Coyle passed out some of the money, in $100 bills, to friends and neighbors. He was arrested later in 1981 at JFK Airport while trying to check into a flight to Acapulco; police found $105,000 of the cash in envelopes taped around his ankles. He was tried, but found not guilty of theft by reason of temporary insanity. The armored car company, Purolator Armored Services, eventually recovered around $1 million of the original amount.[1] Coyle struggled with drug addiction for most of his adult life. He committed suicide by hanging in his basement on August 15, 1993, about one month before the film Money for Nothing was released.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|work=The New York Times|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE6DE103EF935A2575BC0A965958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print|title=Joey Coyle, 40, Dies; Philadelphian Took Armored Car's Cash|first=Eric|last=Pace|date=August 16, 1993}} 2. ^{{cite web|work=The New York Times|title=Money for Nothing|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/121624/Money-for-Nothing/overview}} External links
