FWIW, I knew a guy, briefly, who committed over 70 bank robberies. He was a next door neighbor of a friend of mine who lived in subsidized housing for the elderly. The robber had a strict schedule in and out in two, maybe three minutes once the robbery started. However, he got caught on the last one - because he stayed too long.
As a side note, I met him as he was dying of cancer, and my friend would help take care of him. Id pitch in, but it was mostly my friend doing the day-to-day helping. Absolutely f*ing heartbreaking. There was no one else in his life - no friends, no family, nothing. He was bitter and alone. It was brutal watching him die over a few months.

I guess it makes sense that he quit robbing banks once he got caught.

He got out from prison before he died?
How did he spend the days alone before he got cancer
I’d guess my average teller drawer value was somewhere between 2-5k “unlocked” and maybe another 5k kept locked below my station. Not exactly “let’s leave the country and live like kings” money.
