A former Delta Airlines worker and his crony accused of stealing a bag containing more than $258,000 from JFK Airport “made a tremendous mistake” – leaving receipts behind in their getaway car that led to their arrests, prosecutors said as their trial kicked off Wednesday.

The FBI found the car with the incriminating receipts five days after the Sept. 24, 2019 heist and arrested then-Delta ground services worker Quincy Thorpe and his pal, Emanuel Asuquo Okon, who are now on trial in Brooklyn federal court for the theft of the Miami-bound cash – which has not been recovered.

“The money was gone but the defendants had made a tremendous mistake,” prosecutor John Vagelatos said during opening statements Wednesday.

You just can’t trust these baby far-left wingnuts. A generation or two of snot-nosed thieves and liars.

A former Delta Airlines employee is ready when you are!

All Charges will be dropped by the DA, as they were against two of the three TSA agents caught stealing from luggage recently in Miami.

If they were TSA, charges would be dropped.

Who gives out receipts for stolen money?

“Miami-bound cash”

What is this, the 1980s?

Truer words have never been said.

Idiot criminal: Gimme all your money.

There's an odd similarity between these two. I just can't figure it out..

Remember in the movie “Goodfellas”, they pulled off a huge heist of money from JFK. Maybe these guys were inspired by that movie?

Yes.

I believe most major Hollywood productions have deliberately targeted the minds of Americans in this way, and that the intention has been to induce wrongful behavior.
