I was approached by a group of five armed robbers to act. They were bail refused and out at Long Bay. At the first conference they assured me the COPs had nothing cause they were innocent.
The brief was served along with 348 hours of telephone intercepts of the clients speaking with each other over months.
I immediately went out to Long Bay and said to the boys “I have been served with the brief and it includes 348 hours of telephone intercepts are you sure you want to pay me to listen to it. Perhaps you might consider changing your pleas?”
The boss “Mate, we never spoke on the phone we’re been around the block. Even when we did we spoke in code. Right boys.” Lots of nodding and back slapping confirmation.
Well back I went and sure enough they had a code. It was brilliant in its simplicity. What they did was substitute the word ‘bricks’ for the word ‘money’.
So when they held up the armoured car delivering the payroll to the major licensed club in Sydney before the robbery while waiting for it to arrive they were recorded speaking to each other saying things like “how many bricks do you think we will get” and “remember don’t go splashing your bricks around”…
The funniest recording however was from some weeks before because it turned out they had hatched their cunning plans at their local pub.
They felt comfortable doing so because it was a pub where others of their profession hung out.
Unfortunately there is no honour among thieves and one of the groups at the pub stole their plan and got in first.
This led to a series of very angry telephone exchanges from the boys outraged that their cunning plan had been stolen and their conversations provided sufficient information for the police listening to identify and arrest the other group.
Needless to say the boys thought this was poetic justice which needed to be discussed on the phone and of course it reinforced to them how clever they were not like these dopes. I laughed my head off reading the part where they congratulated themselves for being too smart to talk on the phone.

Neuromorphic simulations employing random walks can track X-rays passing through bone and soft tissue, disease passing through a population, information flowing through social networks and the movements of financial markets”
