“I am the Robin Hood bank robber. “Am I proud of what I did? “God damn right I am.”

A CONVICTED bank robber recently released from a US prison and deported to Australia has boasted about a heist he pulled off in which he “humiliated those who hate the poor”.
Author Corey Donaldson, from Macclesfield, Victoria — who describes himself as “the Robin Hood bank robber” — has returned home after serving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence in the US.
In his first Australian interview since his July deportation, Donaldson, 45, told news.com.au he was “God damn proud of what (he) did” in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on December 31, 2012.
As revellers all over the globe prepared to ring in the New Year, Donaldson disguised himself in sunglasses and a cap, then walked into a bank to carry out a “lone wolf style” heist in the ski resort town.
He feigned a South African accent during the holdup in which he told staff that Mexican drug gang cartel members had placed bombs in the snow outside and would blow up the bank and then hunt down and kill the manager if $US2 million was not handed over.


The manager — who later needed psychiatric treatment — emptied out the bank’s safe and teller drawers and Donaldson walked away with $US140,000 cash. According to Donaldson, the heist lasted an extraordinary 90 minutes.
“I was in full view of all the moneychangers, without a single alarm being triggered,” Donaldson said.
“Staff did not know what happened until I was gone.


“I secured $140,750 without touching any of it, got away slower than grandma, and stayed away, donating the cash to the needy across three states.”
He spent the next 22 days on the run until his arrest in Clinton, Utah on January 22, 2013.
According to Donaldson, he didn’t rob the bank out of greed, or to fund a lavish lifestyle. He claimed the heist “was about confiscating corrupt system cash and giving that cash to the poor”.
“I gave it all away, and then some,” he told news.com.au.
“I approached homeless people on the street and asked them how much money they needed to change their lives. I gave them what they asked for, and more.
“I also gave to organisations like the Salvo’s and Volunteers of America.
“The typical response I received were hugs, shock, tears and gratitude. People were peeled off ice-laden streets into warm beds because of what I did.”

How is a disney character supporting the idea of a modern day criminal?

Or any of your views?

Or the very fact you posted a picture of the disney film of Robin Hood, a myth, in order to back your point, as if they are comparable with this criminal?

So yes you are fundementally lying out of your arse mate
