Another story said the victim was a music executive.... I’m going out on a limb and guess rap music executive.
As it turns out, he deals mostly with classical orchestras and Broadway musicians.
This is more likely related to unions or Russian mobsters than rappers.
And yes, it is unheard of for anyone - even in NYC - to withdraw that much from a bank account in cash.
You wire that kind of money, you don't walk around with it.
