The man was not pleased with people telling him what to do and turned down the advice. He then allegedly posted the getaway car online, @Tshire shared:

“I actually saw that video he posted, and he also posted the getaway car. I couldn't believe that it could be true.”

The man raised eyebrows when he flaunted his riches right after FNB announced that they’ve experienced a R450 million had been robbed. The cops have been investigating the matter and the process led them to the man who showed off his money on TikTok.

South Africans were disappointed with how careless the gent was after securing R9 million.
