In Response To: Finished with Poker (Daniel Murphy)

Named after the notorious US criminal William Sutton (1901-80) who was charged with over a hundred bank robberies and who, when asked why he favored banks as his targets, is widely quoted to have said, “Because that's where the money is.” However, in his autobiography 'Where The Money Was: The Memoirs Of A Bank Robber' (published in 1976) he denies uttering those words and credits an unnamed reporter for them.

I always thought the quote was: Q: Why do you rob banks? A: Because that's where the money is.
