DUMBEST BANK ROBBER IN HISTORY



MediaTakeOut.com learned that Jesse Hippolite was arrested after he put photos of himself holding his swag on Facebook - posted "Crime pays my bills!" then changed his profile name to a famous criminal. Jesse Hippolite, 23, is accused of robbing three banks and linked to sixteen more raids and was only caught after he uploaded images of himself holding wads of cash and champagne on the social network site.

Hippolite even changed his Facebook name to ''Willie Sutton Jr'' - one of America's most famous bank robbers. Hippolite was linked to the bank robberies by a friend's car registration plate which was used in the crimes. FBI agent Bradford Rice checked his Facebook page and noticed he had posted images of himself holding money, expensive wine and had changed his profile name to legendary bandit ''Willie Sutton Jr'' who was nabbed in 1952 and was known to be a 'master of disguise'.

But Hippolite had posted incriminating photos and also posted comments on Facebook such as "What If We All Got Fed Up With This Recession And Started Running Inside Every F------ Bank T0 Give Us The Money That Belongs To Us??. In another posting, Hippolite noted, "Crime pays my bills!"

He has now been charged in three stickups and is suspected of sixteen others in Brooklyn and Queens. In each robbery, a black male suspect handed a teller a handwritten note that stated, with slight variation,"ÒGIVE ME ALL THE MONEY OR ELSE EVERYBODY DIES!!! $100s $50s $20s ONLY," although according to a U.S. District Court criminal complaint there is no mention of a weapon being used during the robberies. In another raid a witness noted the first three letters of the license plate on the getaway Nissan Altima.

The car belonged to one of Hippolite's friends and agents began checking his Facebook account. Hippolite's web page had an incriminating post - 47 minutes before a July 1 robbery he posted "I Gotta Get That $$$$$ Man!!!". Hippolite was held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Feds say he stole $32,000 during his raids - a far cry from Sutton's $2 million haul.
