I wonder if Ted is gonna call up the U.N. and ask for some of his money back...

Assuming he even sent a check.

I think he put the money in some sort of account and the UN was supposed to get the interest from it every year. Interest rates being low, however, they aren't getting as much as they originally thought.

Ah, schadenfreude, one of life's little pleasures!!
