a middle aged family man, who has apparently built up his own business through hard work, is described as wealthy and has enough money to own a motor business and a huge farm decides to commit crime.. he doesn’t seem to have previously been involved in anything major
He teams up with a load of hard nuts, they stalk another hard working family for months; rough them up and threaten small children with loaded weapons and death in order to steal an unfeasibly large amount of cash = then after all this they leave millions (and lots of other clues) carelessly lying about all around SE London for the cops to find..
they might as well have walked into Belmarsh and asked to be locked up TBH…..
its not even that he was a desparate crack head or other druggie who would need the money and as a used car dealer he must have realised that so much cash would be hard to hide or disperse quickly enough..
is this the real legacy of thatcherite business ethics I wonder?
Can’t help but think these people aren’t exactly “master criminals” and no better than muggers but with someone elses money…. TBH he seems quite pathetic now; he’s fucked up his own life (even if he gets off some way he will have to look over his shoulder), his families lives and the familes of everyone involved, both the bank workers and the people who got caught…
