...and a 152 billion payoff seems outrageous to me.

Is this the pallets of cash we know about?

IIRC, the cash on pallets was 1.5 billion or something like that.

— goes looking —

“$1.7-billion payment to Iran was all in cash due to ...” <- LA Times

Now, if THAT was hush money, the amount makes sense. We’ll see. Whistleblowers for the dark side have been pathetic hacks. This story could be click bait fiction, or ginned up by people that appear to know. Timing is good for dirty tricks, even unsolicited.

That payoff was, they unfroze 152 billion in Iranian assets, which had started as a much smaller amount of assets back in 1978 when they froze them after the “students” had taken over the US embassy and held the staff hostage. It had been growing at interest ever since and turned into the whopping 152 billion that -bama let them have. You could not print and ship 152 billion in cash, it would probably fill the cargo hold of ever airplane in the world with more left over. He shipped 1.5 billion and THAT required 3 planeloads of pallets full of cash. You know, a little walkin’ around money.
