Uncle Li once said, "I hate you robbers the most; you have no technical skills at all." Therefore, an American youth changed the way to rob a bank.
He executed a self-made piece of code on an ATM (the video was once publicly available on YouTube but was quickly removed), causing the ATM to mistakenly dispense $20 as if it were $5. Thus, if he withdrew $250 using an untraceable debit card from that machine, he could actually take away $1000.
His ingenuity not only brought him a 400% return but also benefited other people who used that machine. This ATM worked generously for 9 days before being reported by an honest aunt.
