The whole truth about Henry Stickmin

Henry Stickmin seems like any stick figure: black outline, white skin, them LONG eyes. But what's beneath the surface is shocking. He is based on a real person who robbed the National Bank of Arizona.

Life

The person in question is an anonymous person named Henry Sampson. In 1986, when he was 22, Henry chose to rob a National Bank of Arizona location, and made it successfully. One year later, in 1987, Henry was found in Romania living under a different name, specifically "Shayne Disick". He was promptly arrested, but all records of where he was incarcerated are lost media. All we have now is his sentence's length, which was life imprisonment. However, it is unknown if he escaped or died, or if his sentence was shortened and he was set free.

Inspiration

Marcus Bromander, the creator of the Henry Stickmin series, took this as an opportunity. He created a stick figure named after Sampson, and called him Henry Stickmin. Stickmin starred in the Flash game Breaking the Bank, based on Henry Sampson's real-life bank robbery. A collection of games were released after, but soon the idea got separated from Henry Sampson, with factions like the Toppat Clan and Police.

Other media

Even a Gab post further speaks the truth, as seen here. It says, in the original poster's own words:

The Henry Stickmin Collection is based on a criminal act so unknown even the government of America does not know.

It involved a man called Henry Sampson, who, in 1986, robbed the National Bank of Arizona, then went to an unidentified prison after. It is unknown if Sampson escaped or died in prison, all we know is that he got life imprisonment.

Question

Now, it is time for the answer: How do I know this? The answer is, when I was eight, I met Henry Sampson's only known child, whom I'll call Thomas. Thomas said his father was a master criminal and robbed a bank in Arizona, but further informed he "still loved my father although he is hated and unknown". I believe Thomas has not been heard from ever since.

And that's our news story. So see ya next story, and I hope you have a good time.
