The $18 Million Dollar Maple Syrup Heist 

This channel has had it rough with the jack situation, but I'm honestly so impressed with the quality that came out of the whole debacle. I will admit, I really enjoyed the way that the content felt with jack narrating, but it is completely understandable that he's not doing it anymore. Recently it feels like the channel has been going back to its roots, and I really hope it continues.

My parents have a few trees tapped around our house here in Nova Scotia, and let me tell you, maple syrup is WORK. An entire season's worth of collecting usually results in less than a dozen mason jars of syrup at MOST, and that's only if we don't accidentally overboil the sap and lose some. It's a delicious reward when it's complete, though.

Couldn't be happier that the channel is releasing more videos. But post-Jak, the stories are all on events that everyone already knows. I miss discovering things through the Disrupt style of story telling. That was what made this channel extra special.

Seems like they got themselves into a sticky situation

Thank you disrupt for not adding fake black bars on the top and bottom and uploading it in proper ultrawide aspect ratio. I have an ultrawide and this is one of the reasons i love your videos because i can actually use my full monitor.

This took me back to a field trip in 1995 to a maple syrup place. We got to see the whole process. It's so specialized, it's no wonder it's so expensive.

Wow, the editing on this video is on a whole 'nother level. What an amazing team

Some people will do anything for maple syrup. That's me. Just me.

Maple syrup Pruducer here, Maple Mafia is my favorite go to expression. Another great video, with well done reasearch!

I miss the old story telling techniques, that used to be used. Their was more suspense and build it also used to feel I was watching 3 stories that would be come one at the end. Man i miss that soo much.

Just for reference, an Abraham tank is over 10 million, 1 million gallons of lemon juice is roughly 15 million, 40 thousand gallons of mayonnaise is 1.3 million, and an Apache is roughly 13 million dollars per chopper

The critical role reference got me lol

amazing video as usual, I still can't stress enough how much I love your music picks. I'd love to get standalone versions of those tracks

I don’t thing I have ever seen a more threatening thumbnail in my life. Good job 👍

keep going guys, content has grown to an even higher quality. algorithm will find you again. phenomenal video.

the disrupt videos never get old im always waiting for a new upload keep it up you guys this video was really good

I was thinking about your work recently, and I love it. Very happily surprised you released today. Your creativity really shows. Cant wait to see more

makes me sad to see my fav channel not receive the views it deserves. sad the damage that jake did.

Video editing MAGIC. Such a delightful video to watch.

I'm really starting to like this new style of videos. I was a fan of the old format, but wow is the quality off the charts with the new stuff. You guys are doing great!

I swear this is the only channel that makes widescreen videos, always love the visuals

Absolutely outstanding production. I love every artistic decision taken.

Disrupt always dropping the best content.

Bruh. That editing skills are just next level bro.

loving the bounce-back of the channel! excited to se what's next.

The quality of these videos is unbelievable!

Disrupt always posting the most random shit that I just can't get enough of

Great vid as always deserves so much more recognition

It's crazy to think that they pulled this off by transporting small amounts of drums which is really time consuming

Disrupt is freaking AWESOME love this chanel.

so cool :) im glad to see you didnt sold half of ur channel :3 keep going its so cool ur vids whenever new vids comes out i always watch it

There had better been a million dollar pancake heist after this.

I’m thinking about making a similar video but hacking documentary format

i love these hesit videos so much

The narrations are amazing on this one keep it up!

Never disappointed by there new video,absolutely amazing quality

Keep it up. Love this channel

Great video I know this channel will become big again one day

i work in a winery where we have about 300 bbls (small boutique producer) and i cant imagine draining 3000 damn barrels. I stopped at 3:15 to speculate because it is fun. The inspector guy must have been tired due to the large count. It's generally easy to tell when your typical 225l bbl is empty. Especially if you are climbing them. It is odd to me that he did not notice the second he grabbed one. Even on a stable bbl rack (iirc none of your imagery depicted them on barrel racks) you would notice the lack of heft to them. Barely touch one and you'd easily hear it resonate in a quiet bbl room. After watching. After they abandoned refilling with water I don't understand why they took the barrels remote to just siphon them. A basic siphon hose is small, siphon on site. It doesn't take that long and bring 1 hose per vessel you're siphoning into. Hell, even a barrel wand with a long hose and nitrogen tank or something is easily transportable and not cost prohibitive to acquire. Coming in after hours they could have driven in there with empties on the truck and siphoned directly from the warehouse barrels into the empties. Then driven away. No heavy lifting in the warehouse, just awkward climbing with the hose. On second thought, their lack of experience might have made siphoning too messy to try it in the warehouse. The spills would have been challenging to clean. Kinda makes me wonder what they actually did in more specific terms than just "siphon" which the video here used. They could have afforded a beast mode waukesha pump a few weeks into the heist. That could drain a barrel in like 5 seconds if they really wanted to save time.

editing is pure fire

that outro is actually a bop though wtf i was trying to sleep and i started rocking out

I'm eating waffles with pure maple syrup while watching this, just a coincidence, I assure you,

Wonderful video as usual. Thanks for the content.

