But for this my best skill is the ability to convincingly talk utter nonsense. I’m quick-thinking and cool under pressure. I’m good at BS’ing and getting people to believe I am what I say I am.

I could spend all the money in really dumb ways.

I could bust you out of jail when you get sent down - I have the keys.

Forged passports, forged I.Ds, getaway cars, hideaways in other countries, yup, I know who can do that for you - but it will cost.

Yes. Especially if we get very tight outfits.

Always wished I was in the French Resistance. I’d have been the master forger.

At work (ad agency) they’d come to me and ask if i had my Goudy Oldstyle Pen or my Gill Sans Pen handy, because I could hand-letter something indistinguishable from a font. I think it’s my ability to so clearly visualize what the type should look like that I’m just tracing the “mentally projected” image.

So if you need documents, security badges, or bathroom passes for the hallway that the server/lab/vault is in, I’m on board.

(Oh, if you need passports, I might need some practice on the holograms and security features…)

Ooh, ooh! If we need to travel undercover as a curling team (I even know to say “rink”), I can throw an out-turn guard that’ll sit down right on the hog line.

Only works as a part of our plan if the target is in Scotland, Switzerland or Canada where we can count on a handy “bonspiel” nearby.

Bonus: we get to wear loud tartan sweaters, and carry bottles of really good single-malt Scotch.

I could defend the rest of you in court if things go South.

Actually, only the first one to call me. We’ll cut a deal and snitch out everyone else. Sorry about that

I can join forces with you if we can stop at Burger King for onion rings on the way.

Onion rings will make the two of us the Deadly Duo. Better get some gas masks for the rest of the team.

I’m gonna tell the authorities about all of you unless I receive a substantial bribe. I don’t like beer. I do like money. And drugs; I really like drugs.

I’m happy to kill random people whenever necessary. The more the better. You can call me Mr. Brown.

I program robots.

That is, if you need robots to position round, flat things to within 25 microns…

When will the OP reveal the heist, I mean, who is going to be ripped off or strung?

Ooh, bad news. If you didn’t get the coded note detailing the mark, you are the mark.
