In his 11 days on the run, Musulin had become one of the country’s most popular antiheroes. More than a hundred Musulin Facebook fan groups have been created and he even receives marriage proposals.
在他11天逃亡期間，穆蘇林已成這個國家最受歡迎的反派英雄之一。Facebook上有100多個穆蘇林粉絲團，他甚至收到求婚請求。
"The context of the financial crisis has fostered sympathy toward this type of enterprise, " a supporter said. This seems to be the essence of Musulin’s support. Many people in France are still very angry about the economic crisis and hold a grudge against the banking system for being one of the causes of it. It’s not surprising that a bank heist would have such broad appeal — it’s almost as if Musulin was a modern-day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich （the banks） to give back to the poor （himself）.
「金融危機的背景助長了對這種勇氣的同情」，一名支持者說。這似乎是支持穆蘇林的重點，許多法國人至今仍對這次經濟危機感到憤怒，對銀行體系怨恨在心，認為它們是禍首之一。就好像穆蘇林是現代羅賓漢，劫富（銀行）濟貧（他自己）。
