Thread: Bank Security Van Guard On Run With £10m

If they are all 10 euro notes,that is 1 mill notes at one gramme each makes a total weight oh 1 metric tonne. A bit heavy to get in a suitcase.

he is not alone,
me thinks a couple of people involved to distribute this large amount.

A note doesn't weigh a gram.

He simply has to bury most of it.

GO 4 IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but this is Ocean's 11 stuff, no-one hurt, one guy acting alone. No doubt he had the cosmetic surgery and false passports pre-arranged as well and is on his way to Thailand as we speak.

I'm rooting for him. T-shirts are hilarious.

He should start a website.....post photos of himself on the run in various locations and accept donations....swap 3/4 of a euro for 1 euro.....launder it quick smart and become a folk hero

A 500 euro note only weighs 1.1 gram, making 1 million euro weigh only 2.2 kilos! (2000x1.1gram)
A 500 euro note measures 160x82x0.12mm making 1 million euros only the size of a large brick. (160x82x240mm)

How can one convert all that cash and use it without suspicion?
Even just handing over a brick of Euros will cause concern.

Cool! Very doable then. Lets see what happens...10 million is enough to never have to worry about anything ever again.

^^It would have to go in to the big world money washing machine, probably get 60 cent to the Euro if he can find the right connection.

You just happen to know the going rate...Noodles.

It could be as low as 40 cent to the Euro given the current state of the economy, that would still put him out on the pavement with just under 4.5 million dollars of clean money.

11 million, the headline of the OP states the value in GBP. And yes I agree, the notes could be in any denomination.

€11.6m (approximately £10.3m)

France has a new anti-hero: bank robber Tony Musulin | News & Politics | News & Comment | The First Post

For ten years Tony Musulin worked for the Loomis security firm in France. The 39-year-old had a spotless record and apparently led a dull life. But that all changed on Thursday morning after a routine pick-up from a branch of the Banque de France in Lyon.

Musulin, along with two colleagues, had collected around €11.6m (approximately £10.3m) from the bank before driving to a second bank for another collection. Musulin stayed inside the van while his two assistants disappeared inside; when the pair came out a few minutes later, the van - and Musulin - were nowhere to be seen.

Three hours later the van was found abandoned and lunchtime news bulletins spoke of a heist in which a security guard had been kidnapped.

By Friday morning, however, another scenario had emerged. Police now suspected that far from being held hostage by a ruthless gang of robbers, Musulin was secreted in a safe house surrounded by 49 sacks of cash and sporting a very broad smile.

It has since been claimed that Musulin, thought to be acting alone, planned his daylight robbery well, choosing a day when he was the senior of the three guards, and when the money for collection was in new bills of which the bank had no record.

In addition, Musulin had cleared out his own bank accounts and removed any incriminating documents from his modest apartment.

Musulin's colleagues have since spoken of a "rather odd" man, who rarely socialised with them and spent much of his spare time working out at a local gym or moaning about his lot in life. "He found it very unfair that we were badly paid," a colleague explained on national radio. "He said the other day, 'They'll pay - the bank, the bosses. We'll have them'."

One aspect of the case exercising investigators is how a man on a monthly salary of €2,000 was able to buy a €160,000 Ferrari last April.

"A modest wage but a big expenditure, obviously it's something that concerns us," said a police spokesman. As for his own bank accounts, which Musulin emptied in the last week of October, police would like to know how they came to contain around €100,000.
Meanwhile, Musulin's crime has touched a revolutionary nerve in the national psyche and his audacity is being lauded on the internet. By Sunday more than 1,500 people had signed up to a 'Tony Musulin fan club' on Facebook with his supporters praising a non-violent robbery for which, even if he is caught, he faces only three to five years in prison.

Others have asked what the difference is between Musulin's crime and that of some of the world's bankers. T-shirts are also for sale on the internet - for €22 - with a picture of Musulin's face above the slogan 'Best Driver of 2009'.

Perhaps the mood of the nation is best summed up by a comment posted on the site of the daily newspaper Le Parisien: "Good move, well pulled off."
