Gimein is puzzled by the lack of attention that the news media is paying
to the story
of a man who was stopped at a Swiss border crossing in possession of a $500
million check. I can think of three reasons:
- He was driving into Switzerland, not out of Switzerland.
- The check was for $500 million, rather than a combination of checks and
credit notes worth $8 billion.
- He never
starred in Miami Vice
