It’s all about money. Troy probably gets paid more as a consultant than robbing banks. So if he can be trusted with his information and a financial institution is better off, he’ll continue to get paid. These are also lessons to improve security. If you can’t trust somebody who tells you to “Say Hello” to your customers and to be engaged with them, then 2″ bullet proof glass may be a good idea.

“Don’t snitch” seems to be a common thought these days, but it is not doing the right thing. And working at a credit union should mean doing the right thing.

When I interviewed Troy, I didn’t get the sense that he gloats in his presentations nor when working with banks on their security concerns. I’m not sure why you think he couldn’t be trusted. What would be his angle?

Isn’t there some sort of robber’s street code….? Don’t snitch on your fellow hoodlums or something. This guy can’t be trusted and I can’t believe anyone would hire him to gloat about robbing a bank.
