Millions of dollars in suitcases fly out of MSP, but why? ***FLASHBACK 2018***

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - For five months, Fox 9 has been investigating what appears to be rampant fraud in a massive state program.

This fraud is suspected of costing Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year.

The Fox 9 Investigators reporting is based on public records and nearly a dozen government sources who have direct knowledge of what is happening.

These sources have a deep fear, and there is evidence to support their concerns, that some of that public money is ending up in the hands of terrorists.

SUITCASES FILLED WITH MONEY

This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on.

On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms.

Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

Welcome to Somalia.

We’d like half of the cash!

I think I’ll apply for a baggage handler at that airport.

Perhaps currency export forms should have to be filled out.

....

Is there any substantial reason to believe any of the currency will wind up in the hands of any person or entity of a type the US government has power to sanction?

What do you expect for a dem run airport authority. TSA may run security, but the Dems have found a ways to place Somalians in charge. Nothing so see here, move along. It’s the only way.

Only congress holds hearings on crimes against the people when the statute of limitations on prosecution has expired.

Minnesota started aggressively going after daycare fraud in 2014. Back then, it was easier to track the flow of money.

The state would pay a daycare's bill and within hours of the money showing up in the business’s bank account, funds were being wired to the United Arab Emirates.

Those wire transfers stopped after a few centers were busted.

Which brings us back to those mysterious suitcases at Minneapolis-St. Paul International.

In 2015, investigators documented $14 million in carry on cash. By 2016, it had mushroomed to $84 million. Then last year, $100 million.

This scam has been going on for 10+ years. That means it has been sanctioned, approved and protected at the highest levels of our government.

Tell Somalia we want our money back with interest or Mogadishu becomes a crater.

Think Church Committee-1970’s. Think Frank Church, a wannabe POTUS who exposed the presence of Russian troops in Cuba. They had been there but Church brought it out in the open. Carter was president and it hurt him politically among many other screwups.

Now if ‘60 Minutes could have just done a 15 minute report on one of those Sundays back then. Trump would have looked bad but he could have stopped it. Since it was going on under Obama that might have kept it hush-hush. Where was the GOP congress?

Meanwhile, if a white Christian conservative tries to take $1000 in cash down to The Caribbean, he gets arrested and is branded a terrorist

The second video dropped by Nick Shirley on Wednesday had a retired TSA agent stating the same thing. I would recommend everyone watch his two most recent videos and not just the clips posted on the internet.

In the interview Shirley posted the TSA agent stated he worked at the Minneapolis Airport until retirement. He witnessed Somali couriers taking suitcases through the airport 2-3 a month. They always traveled in pairs. They traveled from MN to ATL to Dubai. Where they would wire the money to Somalia. He also stated they would be informed prior to their arrival at the airport that these people would be traveling with this cash in excess of $10K. That they were not to be stopped or the cash seized. This means to me that someone in the MN or Federal government knew that this was happening.

As much as I can’t believe I’m saying this, but where is the IRS?

Apparently the cash was being declared as required when millions of $ were being carried as carry-on. Not illegal but there may be questions asked.
