The main character is Roy Fewsmith.

At one time he made a firm decision to fraudulently get the money from the banking institution. The man decided to bring with him a special digital device, which was able to mislead the bank employee.

On the right day, the aforementioned male representative went to the Merchant Trust building. He stood for a short period of time near the door of the building and was scrolling in his head the details of the upcoming task. The protagonist thought about the fact that he could no longer stand near the entrance to the bank — otherwise there was a risk of attracting unnecessary attention to himself. The man was only worried about the surveillance cameras, but in order to reduce the possible risk, he attached a mustache to his face and also inserted lenses.

Later, he entered the bank and, pretending to be a foreigner, handed the teller a digital device, claiming it was a translator. Soon the bank employee, immersed in a trance state, handed the criminal money.
