There is a podcast called "The Sneak" and the episodes are like 20 mins each so I have been able to listen to a good bit of it, but I did google the story last night.

It is pretty interest, especially how he pulled off the robbery.

quote:

Anthony Curcio once dreamed of being a major part of the kind of season the University of Idaho is completing this week.

A standout wide receiver at Monroe (Wash.) High School, Curcio arrived on the Vandals’ Moscow, Idaho, campus in 1999 with aspirations of making a name for himself.

He did, but not on the football field, and a few years later, as the architect of one of the most ingenious bank heists in modern American history.

With the Idaho program preparing for only its second bowl appearance this century when it takes on Colorado State in Thursday’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Curcio sometimes reflects on what might have been.

“I wanted to be known as a football player and an athlete and all that comes with it,” Curcio told USA TODAY Sports. “Instead, for the rest of my life, no matter what I try to do to put it right, I a

Okay, well in summary. He put an ad in craigslist and told people to go to the area where the bank was.. He told them to wear a long sleeve nave blue tshirt, green shorts and goggles and he would pay them $26/hr.

Well when he went to rob the bank. that's exactly what he had on. So when people were describing "a white man with a dark color long sleeve tshirt, green shorts and goggles" there were a group of people outside who fit that description.

He took off on foot, in a field he took those clothes off, had other clothes under it.. And there was a waterway within running distance. He had a tube waiting for him, which he got on and floated down river.
