No dude, it's organized crime from the highest levels. When we had the "riots" here they not only smashed and grabbed, but brought in rental trucks and proceeded to dislodge every single ATM machine from its moorings as well as trying to knock off the banks themselves.
I know personally of two banks that were breached and I got arrested trying to protect one of them when I have every credential to be there. The cops that took us away are now no longer with the department and my case was dropped, go figure.
Discount the high end jewelry and all the other bullshit but someone higher is tugging the strings. It's not the people you would think it is but we are at their mercy.
I'm not going to speculate but be damned skippy that it's not just a bunch of wayward teenagers.
I was for sure that they'd be able to trace all the cash from the ATM's and find it just like they do on the television dramas but to my dismay, it's been two years and nothing but crickets from the DOJ.
Just like those Cartier diamonds and Jimmy Chu shoes, there's always a number somewhere on that mother fucker with common currency being the benchmark for everything.
I'm not into conspiracy theories but sometimes it's just a little too obvious.
