So robbers rob a bank and take hostages. Then when nobody shows up or cares, the robbers call the feds to report the bank management for not having made a bigger fuss. The real victims aren’t the bank or the hostages. It’s the poor, ignored bank robbers.
More like robbers rob a bank and take hostages.
They threaten to kill a hostage, but still don’t get any money.
So they threaten to report the bank for not being up to code with an expired fire extinguisher if they don’t get some money.
They know the bank doesn’t give a shit about hostages being killed.
But a few pennies for a minor fine is a threat the bankers really understand.
