The perps spent two painstaking months plotting their $200,000 stickup of a Queens check-cashing store last year — and theorized that switching races would help, authorities said.
So the crew turned to a well-known special-effects company CFX Composite Effects — which has worked on such flicks as “2 Guns” and “Wolverine’’ — for their disguises, officials said.
These three guys spent $2K on “white guy” masks; they knew “it takes money to make money”. However…
The major break in the case came after police discovered an e-mail from Byam to CFX offering a hearty endorsement after the robbery, according to police.
“I’m sending you this message to say I’m extremely pleased by CFX work on the mask,” he allegedly wrote.
“The realism of the mask is unbelievable.”
Thoughtful. And stupid.
Meanwhile, the crooks began blowing their $200,000 windfall on pricey Gucci and Louis Vuitton threads, authorities said. One member of the crew even forked over $11,000 for Rolex watch.
Pleasant mid-week greetings from drizzly Larryville, GN!
Continued thoughts of Elena, Mac, family and friends; Mama Mouse must have been very special.
The thought of RabBeet and K8-E concocting “schemes” together terrifies me for some reason. 😉
Why every good plan needs to include follow-through:
