DevX sent a great link on a very Innovative New School Heist:

In a move that could be right out of a Hollywood movie, a brazen crook apparently used a Craigslist ad to hire a dozen unsuspecting decoys to help him make his getaway following a robbery outside a bank on Tuesday. He then made his escape in an inner tube on the Skykomish River.

The robbery happened about 11 a.m. on an armored truck guard at a Bank of America branch.

The robber sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed a bag of money the guard was carrying and ran about 100 yards to the creek that runs into the Skykomish River, shedding clothes as he ran.

But apparently, the robber had planned ahead. In case anyone was hot on his trail, he had at least a dozen unsuspecting decoys waiting nearby, which he recruited on Craigslist.

“I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour,” said Mike, who saw a Craigslist ad last week looking for workers for a road maintenance project in Monroe.

He said he inquired and was e-mailed back with instructions to meet near the Bank of America in Monroe at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He also was told to wear certain work clothing.

“Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt,” he said.

Mike showed up along with about a dozen other men dressed like him, but there was no contractor and no road work to be done. He thought they had been stood up until he heard about the bank robbery and the suspect who wore the same attire.

Great Heist. Style all the way. No one got hurt (really) and a testament to planning and flair.

Technology makes heists more difficult. But if you are an innovator, you can use technology to your advantage.

Like Bank of America doesn’t have enough problems.

A manager of an armored truck company helped the police solve a $330,000 robbery when he noticed that surveillance images of the robber resembled one of the company’s employees, the police said Wednesday.

The employee was arrested at his home late Tuesday on robbery charges. The cash was not recovered.

The suspect was employed at Dunbar Armored, and the robbery occurred when a Dunbar truck was making a delivery to the M&T Bank branch at 397 First Avenue, near 23rd Street, on Tuesday morning. The Dunbar guard, a woman, was accosted and overpowered in the bank vestibule.

The suspect, who had been a driver for Dunbar Armored for about nine months, asked on Monday to have the next day off, according to a criminal complaint.

On Tuesday, the guard and a driver had parked the truck on East 23rd Street near the bank about an hour after the bank had opened at 8:30 a.m. When the guard, whose role was known as a “hopper,” jumped down from the truck and entered the bank’s vestibule carrying the cash in a nylon bag, she passed The suspect, who was wearing a hood and standing near the automated teller machines, the police said.

The police said The suspectattacked the guard from behind, holding her with his left arm while grabbing her gun with his right hand. He snatched the bag of cash and fled, while the guard ran into the bank, the police said.

Cassidy – I’m a Hustla

Down Economy Game: I ain’t the one

I am not the one, the one to get played like a Mortage Broker
See I’m from the street, so I know whats up
On these silly games that’s played by the fly women
I’m only happy when I’m going up in them
But you know, I’m a menace to virginity
But girls in 80’s boots are so fly to me
So I step to them, with aggression
Listen to the G, and learn a lesson today
See, they think we G’s are narrow minded
Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded
So I strut over and say how you doing?
See I’m only down for swooping, but you know
Ya gotta play it off cool
Cause if they catch you slipping, you’ll get schooled
And theyll get you for your CASH, son
Next thing you know you’re getting their hair and they tans done
Fool, and they’ll let you show em off
But when it comes to sex, they got a good cough
Or a headache, its all give and no take
Run out of money, and watch your heart break
They will drop you like a bad habit
Cause a G with money yo, they gotta have it
Messing with me though, they get none
You can’t juice Michael Mason girl, cause I am not the one

[girl, you got to get these G’s for all the money
You can honey. cause if they ain’t got no money, they can’t
Do nothing for me but get out of my face.]

[i know what you mean girl, it ain’t nothing right jumping off
Unless he got dollars]

I never used to wonder
How the hell a weesh Mortgage Broker get a fine girls number
I knew he’s getting juiced for his ducats
I tell a girl in a minute yo, I drive a bucket
And wont think nothing of it
She can ride or walk, either leave it or love it
I show her that I’m not the o, the n-e, say
I’m a ruthless G double G G
Cause I’m gaming on a female that’s gaming on me
You know I spell girl with a S
A G like me is only out for one thing
I think with my ding-a-ling, but I won’t bring no
Champagne to your doorstep, when we going out
Cause you’ll take it for granted, no doubt
And after the date, I’m going to want to do the wild thing
You want Le Bernardin huh? I’m thinking Burger King
And when I take you, you get frustrated
You cant juice Michael Mason and you hate it
But you see, I don’t go nuts
Over girls like you with the big ol butts
It start coming out the pocket, to knock it
But when the damage is done…
You can only lay me girl, you can’t play me girl
For the simple fact that, I’m not the one

[i don’t care how they look if they got money,
We can hook up but they ain’t getting none.]

[yeah I just make em think they gonna get some,
Play up they mind a lil bit, and get that money.]

[oh Michael, can I have some money pleeeease?]

Give you money why bother
Cause you know I’m looking nothing like your father
Girl, I cant be played or ganked
Ganked means getting took for your bank
Or your gold or your money or something
Nine times outta ten, shes giving up everything
They get mad when I put it in perspective
But let’s see if my knowledge is effective
To the G’s man they robbing you blind
Cause they fine with a big behind, but pay it no mind

But that’s what you get trying to play me for my money
Now don’t you feel used
But I don’t give hoot, huh, because I knock boots
You shouldn’t be, so damn material
And try to milk Michael Mason like cereal
Now how many times do I have to say it
Cause if I have to go get a gun
You girls will learn I don’t burn
You think I’m a sucka, but I am not the one

Just playing.

Tech Crim Crews

I have written about Tech Crim Crews before: Criminality in The Luxury Sector

Here are the The 10 Most Mysterious Cyber Crimes

The best criminal hacker is the one that isn’t caught—or even identified. These are 10 of the most infamous unsolved computer crimes (that we know about).

The most nefarious and crafty criminals are the ones who operate completely under the radar. In the computing world security breaches happen all the time, and in the best cases the offenders get tracked down by the FBI or some other law enforcement agency.

But it’s the ones who go uncaught and unidentified (those who we didn’t highlight in our Cyber Crime Hall Fame that are actually the best. Attempting to cover your tracks is Law-Breaking 101; being able to effectively do so, that’s another story altogether.

When a major cyber crime remains unsolved, though, it probably also means that those of us outside the world of tech crime solving may never even know the crime occurred.

These are some of the top headline-worthy highlights in the world of unsolved computing crime—cases in which the only information available is the ruin left in their wake.

The WANK Worm (October 1989)
Possibly the first “hacktivist” (hacking activist) attack, the WANK worm hit NASA offices in Greenbelt, Maryland. WANK (Worms Against Nuclear Killers) ran a banner (pictured) across system computers as part of a protest to stop the launch of the plutonium-fueled, Jupiter-bound Galileo probe. Cleaning up after the crack has been said to have cost NASA up to a half of a million dollars in time and resources. To this day, no one is quite sure where the attack originated, though many fingers have pointed to Melbourne, Australia-based hackers.

Ministry of Defense Satellite Hacked (February 1999)
A small group of hackers traced to southern England gained control of a MoD Skynet military satellite and signaled a security intrusion characterized by officials as “information warfare,” in which an enemy attacks by disrupting military communications. In the end, the hackers managed to reprogram the control system before being discovered. Though Scotland Yard’s Computer Crimes Unit and the U.S. Air Force worked together to investigate the case, no arrests have been made.

CD Universe Credit Card Breach (January 2000)
A blackmail scheme gone wrong, the posting of over 300,000 credit card numbers by hacker Maxim on a Web site entitled “The Maxus Credit Card Pipeline” has remained unsolved since early 2000. Maxim stole the credit card information by breaching CDUniverse.com; he or she then demanded $100,000 from the Web site in exchange for destroying the data. While Maxim is believed to be from Eastern Europe, the case remains as of yet unsolved.

Military Source Code Stolen (December 2000)
If there’s one thing you don’t want in the wrong hands, it’s the source code that can control missile-guidance systems. In winter of 2000, a hacker broke into government-contracted Exigent Software Technology and nabbed two-thirds of the code for Exigent’s OS/COMET software, which is responsible for both missile and satellite guidance, from the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C. Officials were able to follow the trail of the intruder “Leaf” to the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany, but that’s where the trail appears to end.

These guys have it so easy compared to us Heistmen with ties to the old school.

Kurtis Blow – If I Ruled The World

Banksy’s Bomb in London

Click Here to Buy Banksy’s Wall and Piece

Five works by cult graffiti artist Banksy failed to sell at a weekend auction after doubts were raised about their authenticity.

On its website, auctioneer Lyon & Turnbull said that the five top lots by Banksy with a combined estimate of 200-275,000 pounds ($360-495,000) and called “street works” because they were removed from their original urban settings, went unsold.

It was unclear whether their failure to find buyers was a result of the row over authenticity or reflected broader uncertainty in the contemporary art market caused by the financial crisis. Lyon & Turnbull were unavailable for comment.

Before Saturday’s London sale, the auctioneer said the five main Banksy’s on offer were genuine, even though the only authorized verification body had declined to confirm that they were by the hugely successful British artist.

Pest Control said it would not approve any street pieces removed from their original settings, partly to crack down on fakes and partly to protect the original concept.

His work became so valuable that several street pieces were salvaged, including a painting attributed to Banksy on a wall in London that fetched 208,100 pounds ($383,000) in an online sale. The cost of removing the wall and replacing it was not included.

The pieces didn’t sell because of authenticity, not the worlds financial situation. In my opinion.
