The Taliban may have seized control of Afghanistan — but for now, the group can't access the nearly $10 billion in reserves in the country's central bank, most of which is reportedly held by the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.
Last week, Taliban members attempted to inspect Afghanistan's billions of dollars in foreign reserves, only to be told by officials at the country's central bank, Da Afghanistan Bank, that they could not access it because it was being stored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan, the Financial Times reported.
Regardless, most of the central bank's roughly $9.5 billion in assets were frozen by the US last week ...

Hello Sir,
My name is Fazel Ghafar and I seek your assistance in recovering $12 million (US) belonging to the International Afghan Children’s Fund....
Way to go, BI. Now you’ve given Xiden and his handlers the idea of where to send more pallets of money.
No worries they dump so of that military hardware the US left them on the black market they’ll make that easy
Odd to freeze their assets when we still have people trapped there.
Not to worry: John McClain will keep watch over the New York Federal Reserve.
Never gonna happen. Hillary has that gear already sold. She's just gotta send Sid Blumenthal over there to run distribution and receivables.
I bet 40 years from now, some idiot President like Obama or Xiden will release that money to the Taliban and say it was their money. Like they did with Iranian assets 7 years ago.
The Taliban own all of Afghanistan as they always have and always will.
Their holdings in New York, will be tied to how much natural resource extraction the Taliban “allows out.”
Its hard to get labor to work in an area where some raghead want to use you as target practice.
The leverage works “both ways.”
forget 40 years from now - it cost a lot of money to airlift and feed and house refugees - spend it.
Did each of those refugees pay the $2,000 rescue fee or did that only apply to American citizens?
Start spreadin’ the news!
How much good faith money do you want, first? 😀
This is what the Taliban will ask be returned in exchange for the huge number of Westerners who will not make it out.
What will happen when they begin parading before the cameras the thousands of hostages Biden has given them?
“What will happen when they begin parading before the cameras the thousands of hostages Biden has given them?”
That will be bad optics for the Biden administration.
Remember the “adults are in charge.”
Actually the women, fag/dyke, & people of color party(the Democrats) will start splintering off over the next 3 years.
Their party is unsustainable.
It’s alright, it was only $10 billion. We gave them $100’s of billions in property, weapons and intelligence.
This looks SO BAD for the US, I’m certain that Obummer and ValJar orchestrated this from 2446 Belmont Rd.
Biden will make sure to release the funds in a show of good will
