A school teacher told the story THE LARGEST ROBERIES OF ALL TIME:
1: The Central Bank of Iraq - March 18, 2003
Amount Stolen: $1 Billion in U.S. Dollars
Location: Iraq
The largest robbery of all time was done by none other than Saddam Hussein. On March 18, 2003, one day before the United States began bombing Iraq, Hussein allegedly stole $1 Billion from the Central Bank of Iraq. $650 million dollars were recovered when US troops found the money hidden in the walls of Saddam Hussein's palace. The rest of the money is unaccounted for, however, a hand-written note, from Saddam to his son Qusay, has surfaced that ordered bank officials to give his son $920 million the same month of the robbery. Qusay has been killed by US troops and the money is considered lost.

2: Banco Central In Brazil - August 6 & 7, 2005
A Tunnel Robbery
Location: Brazil
Amount Stolen: $65 Million
$65 million was stolen from the Banco Central in Brazil, after a gang tunneled 255 feet to the bank vault. The gang had rented a nearby house and put it in a fake gardening business' name, and spent three months digging the sophisticated tunnel. This tunnel was lined with plastic and wood, featuring air conditioning and lighting. Neighbors saw the vans of soil being removed each day, however, they found this to be a normal occurrence due to the type of business being conducted on the premises.
On the final weekend of the 6 and 7 of August, the gang broke through into the vault and stole five containers of 50 real notes, the estimate value was 164,755,150 realis, which is $69.8 million dollars. This money was in this vault awaiting the decision if it should be recirculated or destroyed. In addition, the money was not number sequentially, making it almost impossible to trace. Five men were later found with $5.4 million of the money and admitted to digging the tunnel, while the mastermind was found dead on the side of the road. At this point in time only $7 million has been recovered.
