That's a lot of cash. Even in pounds.

Stolen the old fashion way (stick 'em up and put the money in the bag) or was this an electronic theft?

In Euros or Sterling? If EU-monopoly money, they should just cancel it all and have everyone return their euros for real money.

Apparently, it was done the old-fashioned way; two men have already been arrested, while the rest are still at large.

Unfortunately bayourant, I don't know the name of the bank. I didn't hear that part. :/

You're not dealing with a Mr Nkomo are you? Because I'm just about to receive $20M from him after our deal closed. It should be great - my new mansion is nearly finished and the builder is bugging me for the money. Not to worry though, Mr Nkomo is going to send the check this week.

Hopefully the thieves filled out the proper forms for large cash transactions, or they could be in serious trouble.

Nah--I'm dealing with a Ms. Nguano. Her father was the CEO of the Central Bank there. That's why all their money was in Britain.

Was this the heist that had been reported last week, where they kidnapped the manager and his family?

That's just walking-around money for Bill Gates.

Have you seen the muscles on that guy?
