George Manuel Bosque (January 1955 – 1 July 1991) was an American security guard and movie producer. After stealing $1.85 million from a Brink's truck on August 15, 1980,[1] he went on a spending spree, financing and producing Centurians of Rome [sic], a gay pornographic movie.[2][3][4]

Bosque was pursued by the police and Lloyd's of London, which had insured the money he stole.[5] He was arrested in November 1981, and, after initially pleading not guilty,[6] pleaded guilty at his trial in February 1982.[7] His plea was accepted by the federal prosecutor, Robert Mueller.[7] Bosque was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and released in 1986. He died in 1991, at the age of 36, of a suspected drug overdose.[8]
