Whether true or false, I thought that except for 2A, political statements were off limits.

Get several motels on credit, claim that every room is always booked at a high rate. 20 rooms at $200 a room is $4000 a day and about 1.5 million a year. Buy more motels every year. Buy some pots shops, government requires everything is in cash, claim lots of sales. Always pay cash for stuff under 10K

Plus, you could live real decent, but low key and I bet nobody would notice you dropping a grand a day if you just spread it around in a fair sized city.

One person didn't get it all. I doubt any one person got ever a 1/3 of it

This is allegedly 1 million in cash. Hauling 30X that amount out through the roof wouldn't be easy.

Look at the photos! It went through one of the walls, when it did not matter who knew about the "Stick Up." Too late to catch me now. It was brilliant.

Lot of $20 in that photo

A million in $100s weighs 22.2#, 30 mill would be 666#. LOL

It would also take up 12 cubic ft. A box 2'x2'x3' if very tightly packed or about 10 big sea bags full

Take all that times 5 if it was $20s

If it was 1/3 $100, 1/3 $50s and 1/3 $100 it would be 222# +444# +1110# for a total of 1776# and 32 cu ft so a box 3'x3'x3'-8" or at least 24 large size 12" x 20" sea-bags stuffed full

Those may be the same scum that got my $12 million the same way! ��

Hey, isn't that your kitchen table?

I can only think of one organization with the cajones, connections, and resources to pull off that heist, but they traditionally do it through taxation.

I’d be staking out the upcoming Tulsa show.

Bet somebody didn't show up to work there on Monday morning.

Keeping a low profile is key with large amounts of cash. Arguing loudly with the salesman over whether you should pay the $499 doc fee on a new Maserati while flaunting a large envelope stuffed with $100s is not the way to go.

Just read this in the article...

A federal source said investigators were trying to complete a full accounting of the missing cash....

I bet at least one person with an account at that facility swallowed hard on reading that in the paper.

I agree about getting that much money out of there. Just taking 1 million and quitting would be a great amount. Had to take hours, Larry

Expect some more thefts as the new G700s are pricey.

No it would not be easy. But you should be smarter than that. Look at the photos. What was the point of egress?

Unless they’re one of the new $20/hour McDonald’s employees.

It sounds an awful lot like the heist that was depicted in the movie “Empire State” with Dwayne Johnson and Liam Hemsworth. I wonder if the perps gained any inspiration from it.

Who wants to bet it's offshore by now?

The theft occurred at an Armored Car company cash processing facility. Very well planned I imagine. And they didn’t just guess their way in through the roof without triggering any alarms ….
And the JFK heist was $7m from the secure cage room at the Lufthansa Airline Cargo building. They had keys and insider info.
Same thing with a similar $18m theft in LA in 1996.

Where was Hunter during that timeframe?

Been there, done that. :
