Mangione said during his arraignment, “I don’t know where all that money came from,” referring to “$8,000 in cash [and] $2,000 in foreign currency” that law enforcement claimed was on his person. Prosecution also referenced a “faraday bag” as part of their argument that Mangione engaged in “criminal sophistication”, while Mangione claimed the bag were merely “waterproof”. This was part of a larger argument to deny Mangione bail.

      Yeah I was gonna say what’s next? Encrypted communications? Pseudonyms online? I would have expected criminal sophistication from the 3D printed gun and the subsonic bullets, not the bag.
