  Yeah. It’s bullshit is what it is. So the day before the US reached Baghdad, Saddam’s son took almost $1bn out of the central bank in cash.

  When the battle was over, the US auditors found that in addition to this heist, the bank had been broken by looters. They decided to remove some of the money to a more secure location.
