FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami/AP) - A financial adviser who was fired from his job reportedly donned an "old man" mask and tried his hand at bank robbery.
Abraham Maghen, 24, told a judge on Wednesday he'd been making $5,000 a month but had racked up $30,000 in debt on credit cards and has no savings left because "he's not very good at finances."
U.S. Magistrate Judge Alicia Valle replied that "it's time you learned.
"
The FBI says Maghen wore a "mask resembling an elderly individual" while robbing a Chase Bank branch in Pembroke Pines bank on May 2nd. A week later, the same person robbed a bank in Boca Raton, explaining in a note to the teller that his grandson is sick and he needed $40,000.
Maghen remains in jail.
