Brink's Robbery Linked Slain Suspects and Hidden Cash
The Boston area gang involved in the Brink’s heist faced multiple killings connected to the case. About $95,000 in hot money remains unaccounted for, with nearly $60,000 found hidden in a Boston shop. Buccelli and Bennett were jailed for receiving stolen funds. Buccelli died after his release. Authorities link further deaths to the case and O'Brien’s 1952 ambush. In Ohio, Lockbourne Base officials consider saving costs by using obsolete forms as scratch paper to cut paper bills in half.
