SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — During a joint investigation between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico, CBP officers seized Saturday undeclared currency totaling $27 million found inside boxes bound to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
“Legal currency can be transported if properly declared under US law. Transnational Criminal Organizations seek to conceal proceeds and move it as part of their criminal activities,” indicated Gregory Alvarez, Director of Field Operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. “We remain committed to working with other federal and local law enforcement partners to detect and deter smuggling attempts throughout the Caribbean.”
During outbound inspections for cargo on board the vessel MV Norma H II Voyage 818, a CBP K-9 alerted on some un-manifested pallets containing home moving boxes destined for St. Thomas.
CBP officers opened one of the boxes and discovered US currency wrapped in vacuum-sealed packages. Further inspection of the pallets revealed a total of (34) cargo boxes containing the rest of the undeclared currency.

Those are my missed placed moving boxes, how do I get them back now that they’ve seem to have found themselves in Puerto Rico on their way to St. Thomas?
Biden kinda “Big Fu#$’ing Deal”
Put the money to use building the Wall!
It’s mine! Mine, I tell ya’!
Is that declarative enough?
They could have had fun and stacked it into a sectional sofa then taken selfies.
Hell, make the wall OUT OF THE MONEY!
If the national debt was turned into a cube,constructed of $1.00 bills, it would sit at 1023 feet and 9 inches on each side.
A fifth of a mile.
That dog will hunt. Give him a treat.
Good job, CBP!
Somehow I think publicizing the seizure was a bad idea.
Much smarter to watch and see who disappears on both ends of the shipment when it does not arrive.
The criminals will purge their own ranks of the lower end guys and hopefully the law can get the higher up with the clues generated.
Ouch ! The boss is not going to be happy about this and someone is going to get whacked.
Hmm. Cash on a pallet. Was it on its way to Tehran?
This must be a mistake, looks like more Obama money bound for Iran.
That’s only $27 million. Just imagine how big the stack Obama gave the mullahs must have been.
Hello doggie.
Bet doggie has a nice set of teeth and knows how to use them.
Chomp!!!
About 7x bigger stack - $1.8 billion in cash to Tehran.
