The greatest robbery
by Volker Weber
News is out that three guys robbed 282 million US-dollar from a bank in Baghdad. That amount of money could pay for the Iraq war almost from sunrise to sunset on any given summer day.
Update: As Hanno has commented, it may only have been 388 thousand dollars. That is only good for about 90 seconds.

I wonder what's the average amount of cash stored in bank located in a highly volatile crisis region.
