Brett Johnson committed tax fraud and credit card fraud from a desk inside the FBI offices for almost a year before going on a cross-country crime spree, stealing $600,000 in four months, making the US Most Wanted list, going to Disney World, getting sent to prison AND THEN ESCAPING! But let's back up…In today's episode of The James Altucher Show, we sit down with Brett Johnson, a man who has lived a double life.

Redemption is possible. No matter what mistakes you've made in the past, it's never too late to turn your life around and use your skills for good.
