Just in case you wanted to see 207 million dollars in cash. I guess he was some kind of drug dealer. I couldn't stop looking at the picture. (Washington Post, may require registration)

  • I misread the title; I thought it said "Just in case you wanted 207 million dollars in cash." The picture is lovely, but a little short of my expectations. I really wanted $207 million.
  • Want to lose weight? Simple. Stop eating anything that has sugar or corn syrup in it. It works
  • aww fug
  • 606, I agree. I didn't even click on page2... but wow.... that's a crapload of moolah. My parents sold a deli for 80,000 way back when. The guy paid 50% cash, 50% mortgaged. And I was boondoggled by seeing 40,000 in (20s by the way) cash. I felt like pulling a Scrooge McDuck and diving through the piles of loot. Of course, I was 11, and my parents would have shot me.
  • I have seen $100,000.00 in ones. Crumpled. The smell was horrible.
  • I've seen ten bucks and fifty cents in quarters - let me tell you: it is a sight to behold.
  • I have a gallon wine jar full of pennies.
  • Show off.
  • Quarters are God.
  • So that's where the money for Las Vegas comes from... I was wondering about that.
  • I've got £1.91 in change in my pocket. Right now.
  • Oh stop, stop! Talk of so much currency is making my head spin. *rubs old pre-redesign $10 and $20 bills on face and body, swoons*
  • 606, your assumption that this man was some kind of drug dealer is entirely unfounded. It's possible that he ran a strictly legitimate pharmaceuticals company. A company whose strictly legitimate accounting practices required him to store $207 million in his home in Mexico, hidden behind strictly legitimate false walls. And then he just happened to have to go on a strictly legitimate business trip to another country at exactly the moment police were looking for him in Mexico. Really, it's hard to imagine a more innocent set of circumstances.
  • I can't believe they carted him off before his cod and baby carrots were served. The Human Rights dudes are going to hear about this.
  • I want to have sex on that pile o' cash.
  • I'm sure if it were piled on my bed, I would orgasm without sex.
  • Can I have jacobw on my jury?
  • I'm pretty sure Abiezer's guilty.
  • Fortunately they haven't narrowed it down to a single charge yet.
