StanChart robber David Roach sentenced to jail in Singapore 5 years after high-profile bank heist and escape.

Canadian David James Roach, 31, was given five years' jail and six strokes of the cane. He pleaded guilty to one charge of robbery and a second charge of transferring the criminal proceeds out of Singapore.

I thought he will not be given the rotan when MFA nego for his extradition from UK?? LoL...guess not.

The thing is what made him do it? I still dont get it? Why only $30K? Such a specific amount and how come he knows there will be 30K in the teller's drawer. I have not come across robbery movies that robbers ask for a specific amount. 

Guess we will never know. Case close for the spf. Hooray!

and he didnt even get to enjoy the money .. iirc it was all consficated by thai authorities because he was charged there for bringing in the cash without declaring it, in excess of allowed amount 🤪

I hope he spent the next 3 to 4 years reflecting why robbing a bank is a low return high risk thing. Many branches don't keep large cash position these days. Luckily he is not caned thanks to the side agreement our govt made with UK, but that's another can of worm.

NO Caning is the condition imposed on us for extradition order to go through.

As a lawyer, I expect you to explain it better than an accountant
