What type of criminal would you be?

gramar

If you've fallen on hard times or just fancy a career change what type of criminal activity would you get involved in to pay the bills? Would it be selling drugs, phishing, insurance scams maybe, a confidence trickster, a pimp, good old fashioned robbery? A politician maybe as most seem to think they're the biggest crooks in the country? Endless opportunities to make crime pay so what's it going to be?

I think maybe I'd go for armed robbery, stick 'em up kinda thing.

hatrickpatrick

Don't want to kick the thread off by being the ultimate mad bastard, but I probably wouldn't pay my TV license.

Alf Stewart.

Scooby Doo criminal.

An I'd of gotten away with it, if it hadn't of been for you meddlin kids.

Junkyard Tom

They'd call me 'The Gardener' because I'd always leave a rose at the scene of the crime.

A modern day war criminal, but not as bad as Bush or Blair ~ more your Ariel Sharon, murder a few thousand unfortunate Palestinians from time to time and right before facing justice I'd have a stroke and die in old age.

But since the worse I've ever done in life is get three penalty points for speeding, I'd probably just be a speeder collecting penalty points from time to time.

Manach

Hans Gruber : The Nakatomi Towers would be a heist in the classic mould.

Dyr

One of those ****ers who the cops know is durty but keeps the head down and they can't get a hand on

And then goes all respectable and buys a nice house on the same road as the commisoner

wil

Smooth.

With a kick ass white suit.

Capt'n Midnight

According to the RSA free speed surveys 98% of drivers break the law.

You can get up to five years for having a recording device in a cinema. Like a cameraphone. And there are lots of other copyright laws we may have inadvertently broken.

Lots of people haven't paid their TV licences or water. And has anyone received money from friends or family without declaring it for tax ?



We are already criminals.

foggy_lad

I'd go on the game and I'd be the best rent boy auld lad in town.

Tony Soprano. I reckon I'd be good at it. Wouldn't **** around on my bitch wife and make her be all "mwaaah, TONY", wouldn't get all mickey-swingy-competitiony with people and cause all sorts of problems for myself, just quietly and politely engage in some handy extortion and gambling stuff from a distance and definitely redecorate my house and eat a bit less food and enjoy myself.

Heckler

Charlie undercover in Its always Sunny

The crime genre in film is odd.

Take "HEAT", a bunch of murdering bastards who kill minimum wage workers for money yet we root for them. At least I did. I wanted Kilmer to get away.

But when its on our doorstep bank robbers are scumbags.

Arghus

A sociopathic serial killer with a heart of gold.

And a murderer murderer.

Drugs .......... the money comes fast and easy and there's plenty of it!

The goal would be to set a target figure, get that amount and get out before you get too big to be ignored by the other piranha's in the pond ......... the Gardai aren't really a problem as you'd practically have to hand yourself in before they'd notice you ........ even then it takes years for them to complete their "investigation". :rolleyes:

Once out, with the planned amount of profit, you need a plan to clean the money ....... either a small business (think chipper, corner shop etc.) that, on paper, is hugely profitable for a couple of years before selling up and retiring once you've managed to bank enough cash ......... or a small legitimate investment that gives you a steady reliable income without having to work too hard.

The problem is, once you're in, the business/money gets addictive and you end up forgetting about your exit plan ........... then one day you're retired by a competitor and you're worse off than ever!

Easca Peasca

White collar crime all the way :cool: I'd rather rob money wearing a three piece suit than a balaclava
