It was brazen even by Liberian standards. Shipping containers carrying the equivalent of US $104 million in Liberian bank notes, ordered by the Central Bank from printers in Sweden and China, arrived at Liberia’s port and then vanished.

I'm not a soccer fan, but apparently Weah used to be one of the best soccer players in the world.
Unfortunately, all the bills have been covered with black paint.
....guess they never heard of 747 cargo planes...
Weah’s son is on the US National Team.
There is probably a toilet paper shortage and the money is worth less than toilet paper.
Problem solved. I got a personal phone call from a Liberian who assured me he could find the cartons containing the missing bills if I just sent him a thousand bucks in small, used American currency.
It is not missing. I know exactly where it is and who took it.
It is on Earth and it was taken by Earthlings

Actually, the currency wasn’t U.S. currency, it was Euros and Swiss Francs. It would have been illegal for Obama to make a payment, but foreign currency was just a commodity. It had to be in foreign currency to evade U.S. law.
I was in Somalia in 1986. The Central Bank has run out of Somali Shillings, and needed more due to the rampant inflation. The largest denomination was a 20 Shilling note that was worth about 12 cents at that time.
They ordered additional currency notes from an Italian printer, but the printer insisted in being paid in hard currency, which Somalia did not have. After about a month of a severe currency shortage, in which it was impossible to buy so much as a loaf of bread, the US finally paid the printer directly to release the print job.
The money was flown into the airport and loaded in wooden crates onto a flatbed truck. The plan was to drive the truck to the Central Bank, which was across the street from the apartment building where I lived.
I was on my fifth floor balcony when the truck turned the corner about three blocks away to get to the bank. On the street was a solid mass of people. There must have been 20,000 packed into those three blocks. As the truck crept up the street, men jumped up onto flatbed and pried open the crates, and took the money and threw it in the air. The crowd would grab as much money as they could and run away, while more people poured into the street.
It took about an hour for the truck to go those three blocks, and when it arrived, all the money was gone. The crowds melted away, and after about a half hour, the truck drove away down the quiet street, having offloaded nothing.
It was one of the most extraordinary things I have ever seen.
If I had been a run-of-the-mill Somali citizen, I would have been right on top of that truck with my pry-bar.
Frankly, having the money stolen from the truck was probably better for the local economy that letting it get to the Central Bank where it could be doled out to the connected and the wealthy.
The government was not going to do the right thing with that money.
That’s a fun story. We’re really all the same, I realize now.
What is that...like $12.87?
Main point of outrage being the chilling idea of stacks of fungible currency piled up on the loading dock--just sitting there waiting for the eager fingers of the Islamic State to convert the paper into weapons in their ongoing war to establish a One World Caliphate.
Re: What is that...like $12.87?
It’s $104 million in US Dollars.
In “Liberian Republic Dollars” it’s about LRD $16 billion.
That was the funniest parody I have read in a long, long time!
