John Dillinger

Personality type: ESTP / ENTJ
But with a strong inclination towards ESTP.
free but possessive of his freedom,
brave but aware of the danger,
tough but sentimental,
criminal but with a code,
selfish but capable of sacrificing himself for someone,
impulsive but intelligent,
and seemingly invulnerable while hiding a huge fear of losing what he loves.

When something hurts emotionally, they will probably:

He makes jokes.
Turn tension into humor.

He distances himself.
Instead of explaining what he feels.

Take action.
Do something instead of just talking about it.

Minimize the danger.
Especially when acknowledging it would mean admitting fear.

He takes refuge in action.
If you're doing something, you don't have to just sit around feeling.

This is one of the most famous stories related to him.

In March 1934 he was detained in Crown Point, Indiana.

Authorities assumed the prison was virtually escape-proof.

Dillinger managed to escape.

The most famous story claims that he used a wooden gun he had carved while imprisoned.

The FBI records that version: Dillinger later claimed that he had carved a wooden gun, with which he intimidated the guards before seizing real weapons and escaping.

After being released from prison in 1933, Dillinger began a series of bank robberies.

His criminal career was very short but extraordinarily intense.

From September 1933 to July, he went from being a regional criminal to becoming one of the most wanted people in the United States.

That's what's so impressive:

Approximately ten months.
That was enough to turn his name into a legend.

His mother died when he was only three years old.

His father later remarried, and Dillinger's relationship with his family was complicated.

As a teenager he started getting into trouble and ended up dropping out of school.

Later he had problems with the law for theft and was sentenced to a long prison term.

And here something fundamental happens:

Prison transformed him.

During his years in prison, he came into contact with other criminals and learned a great deal about criminal methods.

When he got out, he was no longer just a troubled young man.

He was much more experienced.

Charismatic
He has a knack for connecting with people and gaining their trust.

Self-confident
Even when surrounded by police, he seems to have an almost absurd calmness.

Impulsive
He doesn't seem to live thinking too much about the consequences.
Bold
He has an enormous tolerance for risk.
Loyal to his own
For him, loyalty to his colleagues carries a lot of weight.

Romantic
With his wife, a much more vulnerable version of him emerges.

Vain
He likes good suits, cars, money, and the lifestyle he can buy.

Challenging
He doesn't seem to readily accept that another person has authority over him.

Fatalist
It has a fairly clear philosophy:

Live intensely now because there probably won't be a tomorrow.

On July 22, 1934, the FBI ambushed him as he left the Biograph Theater in Chicago, where Dillinger had just seen the gangster film Manhattan Melodrama. Noticing the agents, he tried to draw his pistol and run into an alley.

He operated during a very short but extremely violent period, known as the era of public enemies. Total loot: It is estimated that he and his gang stole more than $300,000 (the equivalent of several million dollars today) in a dozen robberies. Legendary escapes: His most famous escape occurred at Crown Point Prison in Indiana, where he used a homemade wooden replica pistol to fool the guards and escape in the police chief's car. The birth of the FBI: The initial failure of local police to catch him across state lines forced J. Edgar Hoover to transform the small Bureau of Investigation into the modern FBI, giving weapons and national jurisdiction to agents like Melvin Purvis.
