It has been reliably established that a top politician has lost staggering $10 Million hard cash while coming back from Hague.

As far as i have known before its not possible to travel with such cash in international airports. Is standard telling us the truth or just payukaring

The O6 will face justice in many ways.

@Freiks, suppose they owner of the cash had diplomatic immunity, would it not be possible to just zip past customs in most airports?

10 million dollars. Is this for real. What do you carry 10 million dollars in cash for? Methinks must be more sensational journalism.

This story is Rubbish. US$10 million in cash is equivalent to 1000 bundles of $100 dollar bills which are bundled into U$10,000 sets.

According to the U.S. Treasury, "In $100 bills, the weight of $1
million is about 22 pounds." [that's 10 kg.]...
http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/rr2748.htm

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.

A 10 million dollar swift transfer to the ICC would have taken less than 24 hours. Can even be received in much less time if deemed urgent. Why carry cash?
All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.
