Recovered Cash?

[edit]

The opening paragraph says that approximately 95% of the cash was recovered, but 'Arrests, trials, and convictions' section says that "more than 88%" of the money was recovered. Which is the correct figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimBurd (talkcontribs) 22:00, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is the (1997) really necessary? There doesn't seem to be another one with a similar name that needs disambiguating... 68.39.174.238 03:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Point well taken; I had thought that the year of the crime was necessary or useful in the title. Thanks for doing the move. ProfessorPaul 02:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These are living people....where are the citations?

[edit]

Nothing in the "Planning" section, or "Heist," or subsection "Ghantt as Prime Suspect" is cited, and much of this material may be controversial. What are the sources--newspapers? Prosecution accounts? Confessions?

I'll hold off on anything drastic--I'm new here. But the libel concern appears serious to me.Ongoing Discussion (talk) 05:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Media Portrayals is wrong

[edit]

The Mastermind episode that is mentioned is about a completely different heist. Unless there is a Mastermind episode about Loomis that I haven't found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.109.74 (talk) 06:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Portrayal

[edit]

The new CNBC Program "Super Heists" did a program on this featuring interviews with the participants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.154.144 (talk) 15:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Portrayal

[edit]

There is a youtube portrayal of the heist with several hundred thousand views(705k at the time of writing this), which I view as warrant for it to be added to the list(assuming a youtube video counts as a media portrayal). It is titled “America’s dumbest Heist”, by Youtuber Vince Vantage. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWg_EJair8M 73.9.81.82 (talk) 00:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
