    It kind of feels like the impact of this is being oversold for the sake of some admittedly compelling footage. I don't know why, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this cash ended up not being tied to ISIS at all.

    That was my first thought as well, but if it's true, then it's pretty cool.

    This will never work against YallQaeada, since they distribute their cash throughout many piggy banks, as well as their moms' purses.

    Probably real, but oversold, much like the rebellion in the streets of IRAQ when the statue was pulled down. Never what it appears to be with the military. They let us see what they want us to see. Unfortunately they are no better than the politicians when it comes to image.

    IS have racked up several billions this far, I think this won't really hurt them.
