"I personally once brought $20 million from Iran to the Gaza Strip in a suitcase. No, actually twice -- the second time it was $22 million." "

What are we all suckers tonight?
One million dollars, in hundred dollar bills weigh 22 pounds. So, 20 million dollars weighs 440 pounds.

It is a fair point and well caught. There are higher denomination bills in existence, but so old and rare by now they would not make up the sum. You could bring a check drawn on the right swiss account easily etc, but the original statement, I agree, is a lie.

If it's in $500's it only weighs 88 pounds. 44 lbs if its in thousands.
