Worlds dumbest bank robbers? An Ohio couple are now behind bars for effectively leading police directly to them by doing just that. John Mogan, 28, and Ashley Duboe, 24, are charged with robbing the Savings Bank in Ashville, Ohio, last month, after Mogan uploaded selfies with the stash online, which he refers to as a 'McStack'. McStack: John Mogan, 28, had been out of prison just over a month when he allegedly robbed a bank in Ashville, Ohio, with the help of his girlfriend and posted selfies to Facebook of himself with the cash The robbery occurred on August 24. Police say Mogan walked into the bank wearing a black hoodie that covered his distinctive facial tattoos - he has 'Loyalty's Thin' on his right cheek and 'Betrayl's Thick' on his right - and handed the teller a note. The teller then passed over an undisclosed amount - believed to be in the thousands - and Mogan walked out. Court documents make no mention of a weapon. One week later, on August 31, Mogan posted a photo to his Facebook of himself driving with a huge wad of notes in his mouth. The Smoking Gun reported that a relative of Mogan's commented on the photo that Mogan 'didn't hook a brother up'. Mogan later commented himself: 'That's called a McStack.' Another post from Mogan said: 'I got six bands bra real shit nigga. Im doing rrree=aaaaalll) good.' Mogan posted at least two other photos with the currency, including one with girlfriend Ashley Duboe. Police received several tips in relation to the robbery but none of them eventuated. However information that came through Central Ohio Crime Stoppers - believed to be concerning the Facebook photos - lead them to Mogan, according to The Circleville Herald. A background search showed that Mogan had only just been released from prison after robbing a bank in 2010 in Lancaster, a city about 20 miles east of Ashville. Mogan's address was listed about 30 miles away in Pataskala, however investigators determined that Mogan's parents live in Ashville. Mogan was also still on parole at the time of the robbery, after being released from prison in Ohio on July 19. He was arrested in Pataskala and has been charged with robbery, a third-degree felony and theft, a fifth-degree felony. He is now facing at least four years in prison. Duboe was charged with the same offenses. Police have not disclosed what part she allegedly played in the robbery. Both are being held on a $250,000 bond.
I thought the idea was, you were supposed to keep it a secret! Or try to get away with it, not tell the world!!
No. I am capable of introspection. I certainly wouldn't rob a bank for 5 grand. An armored truck on pickup from the grocery store or a payday advance place you bet. A prostitute or mexican drug dealer you betcha. Theres no money in banks
Scott Scurlock (dubbed Hollywood) because he wore theatrical makeup robbed banks for over 2.3 million dollars before he got caught. Spread over many many years. There is a different between an armature and a pro you know. Scott Scurlock (March 5, 1955 – November 28, 1996) born William Scott Scurlock in Reston, Virginia was the son of a minister. He was nicknamed the Hollywood Bandit (or simply Hollywood). He got this nickname due to being primarily known for being involved in bank robberies in the Seattle area during the 1990s and the fact that he used acting disguises. Using Hollywood quality make-up he successfully robbed 17 banks plus his last attempt which succeeded, but ended in his death during the getaway attempt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Scurlock
