Christopher Warren Lapp: Great Falls Wells Fargo Bank Robber
Posted by: J F ()
Date: November 14, 2018 01:49PM

60 year old white man who is a Doctor. Lives in a million dollar home in Great Falls. Classic case of panicking due to money problems. Did some research on his house on Zillow and it was bought for 1.3 million in 2005 and tried selling it several times and has been unsuccessful and even renting it out for $4000 a month. Very sad case. It's a shame someone down on their luck did this in an obvious sign of panicking. Hopefully he gets a good lawyer and makes a plea deal

Nothing I could find on court records in Fairfax county. This guy is Dr in nuclear science. Smart guy who for some weird reason robbed a bank and took a woman's car afterwards. Now has armed robbery, carjacking, and assault charges to face. Definitely needs Peter Greenspun! If anyone can get his sentence thrown out or reduced significantly it is Greenspun.

Highly educated white man living in million dollar home in Great Falls Virginia. Wow! Terrible. Totally expected to hear the police e some black guy or Hispanic. Due to his age and education he may not the 20+ the state will ask for. Was the gun displayed or implied? Don't know why he did this. Drugs, gambling, no job and running out of money? File bankruptcy rather than rob a bank for heavens sake. If he gets Greenspun he could get at the minimum about 10 years. Were talking 2 separate armed robberies. The bank and the woman's car.

So he's underwater on his home, maybe he robbed the same bank that holds the note. $4000 a month doesn't leave much after the property taxes, insurance and OPEX. Add in a mortgage and its a certainly a loss.

I did the same research JF,

Yah I bet he was underwater on his mortgage, and his energy consulting business was not making it... It's funny, he dumps the carjacked car near his home and then runs towards home through the woods. So much for the 'smart's' level of PHD's in Nuclear Engineering....

Feel bad story. Bought the house at worst possible time when the housing market was rising like my dick getting sucked on by my wife's slobbering mouth. He wanted to sell it but couldn't. Definitely panicked rather than many many more options. $5-7 grand? That ain't gonna solve shit. Too many risks and no great reward. Doesn't make sense here people. There are other things involved other than house problem. Drugs or gambling could be involved. Greenspun can help but he costs a lot of many.

Any idea on how much money he got from the bank? Real gun or fake gun? Loaded or unloaded? If it's fake gun that is a little better for him. Shows he never wanted to hurt anyone. Shouldn't have ditched his car near his house. At least he will probably go to federal prison in a low level facility because of his age and no prior record. Bank robbers are treated good in prison for some reason. I guess there is a level of respect for it.

I’m neighbor. Police were at my house on guard for over 3 hrs. They thought it was me at first. Mail lady said today he moved out over a month ago (I just moved in in July and never met him) and someone else has lived there whether renting or owning I’m not sure. Said he left no forward address so they held his mail for a month. After one month they started to send his mail back to sender. She said he came in couple of weeks ago and smelled of alcohol and was asking for his mail and said he will be needing it because he’s going to the hospital. She said we didn’t know what he was referring to and were confused by his comments and the fact he still never gave them a address for new mail the day he came in

Something more is up, he apparently was into classified programs and the fact he went back toward his home he doesn’t live in anymore is also weird.

MIT PHD and commits this stupid crime. Needs to get Greenspun and say you are mentally insane and go to Mental health facility and be out in a year or so. This doesn't make sense to me. 60 years old is old for a bank robbery.

A lot of interesting theories here, but I've know known Chris for 30 years, and for the last 5 - 10 he has been exhibiting more and more symptoms of mental illness. He was a brilliant guy, and a great story teller and entertainer. This is not the Chris we knew....this is mental illness.

Definitely a tragedy. It is now in the judidicial process to determine what should be done. Is he mentally ill? Probably. Is he in financial distress? Probably. He looks ill in his mugshot. So what is justice? Mental institution or prison?

We’ve known Chris and his family for decades and I am shocked by these events. I feel for everyone involved. He comes from a prominent family and has always been known for his education and knowledge. I do believe mental illness or some sort of altered mental status is the only explanation for such an event. We are praying for anyone connected to this event including Chris.

The State will be fair. That is all you can ask for in these cases. Bank robbery and car jacking with a gun is not a small little crime. Yes he has a PHD from MIT and he is a highly intelligent man and this and that. We have to know why? He needs a top lawyer if he has the money or he has family who can help with legal bills. If he is deemed mentally ill than he will be dealt with in a mental health facility until he gets well. If he is not mentally ill than Ray Morrogh will be forced to follow the guidelines of this serious crime. Thank God nobody was hurt but there was a gun involved allegedly. My guess is 5 years.

Has he shown signs of mental health issues? If yes than you need to help with a letter to the court. Maybe he was on a bad medicine that made him flip out.

Perhaps the “renters” who answered the door have really kidnapped the dude and are holding him hostage, forcing him to rob the bank. Did police get a copy of the lease?

Stop saying this is sad.. This guy could have sold his house and probably still be richer than 75% of the people in this country. He was spoiled and greedy and should get the same sentence any other criminal gets. I feel more sorry for the poor people who steal. They actually need it for food, not for their Land Rover.

It's an old story where someone signs an aggressive mortgage because they have an awesome salary, and then a few years later they take an income hit, and suddenly that expensive mortgage is undoable. And shucks, a 6% realty commission on a sale of 1 million is going to be $60k. And if the property is a couple $100k underwater, that makes things much worse.

Don't know if that is the case here, but I see lots of high rollers leveraged up to their eyeballs.

He paid $1.3M and would be lucky to get $900k after all the selling fees.

Provided he didn't opt for an Interest-only loan, he's been paying down the mortgage for the last 13 years. Provided an Interest rate of 5%, that means he's paid down maybe $340k.

