EXCLUSIVE — An inside man mapped out the perfect scheme for a big-money heist — a quarter million in untraceable cash walked out the door of a New York City racetrack at the end of the busiest betting day of the year. Think it ended well? Let me tell you about it.
The Mob Reporter here with the exclusive inside story of an ingenious heist that proves there is no such thing as a foolproof plan — in the underworld, there’s always some fool ready to ruin any plan. Take this for example.

The Gotham Stakes at New York’s Aqueduct Racetrack is the track’s busiest betting day, popular as a prep race for the Kentucky Derby. The track took in $536,567 in betting money. And three bandits made off with more than half of it. Here’s the crew: Lafayette Morrison, known as “Laf” — he’s the inside man — a trusted security guard at the racetrack; Lamel Miller, known as “Mel” — Morrison’s childhood friend was the muscle; and finally, Khaleel Williams, known as “Kha” — the driver, backup bandit and gofer.
They might have got away with it too, if it wasn’t ruined by their own sloppy mistake. Watch to see what happened.
