When it comes to how to make money quickly, robbing banks has become a good way for many criminals. After all, it only takes a few hours to make money that they will never make in a lifetime. But nowadays, the security of banks is getting stricter and stricter, coupled with the protection of various high-end technologies, it is definitely not an easy task for criminals to abscond, and the time to catch them is also getting faster.
So as long as a person is of sound mind, he will not do anything illegal and criminal based on morality and law. However, in Japan, a ridiculous bank fraud case occurred. The genius criminal in Japanese history! He placed a fake vault in front of the bank and made tens of millions in just one night. What happened?
The 1970s was a period of rapid development for Japan. During that period, Japan's economy and other aspects were growing rapidly. The domestic people also benefited greatly from it, and everyone's income was very high. Especially for some merchants who open stores, their daily turnover is a considerable amount. In order to ensure the safety of money, many people go to the bank to deposit money every day, and there are often long queues at the bank door. Banks were closed at night, and there were no ATMs at that time, so depositing money at night was a big trouble.
In order to take care of people who want to save money at night, banks have launched a vault model. That is, as long as you open the vault with a special key at night and put the money in, a bank employee will check the amount of the money and put it into the vault the next day. This makes it very convenient to save money, so some people are eyeing this vault.
At eight o'clock in the evening on February 25, 1973, merchants in Osaka finished their business for the day, counted their sales for the day, and went to the bank with their money. As a result, there was a piece of paper taped to the door of the vault that had been functioning normally. It said that there was a problem with the vault and it could not be used. Please use the temporary vault at the bank's exit to save money.
Without any suspicion, people followed the instructions and came to the so-called temporary vault and deposited their money in it. In order to increase credibility, the prisoner also placed a record card in the vault. As long as you hold the record card, you can prove that the money was deposited. Such thoughtful design made everyone believe it, and no one ever expressed doubts.
Things were going smoothly at first, but after putting in 25.76 million yen, the temporary vault could no longer hold it. Someone called the police hoping to change the vault. Then the police contacted the bank staff and learned about the temporary vault. It turned out to be a scam. Users who deposited money were frightened when they learned that they had been cheated, and they withdrew all the money they had deposited.
I have to say that this prisoner is a very smart person, and he knows how to use people's herd mentality to plan a seemingly flawless fraud. Unfortunately, he was defeated by an accident.
Since the criminal did not leave any clues to solve the case, he has not been caught and brought to justice until now, making it an unsolved case in history
