The weight of $1 million in $100 bills alone is about 22 pounds (10 kilograms), according to testimony from a U.S. Treasury official to Congress. If the cash were in various denominations, like $5s, $10s and $20s, the weight of $1 million in cash could be closer to 250 pounds (115 kilograms), which could bring the overall weight of last weekend's haul to a whopping 7,500 pounds (3,400 kilograms), or about 3 1/2 tons (3.18 metric tonnes).

Sutton said it's likely the criminals who pulled of the caper already had a plan in place for how to launder that much money.

“It's an interesting question: How do you get rid of that amount of cash?” he said. “I know it's a quandary we'd all like to have, but the reality is these criminals probably had that in their repertoire.”

Read of this earlier in the week, but it seems they are releasing a few more details now.

For safety reasons, I keep MY $30M in my mattress. It’s a little lumpy, but you get used to it. ;)

I’ve seen a couple movies that had this theme.

The thieves are either found dead in a ditch, or they are never found.

What’s the big deal? That much, and more is stolen by California politicians every day.

Dudes from the show ‘Animal Kingdom’ probably did it. NOT the one with marlin perkins.

This is the second bloody nose for Garda who lost millions worth of clients’ jewelry when one of their trucks was parked at a truck stop and one guard slept while the other went into the station for food.

And here the leftists thought they were immune from the consequences of importing criminals.

Somehow they deceived themselves into thinking it would only affect flyover country and the hoi polloi.

Well, guess again. The criminals are not that stupid. They know where the real money is.

Going after Joe-Rural-American is going to end up with them more likely shot than scoring any significant amount of money.

Ridiculous that they can’t guard this amount of cash. Most likely they had help on the inside.

I wouldn't want to have that quandary, it's likely to get them busted.

Lots of countries accept US Cash for deposits with no reporting to anyone, see PANAMA. I would bet it has already been deposited in a Panamanian or Cayman Islands bank. YES it is LEGAL, the Politicians set it up so they can Launder their BRIBE MONEY, they just don’t like other people using their laws for themselves.

Having worked in the secure facility guarding business, I think it’s a sure thing that this was an inside job. The many alarms that were not activated, or not responded to, makes it a sure thing.

Even disabling the alarms sets off an alarm.

Donate it to members of congress and democrat groups. They don’t ask questions.

Due to the nature of the heist (so much money) they may be caught. Moving it. Getting rid of it. Dealing with the various personalities in a gang. I’d bet that state surveillance of money movement is much tighter these days than it was in the past. Now if there is an insider and one outside thief behind it…and the insider is now dead…

Joe Biden’s minions at work. The Big Guy git his 10% off the top and the rest was circulated into DNC campaign funding.

The bills were long gone before the robbers got there.
They got the scraps, and the blame.
The Big Shots made off with it all long ago.
