2. Banco Central Burglary (2005) amount stolen: $70 million https://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/banco-central-burglary1.jpg This one actually lands in the Guinness book of records for the greatest robbery of a bank. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/greatest-robbery-of-a-bank In 2006, a group of criminals numbering in the dozens banded together for the creative Brazilian bank robbery. The gang of burglars had rented an empty property in the centre of the city and put up a sign indicating it was a landscaping company selling both natural and artificial grass as well as plants, before digging a tunnel underground to their intended target- the base of the bank. The 250 foot tunnel was expertly constructed and had sophisticated lighting and even an air conditioning system. After three months of digging, the thieves finally broke into the vault and made off with what was equivalent to $70 million dollars. |
1. Central Bank of Iraq robbery by Saddam Hussein (2003) amount stolen: US$1 billion https://a.abcnews.go.com/images/US/gty_Saddam_Hussein_nt_111109_wg.jpg The most shocking bank robbery of the 21st century based on the amount stolen and the complete brainless effort that it takes for a dictator to drain his own country’s bank accounts. On the day before the bombing of Iraq by coalition forces on March 19, 2003, Saddam Hussein sent his son, Qusay, to make a withdrawal from the Central Bank of Iraq with the help of a note, thinking that he owns the bank. The process was simple, and bank personnel consented to the request because of fear. The 5-hour withdrawal period summed over $100 bills that amounted to over $1 billion. Approximately $650 million was later found hidden in walls in Saddam Hussein's palace by US troops. . It is believed that this was the bulk of the stolen money. The remaining money is currently unaccounted for. |
I was watching 44 minutes recently and then i got an inspiration to compile this list....in the process i came across some mean guys and some brilliant ones too to the extent that the 'hollywood shootout' couldn't even make my list again. because what i realized was that the greatest robberies were not the ones filled with violence like the Lekki/Ikorodu type but the types were little amount of violence but with a great plot/plan is carried out to cart away great sums of money. credits: http://list25.com/25-biggest-robberies-raids-and-heists-ever/ http://www.toptenz.net/the-top-ten-bank-robberies-of-the-21st-century.php http://www.2spare.com/item_60496.aspx http://backgroundchecks.org/15-most-outrageous-bank-robberies-of-all-time.html ok lets go!
