There is a very entertaining book written on the robbery called Heist by Jeff Diamant. I read it years ago and remember they underestimated the volume of money and had to leave MILLIONS BEHIND BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T FIT into the Ford van they used for the burglary. They also did about everything wrong imaginable after the heist such as driving from Charlotte to the Columbia, SC airport to fly to Mexico, only to find the airport closed when they arrived in the wee hours. They also conspicuosly spent loot on everything from velvet Elvises to mansions with no discernable source of additional income. |
I did mention a few posts back that I might need a bigger truck. Do I get bonus points for that?
