I’m surprised that someone still practises the ancient art of physical brick-and-mortar bank heist. I guess the bank was also surprised.
When the prolific and unrepentant bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied “That’s where the money is.”
Can’t argue with that logic
Wasn’t this one of the Die Hard movies?
Another recession indicator: resurgence of high-profile heists
If we don’t switch from a Trickle Down to a Trickle UP Economy, we will spontaneously flip to a Robin Hood Economy (Take from the rich, give to the poor), and that usually comes accompanied by guillotines and what not.
is this meant to be ironic considering they removed a wall to get paid?
I have no doubt they will get caught. With the number of cameras canvassing cities and infrastructure, it is only a matter of time before they can be backtracked to some point of origin, and then be found using standard police investigation techniques. This type of job will have been done by individuals from a small pool of criminals who specialize in them, and they’re not plentiful and almost always previously known by police.
I’ve been thinking about it myself a lot for a book, and I just don’t see how they could get away in this day and age doing such a high profile robbery. Their best bet is to immediately move the loot and have third and fourth parties secure funds in overseas accounts so that they can access them after they served out their (relatively short) sentences, then live out their lives in wealth and opulence- except they rarely do that, because you don’t become a bank robber for the money.
No matter how much money you potentially make, it’s never going to be enough.
No…No…Nonononono…
We OF COURSE need NOW cameras EVERYWHERE (yeah, Timmy, even in the cellar where you do what we ALREADY KNOW YOU DO THERE) and we HAVE TO implement AI (ARTIFICIAL GODDAMN INTELLIGENCE!“!§”“”“) to monitor the camera footage of every FUCKING CITIZEN, NON-CITIZEN, FUCKING EVERYONE!!!”.
€30mil in cash is some haul.
Like the pile of cash scene from breaking bad
Any haul is 10 times lighter if you bring it home and get it for free :)
Where do you get a drill that big?
More important question is that how do you use it quietly enough to not gain attention.
Low speed, high torque.
Good
Those safe deposit boxes did not live up to their description.
The PAYDAY games would have you think they were made of titanium.
The “vault” had a brick wall and wooden shelves?
From the photo, there seems to have been a substantial-thickness concrete wall and then a brick wall. Obviously, they were still not enough, but it wasn’t just a brick wall.
And about the wooden shelves: So what? They are not security relevant or customer facing, they just need to work as shelves.
Good fuck the banks
Eh, the bank probably won’t be inconvenienced much. I imagine they have insurance, so the insurance company will be fucked, so good cause fuck insurance companies.
Although for something this big the government might be the insurance for the bank, so taxpayers might foot the bill.
So fuck us I guess, we lose again.
