I'm a little confused about the part when they stole the money, so someone please explain it to me.
It is my understanding that this was staged earlier than we thought, and Benedict and his men were
looking at a tape, which showed the guys robbing his vault at their own constructed vault in the warehouse.

So, here's where I'm lost. If this was done two days or so earlier, and the SWAT (which was really the guys)
showed up, why were Clooney and the other two in the real vault? Remember all that comotion and the flare and
stuff when Pitt's character was screaming to shoot? Well, did Clooney and the other two stay in the vault
for the two days leading into the fight when they actually carried the money out?

The night of the fight Clooney/Damon/Limber dude went there.
They had ALREADY filmed the robbery.

The $160mil was not in the vault two days earlier.

Clooney was inthe casino to see Julia Roberts, got picked up, and was set to get beatup.
Then he went up in the ceiling and met Damon in the elevator.
They took care of blowing the safe door.
Then the SWAT came in, packed the money and left (all of em Clooney/Damon/Limber dude too)

yes, they filmed the "fake robbery" in a "fake vault" they built and then patched the "fake robbery video feed" into the casino system so it looked like the "real" robbery. Then the swat came in, took the money and walked out the door!

Ok, but what was up at the end when they were being tailed by the two security ogres from the casino? Brad Pitt acknowledged they were there right?

Then what about the chinese dude who went into that container and got out. And then Clooney and the other guy blew the vault's door open? Was that in the real vault or the stage vault?

He acknowledges the two guys but doesn't do anything about them because they're trying to see if he stole the money. Benedict said that if they ever slipped up, he would catch them. That's why Brad Pitt picked up George Clooney in such a crappy car. Brad Pitt can't do a damn thing about the henchmen unless he wants them to know they stole the money.

are you guys retarded or what? everything that you saw through the monitor at the security desk was previously filmed... everything you saw from the movie was what was really taking place... they stopped showing the real vault video as soon as the people were down in the vault... then when they made the phone call they switched it to the "real" feed which was the one filmed before...

If they were really smart, they should of anticipated the cops being called; thus the cop that came at the end to take George Clooney away, should of been an impersonator as well - just like the SWAT team was.
