Just imagine if I have one small stack of that, just imagine. The authorities made two extraordinary seizures and found $200million of cash pile in a house.

On March 15, Mexican authorities raided a villa in one of Mexico City’s poshest neighborhoods and found what they say is the largest drug cash seizure on record– anywhere – $205 million in cash, most of it in $100 bills. Total weight of all that cash: at least 4,500 pounds. “This is like law enforcement hitting the ultimate jackpot,” said DEA top cop Karen Tandy. Also seized were 200,000 euros, 158,000 pesos, eight luxury vehicles, and a small arsenal. Officials say the money is tied to Chinese and Indian suppliers of raw materials for methamphetamine, which is brewed in Mexican superlabs and then exported to the United States.
