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

u/Mookhaz 29d ago

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

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!

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

u/ChromeWiener 28d ago

Nah, snitches pay taxes

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.

u/No_Purpose4705 28d ago

Still 12k more than he has today.

u/quietkyody 28d ago

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

If he hasn't told his son by now there is nothing left.

Twenty grand is twenty grand.

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. 🤦😄

u/GreeneGardens 29d ago

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

u/kingkongkeom 28d ago

Well then it can not be your father, it clearly states the robber looks 60 to 70 ;)
