The syndicate was caught but they all took plea deals for incriminating the leader of their syndicate. He was put on trial, and during the trial he made what looked like an attempt to commit suicide by going near a window and then appearing to jump to his death. What they found out 2 minutes later is that he had planned his escape with an escape car already in position to catch him, and leave. He was never found again. There's also the Baker Street Robbery, and also there's this one where this guy stole a whole lot of money, held people hostage and then got a plane that was set to go to Chile or something, during the course of the flight his plane was being trailed by US military planes intent on capturing him once the plane landed. But he managed to evade them by jumping out of the planet somehow undetected and when they last tracked him he was safely in Brazil but he a son with some women there and at the time Brazil had a law that they wouldn't extradite anyone who has local born child in the country. oh btw the capatcha was "gangsters markets" coincidence?
