Man Jailed For Posting Pic of Stolen $’s + 7 Rappers Who Inspired This Stupidity
In what might be the dumbest story of the year … A 29 year old man was arrested after posting a photo of money he stole from a Wells Fargo bank vault.
Arlando Henderson allegedly stole $88,000 from a bank where he worked in Charlotte, North Carolina. Authorities say Henderson stole cash out of Wells Fargo vault at least 18 times this year. He then posted his newfound wealth on instagram and facebook.
Police say he even used 20 thousand dollars for a down payment on a new Mercedes Benz in L.A. He was arrested in San Diego and is now facing up to 40 years in prison.
Sadly he may have gotten away with it if not for his thirst to tell the world via social media. “I make it look easy but this shit really a PROCESS,” he posted on Facebook August 4. Less than a month later on September 1, Henderson wrote, “Looking at my brand thinking this how I got rich.”
According to authorities thanks to the attention Henderson’s posts garnered they were able to track him down. We hate to say it, but Henderson may have just been trying to emulate a lifestyle glorified in rap music and rap stars. If you scroll long enough down your favorite rapper’s Instagram page, you’ll probably find a picture of them holding a sizable wad of cash against their ear, imitating someone actually being on the phone.
Here’s 7 rappers notorious for posting pics of their “money phone” who Henderson should thank from jail.
