FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- A 24-year-old who was fired as a financial adviser is accused of donning an "old man" mask to rob two South Florida banks.
Abraham Maghen told a judge on Wednesday he'd been making $5,000 a month but had racked up $30,000 in debt on credit cards and has no savings left because "he's not very good at finances."
The SunSentinel reports U.S. Magistrate Judge Alicia Valle advised that "it's time you learned."
The FBI says Maghen wore a "mask resembling an elderly individual" while robbing a Pembroke Pines bank May 2.
A week later, the same person robbed a bank in Boca Raton, explaining in a note to the teller that his grandson is sick and he needed $40,000.
Maghen is in jail and records don't list an attorney.
