Heist Podcast

Let's talk about the set piece of almost every heist, the bank vault. As long as humans have had money, they've looked for ways to protect it.

Alright, it's time to delve into the granddaddy of all bank vaults. The gold-plated epitome of secure stashes. A place so impervious that its name has become synonymous with ultimate security. We're talking about the indomitable Fort Knox, my friends. So, just how secure is this fortress of solitude? The answer is: mind-bogglingly so.

If you've managed to pull off a successful heist and now find yourself in possession of a sizable haul, your next moves are crucial. Think of it as going through a rough break up — you need to lay low, be patient, and let things cool off. Law enforcement will undoubtedly be on high alert, searching for any leads or signs of unusual activity.
