This is how modern heist look like. You do not need guns anymore. Get keyboard, access to internet, learn, learn, learn and then get ~60 mil euros in one evening without going out of home stealing somebodies bitcoins.

And it's not directly physically violent! One could also argue that the people you're stealing from are mostly financial speculators too if it made one feel better.

The heist may not be violent, but if the victims ever catch up with you...
