#1 That's the problem with stealing so much that you don't know what to do with it all. The worst thing you can do is draw attention to yourself.

#2 Heck, here they just put the stuff in their 'reelection campaign' stash which they get to cash out after 'retiring' from Congress. Amazing how much of that you can attract when you can rig the system to reward or protect your contributors.

#6 ..42kg = 1,350 oz Troy (apx)

@$1,300/oz = $1,755,000 U.S. (apx)

Great headline and nothing to sneeze at, but not a huge stash considering a high-level govt. official..
