Once someone hinted that some names would make guards leave you alone,
one answer was pretty obvious--no need to look up source code!
Vaults store untold riches, right?  Who is rich as ...?
Why, Croesus, of course.  Spelling does vary
(Cresus, Croesus for Latin version, Kroisos for Greek),
which explains the presence of two names as reported.
Croesus was a King of Lydia in times of classical Greece,
and was reputed fabulously rich
(all sorts of fables were made up about him and his treasures).
Hence the saying "Rich as Croesus."

  --not mine!--of 26,000,000...)

But Croesus/Kroisos doesn't work on the vault guards over here.  Is this
only in 1.0?  Or 1.0.1?  Or 1.0.2?
