Los Angeles:

The FBI has linked the "20 Questions Bandits" bank robbers to a hold up that occurred here in Artesia at the East West Bank last November 19, 2009 in Artesia.

Now, FBI Agents and detectives with multiple law enforcement agencies in three counties are seeking the public’s assistance in learning the identity and the whereabouts of these stick-up bad boyz.

If you know who the "20 Question Bandits" are. you could be $100,000.00 richer. The "20QBs" are dangerous, and they need to be found. They have robbed at least 11 banks in Ventura, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties.

U.S. Bank, East West Bank in Artesia, Cathay Bank in nearby Rowland Heights, and several Bank of America locations from Oxnard to Newport Beach have been hit by the bandits.

Bank of America is offering a reward of up to $100,000.00 in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for these robberies.

During the various robberies, the bandits were extremely violent and, in some cases, displayed weapons. Witnesses have described four black males, in some cases armed with guns, who have forced bank employees and customers inside the bank to comply with their demands for cash and to follow their instructions. In some cases, the bandits also robbed victims of personal belongings.

During the initial robberies linked to this group, the suspects asked several questions while inside the bank, according to witnesses and were, therefore, nicknamed the "20 Questions Bandits."

The most recent robbery attributed to the 20 Questions Bandits occurred on April 2, 2010 at a Bank of America in the city of Newport Beach. The following is a list of robberies law enforcement has linked to the 20 Questions Bandits:

3/3/09: U.S. Bank, Thousand Oaks, CA
7/2/09: Bank of America, Thousand Oaks, CA
11/13/09: U.S. Bank, Ventura, CA
11/19/09: East West Bank, Artesia, CA

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
