You'd have to rob a lot of banks to get to $100K, however. And the FBI is very effective at catching bank robbers. It would be pretty low on my personal list of illegal ways to get money.

I went into my local BigBank branch to close out accounts since we moved to a credit union, they said they were a "cashless bank". I was in a hurry and didn't ask snarky follow-up questions like how long that branch would be there. Felt bad for the employee.
It would make for a funny movie scene that a bank robber tries to rob a bank and finds out its "cashless". Maybe they steal the pens? Or try to get them to write out a cashiers check? Then they have a problem with the printer and the triplicate forms they need to fill out.
Go into the biz of robbing banks for profit. Like in Sneakers intro but adjusted for 2022, more automated, robotic, human-decoupled.
It'll make DHS salivate when you prove that the need for high speed, AI drone defense is greater than currently is deployed.
You'd probably sell a full stack solution with a "Jolly Bank Robber Cookbook Manual 2022" to prove the risks going fwd along with successful live field tests.
