Maybe being famous is good? Maybe, but for me, no. I was just robbing a bank. I didn’t expect it to go viral, just doing my normal thing. Life isn’t fun if your not constantly hanging off a cliff. It was a successful heist and after I got a great night of sleep, but woke up to not so great information.
