$40m+ in an expense account based in gold bars is absolutely crazy. CIA agents must have access to untold resources if this is seen as a somewhat regular 4 month spend. Seems it is, given that they seemingly weren't concerned about the $40+ million being taken out, but where it was being held.
- coliveira 5mo agoThe "resources" are off the books, it must be just the tip of the iceberg.
- asdff 5mo agoI'm imagining its like the Continental Hotel in John Wick. Everything you need to fund and arm an insurgency, checking it out from facilities like I might with an AV adapter.
- sneak 5mo ago$40M is a trivial amount of money to everyone involved in this matter. It’s only a few hundred 1kg bars.
- Tangurena2 5mo agoAnd the bars are the size of a cellphone.
- simulator5g 5mo agoYou're thinking in pre-covid peasant dollars. $40m isn't that much anymore, and frankly never was to these people.
- DANmode 5mo agoNobody’s talking about how much money it is to them, to some degree, that’s our employees and often our money - it’s our concept of how much money is okay to fuck around with that matters.
