Saddam's money in Germany?
2004-06-22
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is being questioned about claims he has billions of US dollars deposited in Japanese and German bank accounts, the Arab newspaper Al-Hyat reported Monday, citing anonymous "high-ranking" officials.
What, no Swiss account?
Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi estimated the funds to be worth USD 40 billion, the report said. Al-Hyat said it had a document in which the Iraqi interim government called on the US government to discuss how the funds could be accessed.

#4  Promise Saddam anything, then reneg like hell after the bucks are tracked down.

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. It would also be permissible to laugh and point afterwards.

#1  Sounds like Saddam is getting a little squirrely over his approaching handover to the Iraqi government.

"Wait guys! Did I tell you about all the loot I stashed overseas? It'll take me another couple of weeks to remember all the account numbers ..."
