The New York Police Department says the suspected perp (pictured here), walked into the Williamsburg bank, at 185 Broadway, around 5:41 p.m. on Dec. 29. He demanded cash and then fled on foot. He didn't get any money.

​A man robbed a bank on Gold Street in the Financial District on Monday, making a symbolic and probably unwitting stand against the big banks' greed and selfishness but also leaving with a bag of cold hard cash. At around 9 a.m., the suspect went inside the Sovereign Bank on Gold Street, pushed a woman out of the way, and passed the teller a note demanding money and stating that he had a gun. (Side note: whatever happened to old-fashioned bank holdups? Now all they ever do is pass notes to the teller.)

Instead of complying, the teller simply got up and walked away from her seat. The guy, who did not have a Plan B, had no choice but to leave.

The real Casanova.
​Pro tip for single ladies: if a man introduces himself to you at a club as Geovanni Kasanova, it's a big red flag. Do not become his girlfriend.
