Muggers rob Bronx construction worker of $100K in cash from workman’s compensation settlement - he was carrying it in a backpack​

A Bronx construction worker carrying $100,000 from his recently cashed workman’s compensation settlement check was bum rushed in Concourse by three men who beat him and took his money, police said Thursday.

The 47-year-old victim flashed his cash, which he was carrying in a backpack, as he made a purchase inside a bodega at the corner of Walton Ave. and E. 167th St. on September 12.

“Wow!” police quoted a customer in the store as saying. “That’s a lot of money.”

The victim got the settlement after he suffered an injury in 2020 while working in construction.
After the purchase in the bodega, the victim left and went to meet a friend nearby, behind a building on Gerard Ave. near McClellan St. in Concourse.

As he sat on a bench and waited for his friend, the three suspects came up from behind and assaulted him. They punched, kicked him and beat him with a stick before they took his camouflage-patterned backpack, which held the cash, and ran off, police said.

Besides the $100,000 in cash, the backpack also contained personal identification cards and documents, said police.
Police released a photo of a suspect escaping with the bag. He’s about 30 years old, Black and slim with braided black hair. His accomplices are about the same age and are both dark-skinned, said police.

The bodega customer who saw the money in the backpack was not among the three, but police said it’s possible he tipped off the trio.
Anyone with information is asked to call the CrimeStoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

i actually find the fact that THE GUARDIAN told LSA to cease and desist more interesting than the actual article.



Looks like that board annoys alot more people than just coliBrehs

 

[hatealot]

Come the fukk on. Why wouldn't you have it direct deposit into an account. They could of opened one for you right on the spot with a paper check. He's a fukking idiot.

 

[Trajan]

Damn he must be sick rn.

I don't even like opening my wallet around ppl if it has a substantial number of notes

A backpack stuffed with cash in the Bronx?

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

A fool and his money

 

[Kingshango]

To be walking around with that type of money on you, in the Bronx.

 

[VelourSocks]

unless dude was absolutely dying of thirst or hunger, that trip to the bodega couldn’t wait till he got home and put his bag down?

 

[getmoney310cpt]

Dude could have EASILY slid a 100 dollar bill out the bag while walking to the store sound like he got in there, opened the bag to get a bill all while at the counter to check out..no situational awareness with that kind of money hard lesson G finesse

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I hope the floss was worth it. There's no insurance on cash in hand.

 

[Bubba T]

Guessing the breh didn’t trust banks so he thought holding all that cash by himself was a safer bet. In any case that’s basic behavior. Most people know the inherent risk of carrying a lot of cash.

 

[ORDER_66]

Why was he carrying THAT much cash in his backpack?!!?

[LuuqMaan]

I honestly can’t even feel sorry for the dude

 

[Lay Z]

Not finna victim blame but wtf was this man thinking even leaving the bank with that much cash, let alone fukkin flashing that shyt IN PUBLIC?!!!!


Dude is lucky to be alive right now. Folks is hurting worse than ever right now, and this fool is walking around with a coli breh's years salary in a bag and if that isnt foolhardy enough, showing it to people! Wtf did he think was going to happen? Might as well take a bath in blood then go for a swim in a fukkin shark tank!

This gotta be one of them weird nonsense cac fetish fantasies that make no sense, like folks who get turned on by guys in neon green face paint melting traffic cones in the microwave while elevator music plays in the background. Dude stuffs a bag with cash, flashes it around and then goes and sits behind the building he was flashing it around in with it. Unless someone with serious money had signed and notarized a contract betting him a million he wouldnt do it, or someone had his family kidnapped at gun point, i can not grasp what this poor fool was hoping to accomplish.
