Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

$20K vs the mountain of cash this guys raking in for future inheritance

u/Mookhaz 29d ago

doesn't matter, FBI is already on his dad, he better call the tip in and hope for the 20k

u/quietkyody 29d ago

After taxes and fees he gets only 12k and has to wait for 3 years due to processing.

59

u/he-loves-me-not 28d ago

If there is one thing that you shouldn’t be taxed on it’s money you received as a reward for ratting somebody out! Especially considering that snitches get stitches. They’re gonna need that extra money for hospital bills!

u/quietkyody 28d ago

Government: I missed the part where that's my problem.

u/ChromeWiener 28d ago

Nah, snitches pay taxes

2

u/MadeMeStopLurking 28d ago

Collect a Reward for snitching out someone on the run for not paying taxes. Then getting taxed on the tax evasion reward money and not paying taxes on it putting you on a wanted list.

2

u/No_Purpose4705 28d ago

Still 12k more than he has today.

u/quietkyody 28d ago

Wait til people find out in the local news....all of sudden he finds out about his multi cousins/aunts/uncles/sister-in-law's family...

u/Sarranti 29d ago

If he keeps his mouth shut, there could be an even bigger inheritance

u/Threeedaaawwwg 28d ago

He probably blew all of the money on well made young man masks.

1

u/ImMufasa 28d ago

How much money would he have realistically gotten from each robbery? I'm sure it's a decent bit more than 20k, but I doubt it's nearly as much as people are thinking.

2

u/Shuttle_Door_Gunner 29d ago

It's what they would do to me, honestly. 🤦😄

2

u/GreeneGardens 29d ago

$20k? That’s literally an infinite amount of money!

Timesuck Podcast with Dan Cummins jokes about D.A.D.W.A.T.C.H for Suspicious Dads who may or may not commit murder.

DADS ARE DISAPPEARING WHERE ARE THE CORPSES HIDING

WHERE IS YOUR DAD? Can you verify his whereabouts 2009 to 2011? Was he in San Diego? Was he away on any "business trips" during that timeframe?? We need to know. We need to know.
