I guess some of the 400 million will go to cover the salaries of the executioners + disposal.
Kerry and Obama are well aware that the mullahs run an oppressive, violent regime that depends on well paid goon squads and thugs to suppress, terrify and keep the population docile. Those goons and thugs are paid very well in non US dollar foreign hard currencies. Kerry and Obama fully understood why the mullahs wanted the ransom paid in cash in Euros and Swiss Francs. Michelle may have come to be “proud of her country” but decent ,rational people loathe the vile Obama and the narcissistic fool Kerry.
