I wish I'd come up with this idea! It would beat my crap pay as an IT consultant!

I should have become a lawyer at £300 an hour, as I just discovered the other day.

How much did each card let them take?

100 cards would be $90,000 from each!

And given that they're payroll cards, those would be from low-paid workers. I'd be surprised if any of them earn half that figure in a year.

And the banks tell us that they have 'good' security protocols?

This is why the mob exists

This is why the mob exists. If you steal $9 mil and the only risk you face is some time in jail, go for it. The risk/benefit is worth it. If you know you are going to end up in the Vegas desert beaten to death with a baseball bat, it is unlikely any theft is going to balance out this likely possibility. Hence, why we have the mob.
