For a bunch of supposedly very intelligent people, their overly complicated heist plan never took into account that the robber wouldn't be able to get away with the money?
shareAnd now there is no one to ask because I believe they are all dead. I know that Marjorie died.
shareThey were following him. They would wait for him to die (so he doesn't get a cut of the money) then take the money from him. They thought up this complicated plan but if you can't steal the money in the first place then that's where it all falls down.
shareHe expect to channel it through the focal point of the ticket monies. Because he does not handle the monies!
sharethey were insane, rothstein & diehl-armstrong. trying to make sense of it, even if they were still alive would have been fruitless.
shareBill Rothstei's brother (John?) said Bill was an intelligent guy except he had no common sense. They must've thought he would be able to get away fo get somewhere unfollowed where the trap would go off and they'd swoop in and get the money.
He was supposedly stopped by police and there for about a half hour. They make it seem like it was a short standoff but it wasn't. So if he got away they would've had time to get it. He was never going to survive.
Did you miss the GET AWAY CAR!!!!
A GEO METRO!!!!!!!
It's a miracle the cops caught him.
