I have a gun and a police scanner
so if you press the button, someone dies.
I want $50,000 in 100’s, 50’s, and 20’s.
No dye. No sequential bills.
No tracking devices.
If I find any of them or
if you try to interfere in any way
I will shoot the first person I see.
Go to the vault
and put the money in this.
Hurry up!
