It was safe to say that he could no longer live with the guilt.

0:13.4

The stress, the fear of being caught, all of it was just a bit too much.

0:19.0

A few weeks earlier, he had pulled off one of the greatest heists in history, and it had been

0:24.0

way too easy.

The 26-year-old bank employee had simply showed up to work with a box, telling his coworkers

0:31.2

that it was a new microwave that he had picked up that morning.
