Thread: $2,700,000 cash in van. Do you think...

these folks could be illegal alien drug runners or just average Americans driving around with $2,700,000 in cash in their car?


TUSCOLA, Ill. — Illinois State Police seized $2.7 million that a drug-sniffing dog found in a van on a rural Illinois interstate.

Sgt. William Emery says the two men inside the van were not arrested or charged with a crime. The driver received a warning for speeding after being stopped last week on Interstate 57 in Tuscola in east-central Illinois.

Emery didn't identify the men, but said they were from Dallas.
He says the trooper used the drug-sniffing dog becase the two men acted nervous. The money was sealed in plastic bags that were tucked into boxes in the cargo area.

The men will get back the money if an investigation clears them of any wrongdoing.

Place your bets.

Are they illegal? When did they pay taxes on this kind of money?

Probably just want to donate to ACORN or Osama's birth certificate defense fund.

Doesn't everyone carry that kind of cash for incidental expenses?

I think American Citizens should have a chance to this money. Non taxed 10K lottery - for Citizens Only With Proof 21 years or older.

Probably just a couple of thrifty, hard working illegals doing the work Americans won't do....

not arrested, not charged with a crime? The police didn't look very hard to find criminal activity. 2.7mil in cash=criminal activity, there's no other possibility.

moved until further news comes out

Not yet, but once hyper inflation hits, that will be chump change.
