They will have to find rich shady people to buy these from them and likely hire some middle man to do transactions. I'm just saying good luck unloading these if they don't get caught first.

I hate thieves but to pull off something this big you gotta have some big fucking stones.

They have upped it to 136 mill now.

Dude probably already had a fence in place before he robbed the place. I would sell for 25 mil and get the fuck out of dodge. That's a pretty sweet severance package.

136 mil includes stuff the police investigators and claims adjuster took
