Never Saw Me Coming: How I Outsmarted the FBI and the Entire Banking System and Pocketed 40 Million BY Tanya Smit

In Never Saw Me Coming, Tanya Smith delivers a thrilling and deeply personal account of how she, an unsuspecting and tech-savvy young woman, orchestrated an audacious white-collar scheme that manipulated the U.S. Federal banking system out of millions. Smith’s journey begins with a fascination for technology, leading her to acquire celebrity phone numbers before moving on to steal and deposit $5,000 into her grandmother’s account. By the age of 18, she has confiscated millions of dollars.

The FBI soon takes notice, yet in their interrogation, they reveal their racist assumptions by asserting that such crimes are beyond the intelligence of Black people. Insulted and undeterred, Smith sets out to prove them wrong. Over the years, she orchestrates thefts totaling $40 million, securing diamonds, gold bars, and other valuable assets along the way. However, her extravagant lifestyle begins to attract dangerous individuals, some of whom attempt to kill her.

Relentless law enforcement dubs Smith "one of the single biggest threats to the entire United States banking system." Despite facing a harsh and unprecedented prison sentence for her white-collar crimes, Smith manages to secure her freedom by mounting her own brilliant legal defense.

With its unexpected twists and gripping tension, Never Saw Me Coming offers a captivating glimpse into a woman's rise through the world of cybercrime, her encounters with institutional prejudice, and the eventual price she pays for her daring exploits. The story underscores the power of resilience and ingenuity, never to underestimate a determined woman.
