- StigNordas, on 10/09/2008, -3/+263Did he really need that last 83 cents?
- DragonForce4, on 10/09/2008, -8/+208buried as innacurate, he didn't actually take the money, but was kidnapped and forced to be part of the robbery
damn misleading titles - TeamoSupremo, on 10/09/2008, -1/+155In this economy, yes he did.
- mickaloha, on 10/10/2008, -8/+131That's nothing. The execs at banks in America stole 700 Billion and counting from the tax payers and they continue to take. If you think they will pay it back, you are delusional.
- AFelsinger, on 10/09/2008, -4/+74don't some ridiculously high percentage of bank robbers never get caught?
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -3/+73maybe he can bail us out
- mychaleg, on 10/09/2008, -6/+63upon returning home, he immediately downloaded NIN's 'The Slip'.
but seriously, it looks like he had been kidnapped/used and wasn't part of the heist. - Bastet62, on 10/09/2008, -4/+56Paulson will immediately sign him on to his committee.
- spritom, on 10/10/2008, -1/+45The FBI just knocked on my door for reading this thread
- Volatile36, on 10/10/2008, -1/+42Best robbery I've heard of is the Seattle Craigslist robbery a few weeks ago.
- Bith8654, on 10/10/2008, -0/+41Sounds like a pretty stupid kid to me.
- drgkstep, on 10/10/2008, -2/+43Perhaps one would be putting one's self at risk of being caught BY TALKING ABOUT IT ON DIGG!
- saranagati, on 10/10/2008, -1/+36A kid I sat next to in high school robbed a bank that was in the same parking lot as the police station with an pellet gun. He got away with it the first time but only got $10K. When he went back the second time he got $15k but the cops were waiting for him outside. So like any good bank robber he raised his pellet gun to the cops and was promptly killed.
- m0n0kr0m3, on 10/10/2008, -1/+34Take all you can, son....
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+33Is any of that true?
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -2/+31yea, i've thought about hatching a plan myself (in some delusional daydreams), cause almost all of those who get caught are repeat offenders. supposedly, the greed is what does it, not the original execution.
- datastorageguy, on 10/10/2008, -1/+29That's what you get for stealing someone's wireless you poopsnake.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+27that's the problem with these submitters....they don't actually read the articles!!!!
- ragnarok, on 10/10/2008, -2/+29 if any of you people would have read the article you would have know that he was force to do this.
" Police blamed the Northern Bank robbery on the Provisional IRA and yesterday's collapse means whoever carried out the heist has, in the words of one bank official, 'got clean away with it'.
Mr Ward was kept under surveillance and arrested almost a year after the raid. He may take legal action against the police.
His solicitor, Niall Murphy, said: 'The whole experience for himself and his family, who were victims of kidnapping, false imprisonment and robbery, was truly devastating.
'This has been compounded by his arrest and being put on trial for a crime he did not commit.'
It was on Sunday December 19, 2004, that three masked men arrived at the Ward family home in Poleglass, West Belfast.
Two men held the family hostage while Mr Ward was driven to the home of his supervisor Kevin McMullan, who was already being held.
Men posing as police officers had tied up Mr McMullan and his wife Kyran at gunpoint. She was taken away and held blindfold for more than 24 hours.
On the Monday morning, the two men were told by their captors to go to work and carry out their normal duties.
Acting on instructions, Mr Ward left the bank carrying a holdall containing about £1million and handed it to a man on the street, in what police believed was a dummy run.
Money was then loaded into crates and collected by a van in two loads from the bank's loading bay.
Explaining the decision not to present more evidence, prosecution counsel Gordon Kerr QC said the case had been based on circumstantial evidence which had been brought into question. " - elanthedon, on 10/09/2008, -1/+26well he didn't steal it, but still a pretty crazy story... dugg for the EXACT ammount *converted to dollars
- hoisonsauce, on 10/10/2008, -1/+22Is that the one where he got a bunch of people to dress in the same outfit he used during the robbery? That guy deserves a prize. Wait, he did get one.
- Clbull, on 10/10/2008, -1/+20Even with that money, he can't build a PC that would run it.
- brewer, on 10/10/2008, -1/+20Yeah, that happened about a mile or two from my house. Hasn't been caught yet. Kinda hope he doesn't. (it wasn't me).
- kolyana, on 10/10/2008, -0/+18Thank you - some one who actually read the article. The title is COMPLETELY mis-leading. I don't even think the submitter read the damned thing.
- securitymonkey, on 10/10/2008, -4/+21... as he killed another kitten.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -9/+25But can he play Crysis?
- Whackly, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13innertube escape ftw
- GeorgeStone2, on 10/10/2008, -3/+16With a toothpic...
- Olon97, on 10/10/2008, -3/+16That's nothing compared to your average U.S. CEO.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2008, -3/+15Like the Feds are really investigating comments on digg. Give me a break.
- Ender06, on 10/10/2008, -0/+11Well that's a new insult.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+11Thumbs up for poopsnake.
- Jasuus, on 10/10/2008, -4/+15The Feds fully investigate every comment on DIGG. Duh.
- monkeeofevil, on 10/10/2008, -3/+14While receiving a rimjob from Cheney
- leerayIG88, on 10/10/2008, -3/+13Wearing a straw hat
- starbuxadct, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10Then was subsequently arrested for illegal downloading.
- SSUK, on 10/10/2008, -1/+10It's a straight currency conversion. Each 1 GBP is worth 1.85~USD (or was, it's about 1.70 USD now). They just didn't round off the number after conversion.
- revjustin2, on 10/10/2008, -3/+12and hip-waders.
- switchmullet, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8at first glance i thought ur name was poopfrogs
- Leviathan433, on 10/10/2008, -5/+13Damn it feel good to be a gangsta.
- Hockey13, on 10/10/2008, -1/+9He went back to the SAME BANK?!?
- LostAngeles, on 10/11/2008, -0/+8They had to feed the meter for the getaway car
- mhummel, on 10/10/2008, -2/+9That was the amount once VAT was applied.
- Racer20, on 10/10/2008, -4/+11eldust = fail
- saranagati, on 10/11/2008, -1/+8Yah it's true, and yah the same bank a few months later. I think the reason he chose that bank was since it was in the police parking lot, the bank doesn't have the bullet proof glass between you and the teller.
- darkwing81, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6link?? . . .nevermind i googled it
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/ ...

- elanthedon, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6works for me
- cabdirazzaq, on 10/10/2008, -4/+10Buried. The keyword here is "accused". The title makes it seem as if they guy is guilty by default.
