Good for him !!! no bail , no fear and no prosecution…
Curious- Are tellers trained to hand over the money even if there is no weapon displayed? All it takes is a note to deliver the goods? Just wondering , as my concern is that this type of “robbery” will entice others to do the same. My sympathy to the Teller involved. I’m sure this was a frightful experience.
He will be released in a day if he gets caught. $3K for a night in jail. Not too bad.. Crime pays in NYC!
