Son of Sam law?

Based on the real life Loomis Fargo ex-employee was involved as a 'consultant' in the film, was he paid to tell his side of the story for the script? If he did, does it goes against the Son of Sam law? Also, if 2 millions are still unaccounted from the heist, does it make sense that part of the movie profits are sent back to the bank/ holders that were robbed because of the crime?

Does the real Loomis Fargo employee still has a statute of limitation for the missing money? Can the final closing scene of Zack throwing a barrel full of money into a river can be used against the real life character?

I wouldn't use this movie as an accurate guide for what really went down. A lot of that was totally exaggerated (in some of the wrong places) to mine more laughs out of an already humorous story.
I wish they stuck to the original story because it was entertaining by itself and would have made a better comedy.
