Wino Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Who in his right mind would withdraw $2 million in cash? I thought only drug dealers used cash. TAIPEI (Reuters) – A man in Taiwan was robbed of more than $2 million in cash that he had just withdrawn from the bank, a police official said on Tuesday. Three masked gunmen robbed the 50-year-old victim on Monday afternoon in the southern city of Tainan, logging the highest-value robbery in city history with a heist of T$77 million (2.39 million), said a police investigation official surnamed Chang. The gunmen approached the victim, surnamed Tsai, as he drove from the bank to his watch shop nearby, Taiwan's Central News Agency said. One shot a shop employee in the foot during a scuffle to fight off the gunmen, the agency said. Police are looking for the three men while advising people in the 769,000-population city to be more vigilant. "We're putting out a notice on public safety, telling citizens that we're ready stand beside them for protection as they use the bank," Chang said.

Beer Chang Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Obviously they were targeting him. Who knows, maybe he's even insured for the cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
