thanks your Honor for allowing this bro to share his story you are the cooooolest judge ever
I watched this. What a world. Salute from Somalia 🇸🇴
Bless his heart. Right on man, right on.
He makes me wanna clear my throat
billy this is david genereux, tommy pitera, you and i used to hold down the tv at allenwood... ben affleck? stop it billy, your killing me... happy to see your out... enjoy the lime light
You were locked up with this guy? Lmao did he lie about the ben affleck thing?
@@RuggedTheBeast yes.. and no comment... he is a good guy
This is awesome 😆
Highlighting a reformed criminal who has THOSE kind of charges.... really beautiful honestly. He doesn’t see him as an enemy. The law against him. He immediately recognizes him as someone who’s trying to do the right thing.
🇺🇦🤡
@@eliasziad7864 More like 🇷🇺 🤡 lol. But okay.
The last sentence.. Way to go mate. 💪👍
The heading makes out that Affleck swindled this guy
Affleck nailed it. He talks just like him just older.
Praying for you sir. God will bless you. Let Him in. He is moving in your life! 🙏
I actually lived in Boston when these guys were robbing banks and armored trucks back in the 80s and 90s..Funny to run into this story on youtube 30+ years later.
Some may never understand the hardship and struggle you go through as a "convict" or "ex con" because this world isn't set up for us it is really really hard out here to make and all we need sometimes is one person to give us a chance. I'm glad he found that person
Except he's back in prison lol
The Town was based on Anthony Shea from Charlestown.
Google says it’s based on a book
@@appletrades I’m so sorry you had to find out like this
good one mate, doing well is a good thing, dont let any one tell you different, good luck mate
you got this man, enjoy your life!
I saw the judge let him off for speeding ticket, I thought that was such a good use off the system and clever judge...it must be hard for this dude to adjust to the society so God bless dude you don't need money to he happy xx
Hello handsome
Quite a charismatic guy. Would make a good actor in a tarrantino film
agreed!
That was a an awesome video!!
Good on you William Turning your life a round is not easy mate . And to the man that give you a chance by giving you a job I wish there wear more like Sir . Cheers .. :)
Unbelievable and surely a life worthy of a film. But the good thing is that he has turned into a new leaf an works for a living. And enemies or families of persons he would have assaulted, killed may be on a lookout for him...
imagine him walking outside in 2017 after being in prison since 1980 and seeing tf is happening 😭
What a great movie, this man has lived a few lives. God bless his new life.
His old life, william sequeira got caught again back in Oct 2022
Wow great follow up story 👍 I’m all about the positive vibes ✌️🤙🏻
