For as long as there have been banks, there have been more than enough people happy enough to rob them.

In this episode of The Business of Crime, VICE World News looks into the world of bank heists - how to pull them off, why they often fail and how enterprising criminals are using advances in tech to take this old school form of robbery online.   

From hackers to old school heists, we find out how bank robbery is done around the world and look at the motivations and mistakes of the robbers themselves.
