Can you explain this one:
"- PM calling son to ask how much money there is at home, son replies saying about 1 trillion, then switches to 3-5 kurush (cents in turkish)."
- esolyt 13y agoThe son refers to a trillion as "just a few cents". Which indicates they probably have a much higher amount of money kept secret.
- mrtksn 13y agoActually it's the Interior minister, the original OP probably made a mistake. The phone conversation goes like this: +son, tell me what do you have at home? is there anything... -no dad, what can I have? +how much money do you have at home? -only left overs from my own money, just few cents((3-5 kurush is an idiom to describe small, almost neglectable amounts of money)), you know about it... +how much? -about 1,000,000 Turkish liras(he says 1 trillion, in old currency - Turkey dropped 6 zeros from it's currency but people often use the old numbers) dad... 1,000,000 is about 450,000 USD you can listen to the recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJwlEpShpTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJwlEpShpTM here are some photos from the raid, leaked to the press : http://i.imgur.com/mqBxsRB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mqBxsRB.jpg
- cheesedawg 13y agoThanks, makes a lot more sense now (especially the part about dropping 6 zeros)
