"It's a win/win scenario."

The average loot in a bank robbery is $10-15k. Good luck paying rent and food for ten years with that.
Klewch
Ha this is a life hack in 2020
Haiddon
I think I heard that banks don't usually have more than 2k outside the vault at a time
penYakki
seen it a million times now

This is the exact plot of Going In Style. The protagonists basically decide they would get free housing if they fail,so why not?Good movie.

Check out a podcast from Criminal - EPISODE 31: AMERICAN DREAM (11.27.2015). It's about a well educated guy who robbed several banks
neil137
10 years? nah, banks dont have that kind of cash in house
sisisic
Unless they shoot you
IDontReallyEvenCare
Most tellers don't have enough in their drawers to make robbing a bank worth it unless you decide to hit the vault. Even then it's not much.
Ssssssssssss
Ten years? Ahahahaha.
hedgewizard
If you're successful, you get on average about $6000. Not really enough to live on for 10 years.

You could fuck it up and not get caught, then you could still have trouble with rent/food bills
Earlkay
Then you confess.
BillPostersIsAnInnocentMan
you CAN, doesn't mean you would. post says you WILL do this or that.

Then try again, if you're desperate, you're desperate

Some people are perpetual fuckups *shrug*

As a bank employee, could you please not? That's a lot of fucking paperwork.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
"Could you not?" Bank teller to robber.

Friend was robbed once. Got a few days off so that was nice and free much needed therapy.
04FoxSake
You receive frequent training in the event of a robbery, with all kinds of scenarios, with the hope that even part of it might stick in
04FoxSake
the event that it happens. A coworker was a bit traumatized, glad we offer free therapy as well. I hope I can stay calm if it happens to me.
Atria
I hope so too! But we have enough training and we know to just give them the money. I can't say how I would be after the fact though.
04FoxSake
It's this juggling act of following protocol and reducing loss without putting your life or the life of others at risk. Yikes.

Though noble of intent, noncompliance would, in most cases, end in employee termination. Good guy bank customer would get extra lollipops :)

Read about a local man who robbed a bank for a $1, waited for police. Said he had no health insurance, did it so he would receive treatment.

It's common practice in northern states like montana or North Dakota for the homeless to commit petty crimes to winter in jail.

More like Hep C or tuberculosis.

There was a South African serial killer and rapist who contracted AIDs from one of his victims which he then gave to his wife and their 1/?
Earlkay
Child contracted it from birth. Once he was caught they were too poor for treatment but he received in it prison and outlived them. 2/2

A successful bank robbery yields around $4000 on average. Good luck stretching that over 10 years.
hurrayforboobies
Yeah i got about 3500 but those basterds claimed i stole half a million!
Ssssssssssss
They're seriously underestimating the prison term for robbing a bank, actually.
ideologist
If you aren't armed, you'll do 3 years
Velexis
Rob a gun-store first then?
04FoxSake
Lesbiansass
No sane person robs a gun store in america unless theyre stealing and getting the fuck out or fueled by ketamine and an extra chromosome.
youcantproveit
Even saying "I have a gun/bomb", having your hand in your jacket faking that you have a gun, is grounds for being tried as armed robbery.
ideologist
"Give me the money" on a note gets you 3 years, 18 months and then paroled
accountjustforcommenting
Then just say "I'm robbing you with my hands!"
youcantproveit
The point was, even acting like you're armed, makes it armed robbery in the US. If you rob a bank, absolutely say you don't have weapon lol
