Don't most of us ever wanted to be a bank robber?


Don't most of us ever wanted to be a bank robber?

reply

No, not even when I was a kid. I even knew back then that stealing is illegal!

reply

No but definitely wish I could magically have millions of dollars in the bank.

Nope, the risk/reward profile isn't great. The average bank robber takes around 7K, and risks 10+ years in jail.

Plus it's morally wrong to take other people's money.

The typical bank robbery can take up to $50,000 in cash, but usually less. Internet scamming is projected to net $6 Trillion in 2021. All figures are in US dollars. Consider this: bank robbery is also usually armed robbery. Internet theft is not—yet.

You have to be a DIMWIT to want to rob a bank. So, no, John, most of us don’t wanna rob a bank and go out in a blaze of glory and blood.
