On Friday, a federal jury acquitted him of bank robbery, apparently agreeing with his defense that, whatever he did, it wasn't threatening enough to meet the legal standard for bank robbery. And on Monday, according to federal authorities, Worku allegedly walked into a bank, handed over a note - "Please Give me the money I'll pay it back soon." And again he walked out with cash.
The first case dates to December 2021, when Worku was arrested for allegedly robbing a Fifth Third Bank in Little Village. A bank employee identified him as the man who came in with the polite demand letter, then left with nearly $600.
