 Now the sports minister, Gaten McKenzie, aims to bring spinning into the mainstream. I robbed my first bank before I reached 16 years old. It's not as glamorous as the movies make it. McKenzie was in and out of jail through his youth and was sentenced to 17 years for armed robbery. Paroled after 10 years, he decided to remake himself. He became a motivational speaker at high schools, a millionaire businessman, and the author of a book he called A Hustler's Bible.
