If you count the *other* briefcases...

...it gets up to a more respectable sum.

For any of you following the Antonini testimony in the Venezuela / Argentina / suitcase-full-of-money case being tried in Miami right now, it seems the stakes just got a little bigger.

You see, one of the mysteries of the case so far was "Why was the Chavez regime so upset about a fairly trivial effort to buy influence going wrong?" as the one 'briefcase' had only US$800,000. If in fact the total sum being delivered was US$5,000,000...

If this gets proven, Chavez and his fellow travellers are one step closer to the fate of M. Noriega.
