Willie Sutton, the famed early 20th century bank robber was credited with explaining why he robbed banks with the following retort – “Because that’s where the money is!” Although Willie is credited with having stolen over two million dollars during his illustrious career as a bank robber, he also spent nearly half his life in jail. Accumulating a large amount of money doesn’t always equate with being smart.
Last week, the home of Philadelphia Eagle’s star wide receiver, DeSean Jackson was burglarized and whoever hit the Jackson residence walked away with jewelry, a handgun and over a quarter of a million dollars in cash. That’s right, a quarter of a million dollars in cash!
Who keeps a quarter of a million dollars in cash in their house? Well, apparently DeSean Jackson does. Hasn’t he heard there’s such a thing as a bank? I guess not!
Jackson earned $6.75 million dollars from the Philadelphia Eagles football team this past season, or $421,875 per game. That’s a nice chunk of change if you can find the work, but you’d think a guy pulling in that kind of money would have more sense than leaving a quarter of a million dollars laying round the house. That’s just begging for a guy like Willie Sutton to pay him a visit. In fact, somebody did.
