The Manhunt: How Marc Rich Escaped the FBI for 17 Years

Imagine in 1983, Marc Rich received one phone call. Hours later he was on a private jet to Switzerland while FBI agents entered his office. For seventeen years the United States hunted the King of Oil across thirty-three countries and never caught him. This is a Deal with the Devil true crime documentary. The Marc Rich Saga started with a Pilot followed by 12 Sequels. This is Sequel 2 of the Manhunt – America’s Relentless Chase for the King of Oil. Rudy Giuliani, the prosecutor who would not let go. U.S. Marshal Ken Hill’s fourteen-year chase. The pink mansion on Lake Lucerne. And the presidential pardon that still divides people to this day. 0:00 The phone call 1:10 Escape to Switzerland 2:20 The 65-count indictment 3:40 Giuliani and Weinberg 5:00 Ken Hill’s 14-year chase 6:20 The Clinton pardon #MarcRich #KingOfOil #BillClinton #Giuliani #DealWithTheDevil His rule was simple: “I’m a businessman, not a politician.
