Fake Hasids Rob Jewelry Store

(video after the jump)

Diamond District wholesalers Atul Shah and Mahaveer Kankariya have finally been busted for staging the fake robbery in 2008 where thieves dressed as Hasidic Jews — completely ripping off the movie Snatch. In serious debt, owners of Dialite Imports planned it all to cash in on their $9.2 million insurance policy.

Atul Shah and Mahaveer Kankariya keep it classy with a traditional perp walk.

This crackpot scheme was exposed after surveillance tapes revealed Shah and Kankariya removing all the high-priced ice two hours before the robbery. They’re charged with grand larceny, insurance fraud and falsifying business records.

 

Personally, I’m charging them with a lack of imagination and a piss-poor job of ripping off a movie plot. Though I enjoyed Sugar & Spice, I never once tried dressing up as a cheerleader to rob banks with intricate gymnastic stunts. Also, the story’s inspired several painful "Kosher" headlines. Moral of this tale: Leave jewel heists to the professionals and Hollywood. And no one looks good dressed as an Hasid.

What do you think?

    It’s almost as bad when you ask tag heuer watches voters how the law will affect them personally. There is lots of doubt and some considerable belief or hope that the new law won’t affect them
