== Downfall == During a trip to Belgium, Worth was caught during a robbery and arrested on the spot. Refusing to identify himself to the Belgian investigators, Scotland Yard and The New York Police Department were brought in, and both police organizations identified him as Adam Worth. A rival boss, Max Shinburn, who had recruited Adam's former associate Charley Bullard, told investigators everything he knew. Worth was eventually convicted in an 1893 trial and sent to Leuven prison. Worth was released early in 1897 for good behavior. He died of natural causes in 1902.
