So you think a billionaire is hanging around Iraq waiting to retake control? His priority now would be to stay alive and hold to what he stole. He lost his money therefore he is likely dead.

He lost his money therefore he is likely deadThat some money to which Saddam could have had access before the war has been found after the war does not indicate either that (1) Saddam ever personnally possessed that particular money, or (2) that Saddam personally lost that money. There's lots of stolen money floating around Iraq. Since Saddam clearly stole some large chunk of money from the Iraqi people is clear. I doubt very much that he would keep all of it in cash, as opposed to stashing it in secure locations around the world. Given the amount of money he likely stole, he likely has sufficient resources to stay hidden for a long time to come.

He lost some of what he stole, not all. You can be sure he has accounts all over the world that we haven't gotten to.
The money doesn't mean much. Heck, it probably wasn't even mostly his. There's a whole government of crooks who were stealing.
He either wants power, or can't get out. Given his mind, I am betting it's the former.
