    very good sumguy. didnt notice that thread before. i think the writers changed the amount that db copper robbed like you said because $200,000 isnt much money today (shared between so many). also, i would say the reason that they changed it from $20 bills to $100 bills is because carrying around 5 million in 20 dollar bills would need a truck where as it would be more plausable in 100 dollar bills. never knew it was a real story either!

    I like the way the series makes little references to things like that.
    Truth is indeed sometimes starnger than fiction!

    One would be wrong, the bar codes from the bills are all logged, not a single note found.....ever.

    I saw a FBI Files show on it and they reckon he could have fenced the cash in small amounts and the FBI would never find it.
