Born in Toledo, Ohio, Regina began stealing at just 14 years old after being exposed to stolen clothes through her mother. By 1991, she had already made over $300,000—and her criminal career escalated quickly from there. In this interview, Regina details how she eventually teamed up with Kenny and Yellow, pulling off high-end heists that added up to nearly $20 million in stolen jewelry, fur coats, and designer items. She recalls the infamous $100,000 mink coat job, the 1999 arrest that sent her to prison, and giving birth while incarcerated. Regina also speaks on her 2006 attempt at one final heist, which led to another prison sentence before she ultimately decided to change her life. Now focused on her children and grandchildren, Regina reflects on the damage caused along the way—including the impact on small businesses, the emotional toll on innocent people who were involved, and how the fast money ultimately left her with nothing. She emphasizes that crime is never worth it and stresses the importance of building a legitimate path for the next generation. Vlad reinforces the message: real success comes from integrity, ownership, and creating value—not temporary, high-risk shortcuts. 0:00 – Regina Blackshear: Queen of Furs & $20M Crime Story 0:55 – Toledo Childhood: Working Parents, Early Hustle Dreams 3:25 – Teenage Boosting: Shoplifting Tricks & Booster Life 7:50 – Razor Attack, Juvenile Jail & Teen Pregnancy 11:30 – Full‑Time Booster: Cross‑State Thefts in the Crack Era 18:10 – Stealing Mink Furs: Girdles, Keys, Wire Cutters Explained 24:40 – Jewelry Heists: Raymond Weil, Rolex & $19M in Diamonds 35:20 – Mill Creek Mall Rolex Robbery, Fake ID & Federal Case 44:10 – Female Prison Life: Giving Birth in Chains & Martha Stewart 55:30 – Final Mink Theft, Prison Wake‑Up Call & Choosing Family
