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. And here I was thinking liquidated assets cannot be frozen......

I dont think so... but I suspect another wazuan writes that article.... sometimes you wonder what background check the journalists do before they feed us all this crap! And google is everywhere, even on their phones. I think it should be a shame being a journalist these days.... Wale wa kitambo they used to do thorough work.

Maybe being at the hague gave someone an opportunity to be paid since pharmacies are legal over there and Kenya acts as a transit centre. All in all thats alot of money to be carried in cash  Kenya ni yetu sisi sote

True story. Have you thought that it is not actually cash but travellers cheques? Some of us who have never travelled don't know the difference The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

That story must have a KK kind of error.the weight[100kg] itself, I think cannot be allowed as a carry on in any airline. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3
