Reminded me of this Key & Peele sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgYYOUC10aM
Robber 2: So how do we get the money?
Robber 1: That's the beauty of it, bro. They deposit the money into our bank accounts, week after week, month after month. They're not even gonna know they're being robbed! And then 20-30 years later, we walk out the front door like nothin' even happened.
Tellers are trained to be very polite to bank robbers, which throws them off. Most bank robberies don't even involve a gun right away. They're written notes asking for smaller amounts of money. The clearance rate is 60% which means about 40% don't get caught.
However, before anyone sets down this path, you should probably consider that it might be easier to make $100k just working at a bank.
