“Attila the Bun” had a messy hairdo and the “Button-Up” bandit wore button-up shirts. Both are now behind bars along with many other bank robbers whose FBI nicknames may have helped cement their identificiation. Catchy criminal names are nothing new, but their continued use helps the FBI gain media attention and public awareness. The names can’t be “too funny” or a motive for retribution and you have to rob three banks to get one. My favorite name from the article is the “Can you hear me now?” bandit who always had a cellphone to his ear.
