Jeffrey Shuman (born July 1962) is an American-French bank robber, dubbed the "Reebok Bandit" and "The Vaulter", is considered to be one the most prolific bank robbers in the United States and Canada. In 1994, he pleaded guilty to robbing 14 banks in the United States, receiving a 12-year sentence, but was released in 2004, and fled the country while on parole. He then robbed 21 banks in Canada, before fleeing to France on his French passport. In 2016, he was extradited to Canada, and in 2017, was sentenced to 15 years in prison and ordered to pay back nearly $450,000 in restitution after pleading guilty to seven counts of robbery using a firearm.