Nice, happy to see disrupt doing cool stuff again.

Awesome video 👍 as usual 😀 love the narration and animation! Great job 👍

If you want an other heist check the 1972 Montreal Museum of Fine Arts robbery. 18 art pieces were stolen, the thieves also stole 38 pieces of jewellery and figurine, for a total of 2 000 000$ (around 14 200 800$ today). The three robbers entered the museum by a skylight that had been covered by a plastic sheet in the course of some ongoing work. One of them was armed with a pump action shotgun and another with a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun. All three guards were overpowered and taken to a lecture hall where they were bound and gagged. The three suspect were never found.

gotta love and protect channels that put high effort on their videos

Disrupt have made some of the best factual RU-vid short documentary videos I've ever seen - I'm thinking of the computer virus ones - but this story has been told so many times it feels like a wasted opportunity.

It sucks that the channel lost a LOT of momentum due to jack's actions Like you resolved the situation almost immediately but if theres one thing i know is that channels with controversies that are resolved almost never fully bounce back Like projared for example even after he proved all allegations false and proved that his ex wife was lying his channel is still a fraction of what it used to be It really sucks

as a canadian with family back east i'm so happy people will understand what maple syrup mafia means. liquid gold doesn't begin to start to describe it. it is amazing tho find a can of it if you can

If you want to avoid the FPAQ, there's a considerable maple syrup production industry up here in New England speaking CT through ME, VT being the more famous state for its production.

yet another banger 🔥🔥

what an incredible story beautifully presented!

hopeing disrupt makes a full come back make sure to like the video and help them out guys

Guys can you pls add metric units to the imperial ones? Really helps set the scale of things if you don’t know the conversion.

never tought i'd watch a documentary about maple syrup

Bruh i had no idea this was uploaded i woulda watched immediately

Gummigoo was just trying to cure his sick mother!

I love watching this on widescreen monitor

These glitchy, chroma oberation distorted footages are sooo damn good

insanely good video but id change thumbnail

I love the storys, but the visuals are what really do it for me! Every Video is made with the same care for quality and content but the visuals are ever changing and evolving, i love it! Are you guys by any chance looking for more artists/designers? ;D

I think the stories are getting better. Along with narration

Video 10/10, Intro 11/10

Only disrupt could make a documentary about people stealing maple syrup interesting

If i could have a full movie of one of disrupts videos, this would be a top option

What a presentation, very good!

oh my god that intro was so freaking good

The animation is fantastic

Love this channel man 🍁🍁🍁🍁

Never gonna look at maple syrup the same. But I'll certainly be eating it the same.

I like the new direction with the subject matter being a bit lighter and the animations being a bit funnier, not as elaborate but I don't miss them tbh. I just wish the videos were longer and had more details

Love your vids!

Goddamn these videos are beautiful

I will never look at maple syrup the same again

Liked the critical role reference

Great production

Despite the Jak's drama, they're still producing Netflix-like documentals, i'm still supporting you

This whole thing feels like a subchapter in Infinite Jest

You know there's going to be a movie about this!

Amazing video! I have a question: At around 4:16 are you guys using Johnny Harris' music? I think the song is from him, but I'm not sure if you guys made something similar or what haha Either way, I just wanted to say that you guys have excellent taste in musical selection!

What microphone and headphones do you guys use during editing and recording? everything sounds so cleeaaaaannnn, not just the voice but like, the sound editing itself, very professional

this event was so important to my canadian school it entered my history class curriculum

Intro goes hard af🤧

Starfox did a barrel roll 2:35

GET IT "A CRITICAL ROLE" AND THE D20 COMES IN SCREEN

Gotta love the Ocean’s 11 soundtrack inclusions

as someone who mostly grew up in Vermont, and is now back here for college - our maple syrup is the best ;)

Thinking of a protected "Maple 🍁 syrup" patch. Reminds me of how there are protected poppy fields for pharmaceutical production in specific areas in the world. Just like this maple syrup region.

Fantastic content

Clicked notif as soon as it popped out

Banger of a video !!!

That’s right The entire country of Canada has been robbed of their most valuable resource MAPLE SYRUP It’s up to you to bring those robbing bandits to sweet buttery justice

*Fascinating story Disrupt* 👏🐴

We call the federation the maple mafia here in NH! I remember when this happened, it was huge news to us in the maple industry.

Could you do a video on the biggest Crypto scammers like FTX and all the others?

This is why I get Vermont maple syrup.

Great stuff.

was sol glad not to get interrupted with a sponsor half way thru

What a title 🤣
