  1. Ruby's so-called mental breakdown was a legal ploy by his lawyer, Melvin Belli, to get him declared not guilty by reason of insanity. It backfired, the jury didn't buy it and not only was Ruby found guilty but given the death penalty as well. He was in the midst of appealing for a re-trial and a sympathy defense which he probably would have gotten when he died in prison.

  4. Auric Goldfinger had the best plan in 1964, to irradiate Fort Knox for 58 years while hoarding the rest of the world's gold. Unfortunately, the U.S. went off the gold reserve in 1971, so he couldn't really crash the world economy today.
