Just how prepared are your contingency plans

Because real bad guys make the mistake of researching their topic (like how to use Muriatic acid to remove blood so it can't be detected), talking a good game about "I know how I'd commit that crime...". to being that guy who everybody knows that you know enough stuff to be dangerous.

Just like how Vincent Hanna gets on the trail in Heat when this guy heard about this guy who usually always brags about things he's doing and suddenly he wasn't bragging at all, which made him suspect he was doing what he'd been talking about.

Personally, I try to avoid being called that "nice, quiet guy next door who was never a problem for anybody."

Police hear that and you're in their permanent international "Person of Interest" database.

Exactly.

If you've ever talked about crime or given anybody the impression you might know anything about crime, you must NEVER ever commit a crime because you'll be the number one suspect.

we don't really want too many bad guys reading it either -- competition is not to be tolerated when it comes to Overlording.......

Co-Overlord doesn't really ring true to me...........

You do know that the current online (pirated) copy of the Evil Overlord manual is actually the relabeled Disposable Henchman manual... Muhahaha!

A bank heist is probably one of the worst ideas you can think of in this day and age, there are... other ways to get large amounts of money without having to literally move a metric ton of small paper bills that aren't marked... A large chance of people getting shot or a hostage situation enfolds, yuck, so... Vulgar! ;-)

A standard bank heist, yes- bank heists via ID theft, fraud or hacking net so much more cash with so much less risk it is ridiculous.

OTOH, most bank heists are done by people who can't do ID theft, fraud or hacking due to lacking the proper education, the influence of drugs or extreme time pressures.

There was a guy here sometime early 2000 who robbed a bank with an axe. He then got on his bicycle and rode away. When the cops were asked how they caught him so fast they said the bank teller had recognized him as the same guy who tried robbing the place with a hammer the last time. They just drove towards his home, and there he was drunkenly weaving left and right on his bicycle. They'd signalled for him to stop, and he'd been so surprised he'd fallen into the ditch. ID theft, that's practically alien tech to these guys.
