A man making $8 an hour stole MILLIONS and left $3 million in the van because it wouldn't fit


In 1997 David Ghantt made $8.15 an hour as a vault supervisor at an armored car company
One night he loaded $17 million into a company van by himself
The cash weighed 2,800 pounds and he left $3.3 million behind because it wouldn't fit
A security camera he forgot about caught him doing a little victory dance
Took $50,000 for himself, flew to Mexico, and gave the rest to Steve Chambers
Chambers was a former FBI informant who got his whole "lay low" plan from watching Goodfellas
Within one month he moved from a mobile home into a $635,000 mansion
Bought paintings of Elvis, a bulldog statue dressed as General Patton, and a $10,000 pool table
His wife walked into a bank and tried to deposit thousands in $20 bills
Then they hired a hitman to get rid of Ghantt in Mexico so they wouldn't have to split the money
The FBI found $11 million stashed in their safe deposit boxes
Ghantt got 7 years
His cut of $17 million was $50,000
7 years of his life for less than what he would've made staying at the job
