First of all, this guy wasn't poor by any standards. Had several siblings in West who used to send him money regularly. He got into crime through the confraternity he joined while in a SE University. He became "defence minister" of his confra, in charge of ammunition et al.
He started robbing because he had access to weapons to do it, boys at his disposal and there was little danger of getting caught. Worst-case scenario, police stop you on way back from operation, you settle them, simple. They always took the bribe, he said.
