Jonathan Wild was perhaps the most famous criminal of London - and possibly Great Britain - during the 18th century, both because of his own actions and the uses novelists, playwrights, and political satirists made of them. He invented a scheme which allowed him to run one of the most successful gangs of thieves of the era, all the while appearing to be the nation's leading policeman. Wikipedia
