According to prosecutors, Sequeira has served previous long sentences for bank robbery.
A man who claims he's robbed at least 100 banks and that Ben Affleck's character in"The Town" was based on him was held without bail Thursday on charges of robbing two Boston banks and attempting to rob a third, prosecutors said.
William Sequeira, 59, was charged in Boston Municipal Court Central with two counts of armed robbery of a bank and one count of attempted armed robbery of a bank. In that show he claims to have robbed over 100 banks, and is seen telling a judge that Ben Affleck's bank-robbing character in"The Town" was based on him.
The latest charges stem from three new incidents. The first was a bank robbery at the Santander Bank on September 27. According to prosecutors, a man told the teller to “give me a hundred dollar bill or I’ll shoot you.” He left with $500.
