| quote: | | May 6, 2007: Mexican agents seized over 200 million dollars in cash in a drug raid in March in Mexico City. This is believed to be the largest all-time seizure of cash by a law enforcement agency anywhere on the planet. US troops seized several multi-hundred million dollar caches in Iraq in 2003, but that was military action, not police. One unit of 3rd Infantry Division found 600 million dollars. The Mexican criminal investigation is still underway, but many Mexicans want the government to use the money for education programs and public welfare. There are not a lot of details about the raid, but Mexican authorities confirmed the raid involved illegal methamphetamines. The money was initially deposited in a government-run military bank then transferred to the Bank of America for "authentication" (ie, verification that the cash was real and not counterfeit). Most of the cash was in one hundred dollar bills |
who keeps it?
Well it will probably get broken up and spread then "some" will filter down to the community...
