This former A+ list singer is A- list now.
He is bragging that he somehow knew about the huge cash heist this week before it was going to happen.
What happened:
Thieves orchestrated one of Los Angeles’ most substantial cash heists, absconding with up to $30 million from a Sylmar money storage facility on 2024 Easter Sunday.
The burglary, characterized by its scale and sophistication, involved breaching both the building and its fortified safe.
The audacious plan, executed by experienced criminals, suggests a meticulous operation possibly aided by insider knowledge.
Investigators are perplexed by the thieves’ ability to evade the alarm system.
The traceability of the stolen cash hinges on existing records and circulation.
The FBI and LAPD are conducting a joint investigation, acknowledging the potential for this to be LA’s largest cash heist to date.
Notable previous heists include the $18.9 million theft in 1997 and a recent multimillion-dollar jewelry heist.
While burglaries from above are uncommon in Southern California, historical precedents and recent incidents, such as a wine heist last July, underscore the ongoing challenge of securing high-value assets.

In 1997, thieves stole $18.9 million from the Dunbar Armored facility on Mateo Street, with the culprits eventually apprehended.
Nearly two years ago, a significant jewelry heist occurred at a Grapevine truck stop, where thieves made off with approximately $100 million in valuables.
During the heist in July 2022, more than 20 large bags of jewelry, gems, and other items were taken from a Brink’s tractor-trailer en route to LA from the International Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo.
The theft took place within a 27-minute window while one driver slept and another ate at a nearby truck stop.
This high-profile crime remains unsolved.
