One of the biggest bank heists in history

Good morning, just watch this video instead of any film!

One of the biggest bank heists in history shows how the Defense in Depth principle works — and what happens if it's not done properly

In 2003, a group of thieves pulled off one of the largest robberies ever, stealing valuables worth between $100 million and $1 billion from a diamond center

Shocking Facts:

  • Stolen amount
  • Operation time: they spent 3 days inside the vault, feeling so safe that they took snack breaks, went outside, and came back. They even ignored some valuables
  • Unusual tricks: Used hairspray, double-sided tape, and other very clever methods
  • Bypassed 10 layers!

The Best Part - how they got caught
