In August 2005, a group of over twenty thieves pulled off one of the largest bank heists in history, tunneling into the Central Bank of Brazil in Fortaleza and stealing $70 million without triggering any alarms. The sophisticated plan, which took three months to execute, involved a fake landscaping business as a cover for digging the tunnel. Despite their success, most of the robbers were eventually caught or killed, with only a fraction of the stolen money ever recovered. The heist, now infamous, left the thieves' lives in ruins, with many regretting their involvement.
