In 2005, a group of criminal masterminds orchestrated one of the boldest and most technically advanced bank heists in modern history—digging an 80-meter tunnel beneath one of the busiest streets in Fortaleza, Brazil. This was not a rushed or reckless crime. It was patient. Meticulous. When the bank staff left on a friday everything was normal. When the bank staff returned Monday morning, they found nothing but a gaping hole in the floor, and and an empty vault. They stole untraceable Brazilian reais—worth about $70 million USD.