But there's more to this story:

It looks like he was evicted from a property by his own family in 2016: Fairfax Case: GV16011496-00. If I had to guess, his family took possession of the property, and then decided to evict him in order to rent it out. No financial award; strictly a "Get Out" thing, but it is strange considering he is still considered the owner in Fairfax County's Real Estate database. Maybe he signed an understanding with the family that he couldn't live there.

Also had a a medical case that was dismissed this year: GV18014907-00.

I do feel somewhat sorry for this guy. There are clearly some life challenges this guys been through that we just wouldn't know without a visit to the Fairfax Courthouse.

Praying for you Lisa and all of the Lapp family. I've known Chris for over 20 years and he is one of the nicest guys ever. Totally shocked and saddened. I will go to the courthouse tomorrow and then the jail to visit Chris and try to bail him out as soon as possible.

Wow! I hate to hear stories of greedy relatives to their own family. Probably has an Attorney somewhere in his family who knows how to "steal" legally. OK, so this and other financial problems. Still no excuse to go in to a bank with a gun and rob it for cash reward. This is wrong even if you are 60 years old. He must get the same sentence as some black guy in his 20s from Southeast DC or anywhere. Don't matter. Crime is crime and sentences should be color blind. However we are in Fairfax County and white jurors are known to give long sentences to blacks and Hispanics and much shorter to whites which is wrong but this is the truth. In my opinion I think he should get at least 20 years for bank robbery with a gun and car jacking with a gun. Blacks get 20 years just for car jacking in PG County

He's being held without bond. Bail is generally for people who don't pull a gun on two people. Had he not used a weapon, maybe he'd get out. But using a firearm? Twice? No chance.

Mental illness can definitely make you go postal. Virginia Tech shooter? Las Vegas shooter? Sandy Hook shooter? etc...

Can't say mental illness is definitively the case here and there are plenty of folks who are mentally ill and would never hurt a fly. But it can lead to some destructive behavior.

what are you talking about jack ass? are those some rules you think exist?

bank robbery (means armed) means jail

and judge that said or did otherwise is complicit in the crime and will go to jail with him

I had an encounter with this guy at Riverbend restaurant on Fort Hunt Road last year. This guy was out of his mind. He was aggressive, rude and talked (bragged) nonstop about his family. Two minutes into crossing paths with him, he told me that Werner von Braun was a houseguest when he was a kid. I figured he was just another typical DC area douche trying to flash his feathers. Only slightly surprised to see him in trouble. If he needed help, he sure wasn’t getting enough of it.

It is sad when someone turns to crime in a state of panic for money. He chose the most direct way which is bank robbery. Nobody got hurt and the money was returned and the car was returned. No prior record. Greenspun could definitely help this guy out. The question is how he will get the money to pay for Greenspun. Hopefully his family and friends will do this or set up a Go Fund Me page.

i'd love to hear his story

he's one of only a very few white male doctors left in fairfax: the rest are fucking foreigners with fake degrees who give deadly medical advice to whites

something like %80 of medical doctors in the USA are "researchers" who are out of work getting government money 'because md's are so damn important' (important how? they aren't rendering aid to anyone!)

this guy had a mansion and was leasing it and STILL couldn't pay the mortage on time

IT LIKELY MEANS HE WAS GETTING FUCKED HARD BY OBAMA PROGRAMS AND DECIDED TO ROB THE ROBBERS - WHICH BTW IS NOT ILLEGAL - IF AND ONLY IF HE CAN PROVE IT

you don't see this now adays because many corrupt people are in gov and media


it's a common practice of a corrupt bank or auto sales to make a mortage and "GET IT BACK

GET IT BACK ILLEGALLY: here's how

example: give a doctor a mortage than pull his obama "study funding"

example: asian dealer sells car to employee, then after payments (before ownership) fires employee and uses political ties to insure it's unlikely employee will be employed to finish payments resulting in REPO

ASIAN CARS HAVE BECON LOCATORS FOR REPO - it's so asian dealers can repossess a car as soon as a payment is late

YOU CAN GUESS WHY

It is very sad that he is in jail but he chose to do what he did. He risked several lives due to the fact he had a gun and could have used it or someone could have pulled their gun out and a gun fight could have occurred. No Go Fund Me page for an armed bank robber. Go Fund Me probably wont allow it.

Why would a PhD in nuclear physics commit a bank robbery? This case is so weird.

He had a public defender. My guess is there was an obvious issue with the case. A mental breakdown perhaps. Or just a mental handicap.

Maybe the case was moved to Federal court located in Alexandria then? I'm not familiar with any jail arrangements between Alexandria and the Federal side.

first off, no one mentioned a doctor who might have become opiate addicted, which is a real possibility - some of them do

yet many who go postal, if media ever repeats their words (usually media covers it up), complain of government over-reach

the same government that is pushing psych pills and use of fake gov psychologists in courtrooms and forced medications in prisons

WHICH IS WHAT DR MENGOLA, WWII NAZI, DID. emprisoned jews and used medicine for torture, coverups, and corrupt study

bank robbery motives aside: the real dangerous person here is the person who wants the story of the motive covered up and forced medications

Average bank robber in this area gets between $5000-$10,000.

Sorry for the bad news but Christopher Warren Lapp is at Butner Federal Prison in North Carolina. It does not give a release date but he is in prison and it is the same prison Bernie Madoff is at. Medium Security. My guess is 5 years.

My bad. He is at Butner Federal Medical center prison. This is better than the actual prison. Probably did a plea deal for his mental health issues. Robbing a bank and armed carjacking has to have some federal time. Looks like he had a good lawyer who did a good job keeping him away from the rough prison.
