    Okay, but the story is about an immense amount of cocaine. The reference should about someone who would be in possession of a lot of cocaine. Which, I suppose could include some notorious users, but AFAIK Daryl Strawberry wasn't any more prolific a cocaine user than your average professional athlete user.

    What I'm getting at, I suppose, is that just because you can insert "Bear" into someone's name twice instead of once does not mean it's a better joke/reference.

    Saw The Batman. It was very entertaining! My favorite part is that the music, action, etc. becomes SO loud and violent that you enter the mindspace of the criminals being hunted and start to see Batman as more of a Freddy Kreuger type than a superhero. He's scary! The Batmobile scene from the trailer is extremely good on a big theater screen with a loud sound system.
    And that turns out to be an important theme of the movie. He's not making a difference yet because he's JUST hurting people. The person he saved from a gang beating did not realize they were being rescued, they found it equally likely they were about to be beaten into orange pulp next.

    I do have to mark it down for being so long I literally HAD to run for a pee break before the movie even ended (I tried to time it on rising action TO the climax rather than the climax itself). Could we possibly aim for like 2 hrs and 30 min or something? Not 3 hours even? Yeesh. This would not have been a problem if the movie started on streaming, but I did enjoy the screen size and sound quality... mixed feelings.

    https://deadline.com/2022/03/ryan-coogler-mistaken-bank-robbery-black-panther-detained-atlanta-1234974360/
    Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was handcuffed and briefly detained by Atlanta police at a bank on January 7 after a bank employee mistook his written request for a $12,000 cash withdrawal as a robbery attempt.

    In the incident, described in a police report obtained by Deadline, Coogler, in Atlanta filming the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, had entered a Bank of America branch (reportedly wearing a Covid mask and sunglasses). When he handed a bank teller a withdrawal slip with a note written on the back asking for the $12,000 in cash to be counted out of sight of other customers – “I’d like to be discreet,” he had written – the teller noticed that the large withdrawal had triggered a computer alert, and conveyed to her boss that the customer was attempting to rob the bank.

    Police, who later described the teller as a “pregnant black female,” arrived at the location, with one officer approaching two people in an SUV waiting outside for Coogler. The two friends told the officer that Coogler was a “movie producer,” according to the report, but a second officer had already entered the building and placed Coogler in handcuffs.

    According to the report, officers quickly realized that “the incident is a mistake by Bank Of America and that Mr. Coogler was never in the wrong and [he] was immediately taken out of handcuff and that suspects # 1 and # 2 was taken out from the rear of the patrol vehicle.”

    Coogler, who had asked for police badge numbers during the incident, said in a statement obtained by Deadline, “This situation should never have happened. However, Bank of America worked with me and addressed it to my satisfaction and we have moved on.”

    All the bank robbers I’ve met have definitely said you start by politely asking for a large amount of money to a normal person but a small amount of money for the risk of robbing a bank to be handled “discreetly” and also to not employ any threat or compulsion to the employee

    That's actually pretty close to how banks are robbed these days, from my understanding

    So I kind of get it?

  • cursedkingcursedking Registered User regular
    But why would you ask for $12,000???? That’s essentially nothing!

    It's about twice what the average take in a modern bank robbery is, actually.

    Modern bank robbery isn't a hostage situation and opening the vault. It's based around the premise that, more than anything, banks don't want anyone to get hurt on their property. Tellers are instructed to just go along with things, so what you do is you just pass a teller a note saying to put all of their high bills into an envelope and you walk out. Suggest that you have a weapon if you want to, but it may not even be entirely necessary.

    Now like, that teller is going to hit a silent alarm, they're going to have video of you doing this and you will be wanted by the police, but you could theoretically walk out and get away with plenty of time still for an isolated incident. It's on repetition that you're increasingly likely to get caught.

    Yeah, "Twelve thousand dollars in cash discreetly" handed by note is exactly the kind of shit that robbers do.

    That being said it was clearly obvious that handcuffs and attempts to arrest were not needed at all.

    That's probably the best case scenario that happened based on how absolutely fucking stupid going into a bank with sunglasses on (I'm aware masks right now are different, and that further complicates tellers jobs) and handing over a slip of paper saying give me money keep it discreet.

    Like, dear Lord. Think.

    But also he probably wanted to keep it discrete because he’s a famous man who would be carrying twelve thousand dollars cash.

    You wouldn’t want to announce either “I’m Ryan Coogler” or “I have a lot of money on me”

  • QuetziQuetzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User, Moderator mod
    Yeah I would not put the blame on Coogler here either - I think his actions are entirely understandable given the circumstances

    Especially because like, that's not the sort of thing most people think of when they think about robbing banks (as evidenced already here)

  • PiptheFairPiptheFair Frequently not in boats. Registered User regular
    also, important to note, a transaction of 10k or more requires approval by a manager and the feds to be contacted

    so like, you can't really be discreet about that, but also it takes literally five seconds to say 'let me get the manager real quick'

  • A Dabble Of TheloniusA Dabble Of Thelonius It has been a doozy of a dayRegistered User regular
    That's a very good point. I guess I looked at it from my standpoint of don't cover your face even more and hand a note to a teller. But he wouldn't have that same thought process. I dunno that the note was necessary, but yeah. Fair play. That's on me going from my experience.

    Good call out guys, thank you

    When the Bank Secrecy act was passed $10,000 was equivalent to $74,000 today. I guess that's not interesting but I was curious so I looked it up. $10K? More like a grocery trip am I right!

    Did his note not include, like, his bank account details?

    That story makes it sound like he literally just gave a note saying "give me money" which yes sounds very sus but also quite doubtful.

    The note said "withdraw from my account," details of which were presumably offered.

    So when we paid my contractor to redo our deck he offered us a 10% discount if we paid in cash. I work with his wife and he did a bunch of work for the department so, fine.

    I called my bank a week ahead and said what was going on and that'd I need to make three large cash withdrawals. The manager had to put an extra order in for cash because they don't typically have that much available at once.

    I had an appointment to arrive, they checked my ID and counted everything out for me in the office so I wasn't in front of customers as they counted it out.

    I think it's frankly ridiculous to just expect to walk in to a bank and expect them to gave twelve thousand dollars in advance and I think he's an idiot for expecting it.

    I completely understand the bank's reaction and I also understand this wouldn't have happened to a white guy (or at least would not have gotten handcuffed).

    I believe it was actually a bank withdrawal slip with a note also written on it to count the money discreetly in another area.

    Like, I know they don't always in actuality, but it's literally their job to have money (and this wasn't a situation where they didn't have it, regardless)
