I came across armed robbery. I was not involved directly, but
my employees were involved. At the time, I had 14 people working
under me. I sent four of them to the central bank to deliver
some cash. There was the senior teller, a clerk, a messenger
and the Bank's driver. It was quite a large amount of cash.
