This implies that the guy was carrying 100Kg of hand luggage... the area of a single bill is 6.6294 cm by 15.5956 cm which is .066294 m by .155956 m = 0.0103389471 square meters Since $1,000,000 requires 10,000 bills, the total area of the bills is 103.389471 square meters... multiply this by 10, to get $10million and the total thickness is 124 micrometers * 10,000 = 1,240,000 micrometers = 1.24 meters. So the height of a single stack is 1.24 meters. And the volume of the stack is 103.389471 * 0.000124 = 0.01282 cubic meters I rest my case. wow! very insightful

The Standard journalists and editors should read SAC Cohen's response up there. Journalists are too lazy to research on their stories and simply put up rumours. According to UK, he was worth (approximately, apparently) US$10 million. http://www.kenyanentrepr...bout-10-million-dollars
Now that he lost the US$10 million at the airport, can we now effectively say, he is poor? HOAX! Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Maybe the cash was to bribe the Hague judges Kenya style. Wakakataa.

The Standard newspaper could have got the amount carried wrong, but it was sure a hell load of cash....we will never know, political interest has to be protected...ama is this linked to Ocampo asking them to declare their wealth?

Standard has to sell more so on a friday when there is no news.
Like i said in an ealier thread, this paper is not worth being used as a flying toilet.
Call it what you like, but the quality of news in this gutter paper as well as their editors is lower than low.
