Violent criminals are released too soon all the time. All illegal immigrants are not criminals. If you stack up all the violent crimes each year, I'm sure the majority are domestic individuals. Why wasn't this guy deported -again. Good - valid- question, but how successful were all the prior...

Wow - I've had to listen to a week of immigration policy debate. Poor Kate Steinle, a positive force in the world ended. This is not an immigration issue. Yes she was murdered by someone who should have been deported, but I work in downtown SF. The city is crawling with mentally ill...

My opinion too. I scratch my head why people would buy this as the cover story and wish they hadn't. Illogical. I think people are better off getting the police involved but hope is stronger than logic when faced with horror.

Interesting thoughts. To operate an investment business post-Madoff - you would need to be pretty clean. I'm not sure what the cash limits are to take funds out of the US or into Puerto Rico, but I'm sure SS would have stayed within legal limits. And you can easily send a wire instead. Makes...

This is kind of my point. SS must have seemed calm cool and collected during this ordeal if he did this on the fly without alerting his Banker or his accountant of a problem. So I am pretty much set on this being a one time prearranged deal or a recurring transaction. That is the only...

Over 20 years a Banker, several in Private Banking (for the Elite/Wealthy) I never saw anyone take any short cut for any client. And frankly if an educated wealthy client of mine asked me to break the rules and potentially lose my job - I would have been very concerned by the request RED FLAG...

Basically this would be nearly impossible to do same day, quickly, and not cause a call by the Bank to SS, AIW, and/or the police. Probably all of the above. So this would have been preset to work. 1) No one has said this was preset 2) It does not make sense to need $40K for the martial...

Any deviation from policy can get a manager fired. To withdraw funds you must be an authorized signer on the account. To accept verbal instructions over the phone would generally need to be preset - i.e. agreement signed and on file. Unless the employee sent to the Bank was already an...

If my employer wanted me to be a cash delivery service I would ask him to buy me an armored car. I wouldn't like that responsibility with people potentially robbing me or other Murphy's law events. How would I pay it back if I "lost" it? I would definitely want to hand it to a live person and...

I think its telling that they mention the white bands. Visible bundles or not, there is really not a logical reason that all the white bands would not have been intact. It would be difficult to identify the mentioned "two bundles" without being able to see both bands. The bands are wide and...

The phone calls will likely lead to the answers. If SS was attempting to signal imoo he would not have involved the assistant/driver and maybe not NG when he could have used accountant or relatives ie smart trusted people. If as I believe he decided to comply hoping to save family and not...

Yes $40k would fit in pockets.

It is such odd story. W1 first said Bank of America which is so easy to verify/or disprove. Seems more likely from AIW safe due to times/logistics. But we shall know one day.

It sounds like it was Bank of America ...I onced managed one. Affluent or not the vaults are timed. This is to prevent bank employees for example being kidnapped and forced to rob banks at 3AM. Safe deposit boxes are sacred. People keep jewelry sentimental items and bank employees are not...

The cash was photographed at 9AM. Banks open at 9AM. Pretty tough to swing that....you must be authorized signer and sign card to be escorted to safe deposit box. A bank would never never bend this rule. They don't know what's in your box but you are informed that cash is not permitted to be...
