found in a colombian drug dealers house

Would you have been able to know when enough is enough? When to stop?

My first reaction was "wtf is this dude thinking, he should have stopped and gotten out with at least millions"

But I don't think it's that easy. Humans are ****ing greedy and I would have probably done the same and continued.

Here's the slide show.

FTR these pictures aren't from one house or one guy.

The stacks of money was seized from a house in Mexico City in the early part of 2007 by Mexican Police and DEA. You can see the press release/pics/video right here...

Nice. Thanks.

Throw in those small stacks, and we're talking maybe $40 million as my initial guess.

typically hundreds are bank banded into stacks of 100 ($10,000).

Can someone loan me 75 cents so I can get some animal crackers from the vending machine? I'm hungry.

Great book BTW

Another Roth-ism... 'money cant buy you happiness, but it will get you a really nice house right next door'.

It's a little over 207 million dollars in that pic, I believe. This story hit several months ago. Pretty amazing. I hadn't seen all of the other pics in the slideshow, but the one with all of the cash, I had.

Many years ago I was a cop in CA. My partner (a guy that was really too old for that $hit) and I were working this big drug case that involved these really nasty South African diplomats. There were using their diplomatic immunity to smuggle drugs into the U.S. And believe it or not, they started killing some of the cops in my department that were working on the case. They tried to drown me, but I escaped because of this shoulder condition. (Long story.) Sadly, they were able to kill my new girlfriend, which really pissed me off and led me to pull their house down a cliff with my pickup. But I digress. So as we were rounding up the ring leaders, we found a giant cargo container FILLED with drug money. Now let me tell you: THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. You can't even begin to imagine how much money was there. And the funny thing is that my partner and I dumped it all into the harbor, just like the Boston Tea Party, except it wasn't tea. Wow! You would have really been impressed, believe me.

You serious, Clark?

You should make a movie about that and have Mel Gibson act in it.

Also, you should call Danny Glover and ask him if he is busy.

What are the lil' kitties for?

Absolutely. BTW, you can call me by my CP name "Tom" or my real name: Martin (Riggs).

I couldn't have stopped until I got all the stacks even.
