The Banco Río Job
The Great Buenos Aires Bank Heist is a fascinating read, and almost difficult to believe. It felt like a cross between the movies Ocean’s Eleven and Inside Man.
I’m drawn to articles about crime, it seems. And this one definitely doesn’t disappoint. The group used a great deal of planning and ingenuity to pull off their heist, all without the use of violence or firearms.
To make things even more interesting, it seemed that in some ways… it was better for those involved to have been caught, ultimately.
There is definitely an allure to robbing banks, in that there are so many interesting ways one could pull it off. Most lead to prison or worse, but the idea that you could do it without being caught seems to be what pulls people in.
Well, that and a bit of money I suppose.
