Next time you are robbing a bank please carry a camera and shoot a video. Kenya needs to release it’s own #MoneyHeist which am sure it will bring a lot of profit and Gok will get good tax. Nairobi West standard chartered bank pic.twitter.com/MlJLCsF783

Nairobi west I wonder why I wasted over 16 years in school. Imagine making 72 million a day . Who knows where one can train as a thief? This seems to be the best paying industry in Kenya so far

It is funny how, instead of condemning theft, most Kenyas flooded social media lauding the thieves for stealing such an amount of money.
