Judge Sentences Man Convicted of Using ChatGPT to Plan Bank Robbery
The defendant used ChatGPT to search for robbery tactics and left cash behind after the heist, prosecutors said.
- A 23-year-old Omaha man was sentenced last week to 10 years in federal prison for using ChatGPT to plan and execute a bank robbery.
- Investigators discovered Lewis-Payne used the AI to research law enforcement response times and obtain instructions for maintaining a Llama Mini-Max handgun and acquiring ammunition despite being a convicted felon.
- At the i3 Bank near 156th and Spaulding, Lewis-Payne stole $9,175 while wearing a "distinctive outfit, including red Nike slides," captured by surveillance footage.
- Law enforcement tracked him after he fled a residential area, recovering the vehicle used in the crime, cash, and most of the outfit he wore during the robbery.
- The DOJ recovered Lewis-Payne's Google Maps search history, which confirmed his most recent search was for the bank location prior to the robbery, providing crucial digital evidence for prosecution.
