Like... 3 or 4? What's that, two average wallets?

(Leaving aside the question of whether scamming a few hundred dollars out of someone's debit account is practical in any sense compared with all the other ways you could legally make way more money with the same skillset, of course.)

Yeah I was wondering, too. 30%, i.e. 1/3, success rate per card seems incredibly good, actually? But possibly I just completely misread what "30% after the 3 try limit imposed by the machines" means?

But you first have to observe them using the card… so 5 cards implies mugging 5 people, which is quite different from stealing wallets from random targets, easiest first.
