Question is,of course, was the teller an innocent victim or in on it?
If he is lying,he is gonna be taking up residence in the State Pen for the next Five years or so.
I have a sick feeling that fake bomb hoaxes and threats are a growth industry.

Something smells fishy....

The last guy that did this was on on it, IIRC, but that doesn't preclude some bank robber thinking it was a good enough idea to do for real.

Oops, I think that's me.

Sorry. I'll clean up a bit.

As for the OP, certainly strange. Be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Thank God the bomb was fake. I still shiver when I think of that guy some years back who some POS scums strapped a bomb to and blew him up, I think also as part of a bank robbery. I wish them slow painful deaths to this day.
