Well I don't think this is it but it's a weird coincidence.
I got to thinking that the 10,000 faces could be on banknotes.
The plane connection made me recall the robbery with the guy who jumped out of the plane with a backpack of cash.
So I googled that and he did indeed get 10,000 $20 notes.
His name was DB Cooper (believed to be a false name. Which it turns out stood for Dan.
Probably wrong but spooky....
