Adam Worth (c. 1844 – 1902), also known by the moniker "the Napoleon of crime", was a notorious crime boss and fraudster.[1] Already an accomplished thief in America, Worth was responsible for recruiting a young Ned Wynert, helping him strike it big in the criminal underworld. Having noticed Ned's talent for scheming and conversational manipulation, Worth tasked him with setting up a crime syndicate in the heart of the British Empire.[2] In 1876, while in London, Worth stole Thomas Gainsborough's portrait of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire from Thomas Agnew & Sons's gallery, which would be known as one of his most infamous crimes.[3]
