Hivemind: Son of Squamous

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Odd, we had a similar problem several year back, but it was arson attacks not robberies.

Maybe he knows of a weakness in thier security/cash handling procedures

There was a guy called "Dagobert" (which is also the name in German versions of the Disney comics about Scrooge the Duck) in Germany some years ago that blackmailed a certain store chain. He did it once in 1988 and detonated a bomb after the first money handover (500.000 DM ~ 250.000 €) failed that dealt considerably damage. The second handover succeeded and he disappeared again.
But 1992 he was broke again, suffering severe depressions (hea accidentally in resolvents in his job that seemed to have affected his mental health) and considering suicide. He began a new blackmail scheme, this time against Karstadt. He again threatened them with bombs, and a few of them exploded.

He got his nick name due to his pass phrase he used in newspaper articles to give details on the money handovers and his threats (it was "Dagobert greets his nephews"), and he got particularly famous for the intracity of his constructions.
For examle, he built a mini lorry for a money handover. The money was to be deponated on the lorry and it used an abandoned railway to get the money to him. Unfortunately it jumped off tracks shortly before it arrived and he didn't dare to approach it. He has placed several firecrackers along the path - that was already difficult to follow on its own at night time - and managed to confuse the police so he could escape.
And that was just one of a few escapes he managed when the police was circling in on him.

No one ever got seriously hurt (two lightly injured) despite quite a few attacks, which is probably partially thanks to the timing and placing of his bombs.

He was eventually arrested and left prison on good behavior in 2000, having recieved therapy from the results of his exposure to resolvents. (It was apparently only diagnosed in prison.)

If you've seen The Heist on Channel 4 (UK), he (real Name: Arno Funke) was there, basically playing himself. He is also a caricaturist and wrote an autobiography. His story was also used in a movie

I don't blame you. We can't all be as sexy as Aurora and Goldmoon.

Is this hypothetical sexyness or is there online evidence we can scrutinise and admire?

Well, to tell the truth, with a corset underneath, I do look quite charming in a dress...

I hope you mean a kilt.

Oh, and Good Morning hive. How is everyone today?

No, I don't wear a corset with a kilt . Kilt I wear occasionally even now. It's been 6 years since I've worn a dress...
