How did they fit the all the money in 2 bags?
$30 million in two police dufflebags?
shareHe said that there are 5000 and 1000 dollar bills. Let's say that there are 50% of 5000$ bills and 50% of 1000$ bills. Let's presume that there is 100 stacks of cash. 50 stacks of 5000$ bills and 50 of 1000$ bills. One stack has 100 bills. So, 5000$ x 100 bills x 50 stacks = 25.000.000$, plus the other 50 stacks x 100 bills x 1000$ = 5.000.000$. Banks normally wrap bills in roughly half inch-high stacks of 100 bills each. I think that you can put that easily in two duflebags this size : 10"H x 9.5"D x 20"L. :)
shareNot a chance!
You actually SEE the amount of money when the safe is opened.......no way could all that be squeezed into 2 bags.
Remember the film Heat? Remember the trouble they had filling the bags.......and almost weighed them down?
I'd have accepted $10m..............but $30m wasn't going to fit
2 points:
1) If you saw Way of the Gun - they had $15M in 3 large duffels that weighed >100lb each (seemingly) in $100s - and according to that director, that was 100% legit. If this was all $1000 and $5000 bills, it would have been 1/10th to 1/50th the size of that haul.
2) I agree - the amount of cash we see in the safe does not appear to be able to fit into the bags UNLESS the safe is only 1 bill deep (a shallow shelf) - and thus, it's just one layer of bills deep, and not piles of cash like it appears.

Good luck finding a $1,000 or a $5,000 bill. No high-denomination bill has been printed since the 40s and the federal reserve discontinued them as currency in 1969.
The highest denomination that would be in that safe would be a $100 bill. share
There are actual higher bills of currency but they are only used for government transactions
Ribbons and detours meant nothing to me
