Recovered Cash?
editThe opening paragraph says that approximately 95% of the cash was recovered, but 'Arrests, trials, and convictions' section says that "more than 88%" of the money was recovered. Which is the correct figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimBurd (talk • contribs) 22:00, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

editIs the (1997) really necessary? There doesn't seem to be another one with a similar name that needs disambiguating... 68.39.174.238 03:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Point well taken; I had thought that the year of the crime was necessary or useful in the title. Thanks for doing the move. ProfessorPaul 02:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
These are living people....where are the citations?
editNothing in the "Planning" section, or "Heist," or subsection "Ghantt as Prime Suspect" is cited, and much of this material may be controversial. What are the sources--newspapers? Prosecution accounts? Confessions?
I'll hold off on anything drastic--I'm new here. But the libel concern appears serious to me.Ongoing Discussion (talk) 05:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
The Media Portrayals is wrong
editThe Mastermind episode that is mentioned is about a completely different heist. Unless there is a Mastermind episode about Loomis that I haven't found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.109.74 (talk) 06:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Missing Portrayal
editThe new CNBC Program "Super Heists" did a program on this featuring interviews with the participants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.154.144 (talk) 15:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Missing Portrayal
editThere is a youtube portrayal of the heist with several hundred thousand views(705k at the time of writing this), which I view as warrant for it to be added to the list(assuming a youtube video counts as a media portrayal). It is titled “America’s dumbest Heist”, by Youtuber Vince Vantage. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWg_EJair8M 73.9.81.82 (talk) 00:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
