The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, were caught on camera robbing a Wells Fargo bank March 14, the FBI said.

Three boys dubbed the “little rascals” for allegedly robbing a Texas bank were behind bars Thursday, the FBI said.

The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, have each been charged with robbery by threat, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Houston said in an email.

“Because they are juveniles, their names, and no additional details will be released,” the spokesperson said.

    That last paragraph basically reads as “outlawed it without outlawing it”

    I’m not going to down vote you. Not sure who did or why.

      I think it’s people who by “control”, mean able to hide where their money is coming from, or ion other words mean control is the ability to cheat.
      It’s 100% because they want it to be traceable. I’m not sure, but I think I’m OK with that. Although it will make it hard to hide away a bit of money for a rainy day, when you are on social benefits. As it is, if you have more than $12k USD, you have to spend the above first, before getting any benefits.
      That may be a factor too, making it harder to cheat on social benefits. 12k doesn’t get you far if you need a roof repaired. But at least the value of a house isn’t counted.
