Factual errors

Jay supposedly picks a lock with a screwdriver which is impossible. It takes two tools to pick a lock. one is used to apply rotational pressure to the cylinder while the second, the pick is used to push the tumblers up one at a time starting with the farthest back, when each tumbler is in the right position, the rotational pressure holds it in place. Once they are all aligned properly the cylinder can turn and the lock is picked. It is called lock picking because of the pick.

Revealing mistakes

The briefcase contains one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). According to Augie every bill has a tracking strip in it and he says there are one-thousand (1,000) transmitters. The bills are one hundreds ($100) . Bills are bundled with one-hundred (100) to a bundle worth ten-thousand dollars ($10,000) so there should be ten (10) bundles. However, the suitcase contains twelve (12) bundles in the top layer which is already too many, and there are at least five (5) layers judging by the thickness of the metal case meaning the case contains at least six-hundred thousand dollars ($600,000).
