A sentencing has been scheduled for March 10.

Federal authorities said that Nguyen entered the Bank of Princeton in Voorhees, N.J., wearing all black clothing and a facemask.

He approached a bank teller and handed her a demand note stating, "This is a robbery. Give me all 100's, $50,000, I have a gun," authorities said.

After reading the note, the teller gave Nguyen $1,760 in cash, authorities said.

Nguyen then approached another bank employee and told her to open another cash drawer. He lifted his shirt, displayed a black handgun in his waistband, and then fled the bank.

Nguyen faces a maximum penalty of 25 years' imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and a term of five years of supervised release.
