Most Educated Criminals of 20th Century

Other factors like economic and financial need also play an essential role, the study listed. The police while concurring with the study have also reported an increase in the number of educated criminals who list economic and financial reasons as the main reason for committing the crime.
Here’s a list of 4 highly knowledgeable criminals
J. Reece Roth

If that wasn’t criminal enough he often traveled abroad carrying sensitive information regarding the project. Roth maintained that his intentions were not to betray his county or jeopardize the safety of the armed forces
Chiman Rai
A professor of Mathematics at Alcorn State University appeared to be mild-mannered, boring, fairly straight and narrow personality who went around minding his own business. Contrary to the beliefs of many the professor was a racist and strongly disapproved of his son’s marriage to a black woman.
He hired a hitman to kill her. In 2008 he was found guilty and jailed.
John Donovan, Sr.

The professor staged an elaborate series of breaking and even shot himself to cement his claims
James H. Snook
James H Snook was the head of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State, an inventor and gold medalist. He was found guilty of murdering a woman with whom he had a sexual affair and was sentenced to death.
