First up is an update on the South African armed courier badass Leo Prinsloo. You&#8217;ll recall he was the driver of the cash-in-transit truck that was ambushed and caught on video. We talked about him and the event <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=113270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. He&#8217;s come out since then and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehook.com\/article\/crime\/driver-evaded-heist-south-africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described, in his own words, the day here.<\/a> It&#8217;s not a long read, but it&#8217;s a good one. You can feel the frustration and sadness of a man watching his country spiral down the drain.<\/p>\n<p>Prinsloo also did an on-video interview with ArmorMax, the company that up-armored the Toyota he was driving that day. Repairs have already started on the truck, but most of the damage is still clearly visible. Fast forward to 9:21 in the video and he casually mentions how when he &#8220;About two or three hours later I went to use the toilet&#8230;and something dropped onto the floor.&#8221; Yeah, your massive titanium balls, dude!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4EEIXFr1bBg\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For those wondering, I can save you the time Googling.
