Crime doesn't pay in Omaha bank heists

One year ago, two men wearing ski masks and gloves walked into this South Omaha bank pointing guns and driving off with several thousand dollars, helped by a third man behind the wheel.

A few days later in West Omaha one of the three, wearing a hair net and medical face mask, robbed another bank driving off in a gold Jeep. 

Back in the 1950's one of the country’s most infamous bank robbers “Slick Willie” Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. 

Sutton said because that’s where the money is. 

Don’t tell that to 25-year-old Reik Kuany. 

According to federal prosecutors, Kuany—who was recently sentenced here in Omaha Federal Court—was involved in both those Omaha bank robberies, sending him to 140 months in federal prison, that’s just over 11-and-a-half years. He was also ordered to pay back the nearly $17,000 in stolen cash from the two banks.

Do the math and those two robberies paid all of $125 for every month Kuany sits inside Leavenworth Penitentiary.

By the way there is no parole in the federal system.
