Depends on the expectations.

Little old bag ladies carrying $100K's of cash around NYC for drug lords are untouched, because anyone who might be tempted to rob them knows that within a few hours they'd be dead.

Swift, widely-known "justice" (punishment) can be a good deterrent.

This is the first I've heard of this - can you elaborate? Is the implication that there exist a fleet of "innocent"-appearing folks carrying vast swaths of money around? Are they identifiable as such?

drug dealers and mules being robbed are not uncommon.
