A 23-year old in Vietnam robbed a bank and the very next day posted on social media photos of himself standing outside a dealership with his brand new Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja.
Vietnamese Guy Robs Bank: Buys Bike The Next Day
You have to wonder at the intelligence of some people. Not necessarily the nerve, which needs to be pretty steady if you're going to rob a bank and successfully walk away with around $150,000. No, I'm talking about the overall intelligence and the recognition that certain actions after the robbery might not be in your own best interests!
On January 7th, a Vietnamese guy robbed a bank at gunpoint and came away with 3.5 Billion Dong (about $150,000: don't you just love foreign currencies! I'd love to be a billionaire!).
Fair play to the guy: you take a chance and get away with it. Well, up to a point anyway! It doesn't really help when you go out the very next day and buy yourself a brand new Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja and post about the purchase on your social media profile, especially when you are a known personality on there, which apparently he is in Vietnam!
While alarm bells might have started to ring at the dealership as a 23-year old plonks a huge wad of cash on the table to buy a bike, the act of posting those pictures on social media was what sunk him, especially when he was a known personality on SM and his followers recognised him in the police mugshots!
The police caught him a couple of days later, finding the bike, the remaining cash and the gun used used in the robbery.
Clever fellow!
