David McMillan has lead a life that is almost unbelievable, its like something out of a Hollywood crime thriller.
Born in the UK to Australian parents David would travel back and forth between the two countries a few times until at the age of 10 his parents divorced and he, his sister and mother made the permanent move to Melbourne.
David was always different as a kid, he was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD, a sign of things to come?
At eighteen David got a job at the city cinema and by chance would meet some retired safe crackers, safe crackers who were looking to invest their money in the drug business. With no one that could source it for them David jumped in head first and thus changing the course of his entire life.
David made millions of dollars, before an Australian task force swooped and he would spend 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once he was out he decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK, with a stop off in Thailand, a decision that would see him arrested again and facing the death penalty.
Just two weeks before he was to be killed by firing squad David did something that no western has ever achieved, he escaped.
