CIA Bank Heist?
Posted on:: August 21st, 2003
I have no idea if there’s any truth to this, but this article claims that the CIA engaged in an “ultra-secret operation to electronically remove an estimated $10 billion out of the Iraqi Central Bank hours before the start of Persian Gulf War II. The whereabouts of the money is not known.” The article (on the American Free Press site) cites International Currency Review, a real journal with no Web site that I can find. That this story hasn’t been picked up anywhere either indicates that the media are sheep or, more likely, that the story is bogus.

I wonder if they sent the money to the Liberian guy who wrote you….
David,
Time to bone up on the Logical Fallacies. Here is a good review:

I vote bogus.
In the same catgegory as the convoy of tractor trailers carrying roughy the same amount of money across the border into Syria that was proven to be wrong with a little math. (An extended van could have done the trick – I’m looking for that link now – oh why bother)
Although…if the CIA could monitor the Iraqi Central bank, and a few American oil companies had indeed been buying oil on the black market and making direct deposits, who’s to say that with a little reverse engineering…
Nah. Forget it. It’s bogus.
