"IIRC the FBI found out about the cash after Hurricane Katrina when he had the National Guard put their rescue activities on hold to go get his freezer with the cash."

"IIRC, the cash was in the freezer of his home near Washington, D.C., not at his residence in LA. He did get the NG to make accomodations to get his to his house in LA, but that was probably because of another stash."

No, fellas. The FBI sting with video and subsuquent search of the NEW ORLEANS residence was just before Katrina.

In the aftermath, during a "tour" of the devastation, he ordered the NG guys to bring him to his house. While retrieving items from his house, the truck became stuck in the mud, and had to be pulled out by another truck. A helicopter was also diverted from its rescue missions and sent to his house just in case the truck couldn't get out.

Please feel free to follow the links in post #175. The cash was found in the freezer in his home in Washington, D.C. His home in New Orleans was searched at the same time, but that is not where the cash was stashed.
