A substantial amount of cash has been drained from some
accounts of those missing on Malaysian Air Flight MH370. The cash, involving four accounts at the same
bank, was taken using ATM’s and transfers.
Funds were transferred from three accounts to the fourth and then moved
to someplace else, not yet known.
COMMENTS:
Although two bank employees are under investigation, a
Pakistani national is also under investigation.
It seems to me that you need an ATM card to perform transactions at an
ATM; could this mean the plane is, as I have suspected, on the ground in
Pakistan? How else would they get the
cards? I don't think Bush did it.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How would you handle the situation in Ferguson? (Lou ~ Phoenix, AZ)
A. Start by sealing off the town and chasing out the
out-of-towners; no one gets in unless they live or work there; that includes
the press and media. Put a 24-hour
curfew on the town for 48 hours; no one on the streets unless they are going to
or coming from work or school. Then sit
the leaders of the various parties in these issues down and have a
dialogue.
Q. The other day, law enforcement officials frisked golfers
at the Vineyard Golf Club so Obama could play through. What do you think? (Wally ~ Hartford, CT)
A. When it comes to the security of the President, I give
wide berth to the Secret Service and other lawmen charged with his
protection; I don’t have a problem with
that. I do have a problem with his
playing through golfers in front of him unless they are slow players or in
trouble with errant shots, in which case anybody
should be waived through. Other than
that, other golfers paid for their rounds and, unless forewarned, are entitled
to enjoy them without some nincompoop choosing to play through on the taxpayer’s
dime.
Q. I hear Al Gore got short-changed on his deal to sell
Current TV to Al Jazeera? (Myron ~
Boise, ID)
A. That’s what he is alleging in a new lawsuit filed against
the buyers. I suspect no one is watching
the network and advertising revenues are lower than forecast. Or, I suppose the lack of payment could be
caused by global warming.
