Who says crime doesn't pay ?

[Lamp]

Pictures of a vast stash of American money said to total $207 million and taken in a raid on a drug dealer's house in Mexico. The pictures are authentic.

A BBC story from March 16 said the raid netted $205-million along with guns, drugs, and smaller amounts of cash in Euros and Mexican pesos. Seven persons were arrested and accused of illegally importing chemicals to make methamphetamines. Police say the raid took place in a mansion in an affluent part of Mexico City.

Holy fucking shit. I am in the wrong industry!

 

[WiZe^]

Just one sports-bag filled from that pile will set you up for life.....

I think we should set up a FHOT drugs cartel

 

[Ctuchik]

guess you forgot the fact that said drug dealer got CAUGHT! and thus lost all his cash...

sure, crime may pay in the extreme short term but you're stupid if you think you wont get caught sooner or later.

 

[Lamp]

I wonder how much of that cash will find its way into police pockets....

 

[CorNokZ]

lol, $205-million?! That's like 205£ with the current value of the dollar?

I'd snatch the few euros tbh..

 

[ileks]

Why don't these people quit while they are ahead?

No, you're stupid if you get caught sooner or later.

There's a point in each "crime spree"(disregarding bank jobs etc, quick crimes) where you're "set for life and scot free", but dumb people keep going after that for greed.

What good is it if you don't get to spend it?

Everyone says they are greedy i would make a million quid and get out before getting caught. Fact untill you know what it fells like to make 20 grand in 10 minutes work you can't say that. Making that much money becomes addictive and it would take a special person to turn there back on a £1mil a week. When you finish a drug deal you prolly think i got away with it this time i will the next. People like the guy in Layer Cake make the money and leave do not exist i don't think.

Hehe, the thing is, they do exist. There's plenty of "unsolved big heists" etc on the records, but the thing is, fame=caught

You don't hear about good criminals because they are good criminals.

And also, the best job is one that noone knows about.

That could actually work.

All the big crimes in the UK seem to be solved Brinks Mat, Great Train Robbery, Securitas depot robbery , Millennium Dome. If you can show me any bigger robberies in the UK that are unsolved i would be surprised. I think the idea someone can live a life of crime and escape scott free is too much like a bad movie for me.

I also don't believe we only hear about robberies that are solved so suggesting we only know about something becuase it goes wrong sounds like a quote from a special forces film.

One of Britain's biggest successful robberies was executed by raiders who broke into a Knightsbridge safe deposit centre in central London, and stripped it of contents estimated at well over £30 million ($43 million) in July 1987.

This is the robbery from the film the Bank Job but its all speculation as no one knows how much they got.

If you're going to do a job, do one, make it big, then dissolve into annonymity for the rest of your life.

All that money actually looks sexually appealing. Even with a blokes face on the front

Can highly recommend the film if anyone hasnt seen it yet.

One of the biggest problems with getting away is that its so hard to just dissapear... you almost always leave some sort of electronic footprint these days when you go somewhere...

this was an interesting case , the owner of the villa was in USA at the time of the raid , first thing he does is to claim the money is part of some campaign money intended for the presidential election (and that the money belonged to the government wich indirectly implies calderon).

then after he is detained on request from the mexicans we hear nothing till the us district attourney starts to complain that the mexicans arent supplying them with any evidence.

anyhows , story kept getting weirder , atm he is only facing one charge , conspiracy to traffic 500 grams of cocaine from mexico to usa.

If you like this kind of thing you might like Cocaine Cowboys. A documentary about Miami and the drug trade in the 70s and 80s and supposedly the inspiration behind Scarface and Miami Vice.
