Babudar also entered a guilty plea to stealing $303,845 from the First Class Credit Union in West Des Moines on July 13, 2022. He leaped over the teller counter, demanding that staff open the bank vault while brandishing what looked to be a silver and black pistol. The First Interstate Bank in Clive was the target of the third robbery in Iowa on November 30, 2022.

As to the press statement, he carried off the heist following two unsuccessful attempts at theft in Minnesota. He reportedly demanded at gunpoint that workers open the bank vault and leaped over the teller counter, just like in the West Des Moines heist. After receiving $25,000 from the staff, he took out on foot. Cell phone location data, according to court documents, placed Babudar in Iowa on the days of the thefts.

Money Laundering In Casinos

Babudar used casinos as a means of money laundering after he was robbed in July. He made huge payments to his bank accounts and spent thousands of dollars on casino chips, including $131,700 in three days. He reportedly spent a total of more than $1 million buying and redeeming chips from many casinos in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois between April and December 2022. Babudar was arrested in July 2023 in Sacramento, California, and has been held in federal jail without bond ever since.
