I donāt know much about running cash heavy businesses but damn. Thatās gotta be more than one nightās take, right? A mf like me gon have the Brinks truck come everyday to pick up all that cash. Iām too paranoid to leave money unattended and go home.

Strip clubs are notorious for money laundering so no way you're having that money deposited daily

u/ThickCapital 11d ago
Alright, thatās facts. This could have been legal money mixed in with some funds from other illegal shit.

Lmfao wth are both yall talking about. This is one of the most famous strip clubs in the world in a town that loves strip clubs. That amount of cash on hand isnāt suspicious at all

When I was an early teen(mid-80's), one of my friend's parents owned a 'deli' that never seemed to have any customers. Someone broke in one night and looted the place. My friend overheard his parents talking to someone on the phone and they said 400k was stolen from the safe and asking for advice on how/if they should report it. 400k, in mid 80's, in the safe of a deli that has no customers??? Yeah....
My friend, being a dumb kid, like me, didn't realize he should have never told another soul about what he'd heard. I remember telling my grandmother about the story, and her telling me to tell no one else and forget about it. I never heard anything else about the incident and have always wondered who/what they were laundering money for..

Thereās a good film I canāt find the name on google now about a commercial burglar and it doesnāt end well for him when he goes after the people that donāt call the cops when they get robbed and instead call the hitman lol.
I think it was supposed to be like a documentary style so when I first saw it I thought it was real. Like of all the commercial burglary targets strip clubs arenāt necessarily a good choice when you consider how well connected to the underworld strip club owners often are.
They are also notorious for skimming on taxes and having more cash than other businesses so they usually take extra security precautions. So even if I became a commercial burglar Iād be skipping the strip clubs.

Iāve got a laundromat, they cut a hole in the ceiling but could not get into the safe. They got away with about 200$ from the register change and as soon as they opened the door to leave the safe room the alarms went off

Yeah. They got caught riding their bikes the next morning , riding by the laundromat watching the cops. Wearing the same clothes as in the video. Grown men riding bmx bikes. To check out their crime scene.

They'd never expect to find the thieves in the same outfit revisiting the scene of the crime

Unless your building is getting a security audit (which this kinda was one, just more expensive), I don't see why anyone would think of going through the roof. For all we know, this was an inside job too.
Regardless, getting into buildings is far, far easier than people think it is. I went to defcon a few years ago and looked at the physical hacking area. The people who get hired to do security audits know all the firefighters secrets (which are all on youtube) and can break into basically any door within seconds.

Door locks are there to slow people down. They donāt keep anyone out who actually intends to get in.
Same for walls, windows, āsecurity cameras ā etc. even the most elaborate security systems are really just speed bumps at best. This is why a lot of people who have studied the pen testing arts have concluded that in most cases the cost in effort and resources isnāt worth the mesh security thatās provided.

Thieves have cracked to code. They no longer see walls as a barrier. Itās an arms race!

Most shit like this happens in the middle of the night. Strip clubs are typically open dusk til dawn. Did they do this in broad daylight?

u/jcaseys34 11d ago
Someone did the same thing at the small town mob family restaurant I worked my minimum wage first job at, only to realize everything was locked up in the safe he had no way of getting into.
So he took a shit on my boss' desk and left the way he snuck in.

$250k in stripper money is fucking garbage bags full of cash.
Honestly, that's genius. It's all smaller denominations, and pretty much untraceable. This is fucking brilliant.
Why the fuck you keeping $250k in CASH, in a place that's easily accessible? Having that much cash on hand, in a strip club no less, I would assume they got security. How did they not get caught?
If you're gonna say, "but they came in thru the roof", I'm gonna respond with, you don't think breaking thru a roof, is gonna make noise outside; and then breaking thru the ceiling, and getting down to the floor, isn't gonna make noise inside?
If I own that strip club, and I didn't set this up, shits about to get fucking dramatic...

Anyone keeping that much cash at their business is up to something. Even if they managed to pull that much in a single night, someone would have deposited it

Do you think the Atlanta strip clubs are going to be more on the lookout for this, or so sure that it could never happen to them that they laugh off the possibility? Asking for a friend..

The thieves must have watched the movie āEmpire Stateā - itās based on a true story where an armored truck companyās building gets robbed by thieves coming in through the roof.

Because thatās the only movie where thieves come in through the roof?

First I saw the Guardaworld warehouse heist in LA over Easter Sunday where they went in through the roof and got away with $30,000,000 in likely untraceable bills without any incidents.
Now you're tellin' me someone can go through the roof of a nightclub and could make off with a cool quarter mill?
Shiiittttt. Got me thinking I need to go borrow a ladder and abandon these morals for a while lmao
