Bank Robber

Robbing a bank sounds like hard work! It's not exactly the safest way to earn a living, and you have to get all dressed up for it. But if you take the electronic route, you can make a few bucks from your pajamas. It's effective, too: In 2010, 390 banking fraud-related cases were found by the FBI. The thieves tried to get away with $220 million, and ended up with about $70 million of that. Not great odds, but hey, it's $70 million more than they had before. This infographic breaks down how they did it. (Note for robbers: please don't do this.) (Additional note for potential victims: maybe it's time to update that virus software?)

Jail them all and for those who come up for parol, allow them to hack their way out of prision, lol.
Sad part is this scheme uses the gullibleness of people not once, but twice to achieve this goal.
Thanks for the inspiration PopSci...
If you can't pull it off the old-fashioned way, you don't deserve to keep the money.
Put down the weapon. The little pink piggy knows nothing!!! Easy! Easy!
If he pulls the trigger from there, they both lose...
