Whats the craziest crime you or somebody in your family has commited?

GGGrandfather went abroad, leaving his accountant with fiduciary duties dealing with his rather extensive land holdings. Accountant didn't pay property taxes or bank loans, and instead embezzled all money, and allowed the property to be taken by creditors and the government. Upon his return, my ancestor learned of the accountant's misdeeds and his newly destitute situation, went to the accountant and shot him 6 times, killing him. As family lore goes, the judge asked him "Why did you shoot him 6 times?"

"Because that's how many bullets I had"

After a short time in a mental hospital, he regained his freedom. There is still bad blood between the families of the accountant and mine. That family, because of the theft and others, went on to be one of the more wealthy in the area, while my family has been solidly working class ever since.
