Which next day? As we speak, they are in Kamiti trying their best not to drop the soap. Had they invested and 'retired' a couple of robberies ago, they would probably be living happily ever after. And it is not everyday you end up with a 30 Million heist. Some yield a few thousands due to many variables like the salary being picked by x instead of y the day of the robbery. You attack y and he only has 600/= and numerous files!
I am not advocating thuggery as attack means of raising capital but if you are stupid enough to be an armed thug, at least limit the level of your stupidity. Stupidity is not an everything or nothing scenario. You can be somewhere in between!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
