Absolutely incredible, like a movie. A team of countless accomplices/ fall-guys, most with no criminal record and even less smarts, coordinated by a mysterious international ringleader who had hacked bank withdrawal limits to allow a huge global team to make thousands of simultaneous ATM transactions with faked cards. Dumb dudes got caught after both trying the scheme a second time - the first in December the second in February - then later blowing the cash conspicuously on nice watches and stuff, not to mention taking pictures of themselves with piles of cash. The local New York ringleader was killed after escaping to the Dominican Republic, where his in-laws botched a robbery attempt. Amazing.
