$55 Million Gone Overnight: The Most Ambitious ATM Robbery Ever


55 million dollars from ATMs worldwide! 35-YEAR-OLD ERSHAWN FINDIKOLU masterminded one of history's most INTRICATE BANK ROBBERIES. From his base in TURKEY, Findikolu HACKED INTO INTERNATIONAL BANK SYSTEMS, stealing account data and eliminating ATM WITHDRAWAL LIMITS.

With ATM NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS PROVIDED, the gangs struck worldwide—from TOKYO to LONDON to NEW YORK. In FEBRUARY 2011, the operation began: 55 million dollars WAS STOLEN IN 15,000 TRANSACTIONS over mere hours. Secret Service Agent SCOTT SARAFIAN described the precision: “BLOCK AFTER BLOCK, ATM AFTER ATM.”

In NEW YORK CITY ALONE, millions vanished as gang members cleaned out ATMs clustered along BROADWAY. Surveillance footage captured the thieves at work—their confidence fueled by Findikolu's impeccable planning. Brazenly, Findikolu flaunted his success, POSING WITH STACKS OF CASH. Yet his overconfidence would lead investigators to his trail.
