“With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well,” President Barack Obama said at the White House on Jan. 17—without disclosing the $400 million cash payment.

My question is, what did the BANKS where this money was obtained, bet in return?

They just don’t give up $400M to anybody that asks....................

amongst all the foreign language (Urdu) I heard the word Baksheesh.

Baksheesh is palm greasing and the way of the world. Some one knew baksheesh was required and chose other currencies than US$ for the illegal payment

For what it’s worth. Attorney’s for victims families (who died in 1983 Beirut barracks bombing) called and told the family members they could begin receiving their settlement they had won in court against Iran for that attack.

One of the group told me it would be 14 million he alone would receive. Total on hold is a couple of billion.

I asked how they would get this money from Iran and he said they had found some money that had been tied up in a bank and put a hold on it.

I can’t help but think Obama would rush to clean out any monies before any settlements could begin. I bet more will be drained quickly before January.
