Robbery of VistaCorp

The Robbery of VistaCorp, otherwise known as the VistaCorp Job, was a planned robbery by Scott Lang on both VistaCorp Headquarters and VistaCorp CEO Geoff Zorick's mansion, out of revenge against Zorick and the company after they had committed corporate fraud by extorting and illegally charging four million dollars worth of funds from their clients.
==Background==
Scott Lang accepted a job working at VistaCorp, only to discover that the company was overcharging its customers. Lang attempted to fix the code, believing it to be an error. However, the company's CEO, Geoff Zorick, scolded him and ordered him to change it back. Lang attempted to report this to Human Resources, but was fired and smeared in the newspaper. Lang spoke to his wife, Maggie, about it, and Maggie asked him not to steal the money back for their daughter's sake. However, Lang decided to do so anyway.Ant-Man - Scott Lang: Small Time

Scott Lang discretely entered VistaCorp Headquarters, disabling the security system. He plugged his computer into the mainframe, entering the proper code to return the stolen money to VistaCorp's customers. He entered Geoff Zorick's office and smugly sat in his chair, inspired by the fact that Zorick was vacationing.
He went to Zorick's mansion, getting filmed on a security camera while on his way, ten blocks away and discretely entered.WHiH Newsfront: 1.03: WHIH EXCLUSIVE: 2012 VistaCorp break-in security footage involving cyber-criminal Scott Lang He fed the guard dogs chicken in order to placate them, stealing jewelry to give to his wife and further returning money on Zorick's home computer.

The robbery caught the attention of Hank Pym, who would remember Lang three years later when he needed someone to help rob Pym Technologies, which had been taken over by Darren Cross.
The news sided with VistaCorp when reporting the robbery, believing Scott Lang to simply be a thief who wanted the money for himself. Lang was interviewed about the robbery a week before his early release by WHiH World News reporter Christine Everhart, during which he maintained his stance about VistaCorp's theft and accused Everhart of bias, since WHiH was owned by VistaCorp.WHiH Newsfront: 1.05: WHIH EXCLUSIVE: Scott Lang Interview
