[Miss Marple]

There is an interesting name from the past...Marc Rich.

Possibly another source for those boxes of money found in Iraq.

I am getting sleepy. New blood pressure medicine and too much breaking news. I think I'll call it a night.

By tomorrow, I expect there will be more interesting developments.

Good night, all!

Wasn't he involved with arms dealing?

I was thinking the same thing and managed to dig up some relevant info that may help connect dots. It seems there was a breakdown by department of 'missing/unaccounted for' funds for 1999 or 2000, but I could find only a couple.

You always say such interesting things, Miss Marple. Was it not you who brought up Marc Rich's name with regard to the huge attempt by a Chinese bank to pass counterfeit bonds into the banking system ? That has disappeared off the radar. Perhaps the Chinese are somehow complicit in the large amounts of US currency found in Iraq, obtained through leveraging some of these bonds ?
