This is hilarious. If you're that stupid to carry around that insane amount of money, I'm sorry, but you deserve a reality check. Unfortunelty for this man he just got his

Because he is an idiot! Obviously it was someone who knew he was carrying so much cash. It should not be difficult for the key-stones to find out who robbed him.

While it may not have been prudent to carry 20 million yen in cash, the 68 year old victim probably, like me, remembers a time when you could feel safe in Japan with that amount of cash.

when i bought a house, you must bring cash. yes i went through the same thing but we did it in the security of the bank conference room, bank staff came to get signed bank slips , money changed hands all within the bank, doing it any other way is asking for trouble.

the old guy was bragging that he has money but nobody believed him so he came back and showed his money in the restaurant among other patrons. The fool and his money
