The morning of February 8, 1977, Anthony G. 'Tony' Kiritsis, entered the office of Richard O. Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company.

He took him hostage with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a 'dead man’s wire' from the trigger to the Hall’s head.

This is the true story of the stand-off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges or prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was 'owed'.
