The weight of $1 million in $100 bills alone is about 22 pounds (10 kilograms), according to testimony from a U.S. Treasury official to Congress. If the cash were in various denominations, like $5s, $10s and $20s, the weight of $1 million in cash could be closer to 250 pounds (115 kilograms), which could bring the overall weight of last weekend's haul to a whopping 7,500 pounds (3,400 kilograms), or about 3 1/2 tons (3.18 metric tonnes).

Sutton said it's likely the criminals who pulled of the caper already had a plan in place for how to launder that much money.

β€œIt's an interesting question: How do you get rid of that amount of cash?” he said. β€œI know it's a quandary we'd all like to have, but the reality is these criminals probably had that in their repertoire.”

"thieves were able to breach the money storage facility in the suburban Sylmar neighborhood and then crack into the safe containing the cash."

Does Dominion make money storage facilities?
