Talk:Theodore John Conrad

Description of crime
Early coverage refers to him as an embezzler, and he was indicted for that offense. More recent coverage calls him a "bank robber." He was indicted on the former and not the latter offense. To resolve this conflict, I am using the more general term of "criminal" and am removing the "bank robber" category in lieu of "embezzlement." Coretheapple (talk) 16:38, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * That "more general term" was wrong. He was never a criminal, so I moved the page. A person must be convicted to be a criminal. And as you point out, he was not a robbery suspect. Conrad was an admitted embezzler, but an admission of guilt is not the same as being guilty in the encyclopedic sense.I like to saw logs! (talk) 06:54, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Bank robber
Re: Bank robbery and/or robbery. This article (Theodore Conrad), in a hat note, describes Theodore John Conrad as a "bank robber". He was not a "bank robber", correct? He committed a larceny or a theft or, possibly, an embezzlement. But he never "robbed" the money the bank. He merely "stole" the money from the bank. Right? Joseph A.

Randele
Evidently Conrad assumed the first name of Thomas from his love of the movie "Thomas Crown Affair". I was just wondering if he chose the last name Randele as a tribute to Steve McQueen's character in Tv show "Wanted: Dead or Alive", Josh Randall. Flight Risk (talk) 19:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
