Reply to comment by GratefulPhish42024-7 in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat

8 people were caught of 25 and they recovered 1/8 of the stolen cash.

Such a shame they only managed to recover 1/10th of the cash

I mean, it could be worse, at least they got that 1/12 of the cash!
