I want to go wallow in it. UPDATE
Update: I was just sent an Email saying that this was the largest cash bust ever and the money was discovered in a house in Mexico City.
Now I KNOW that the money was pilfered.
An acquaintance who is involved in such things sent me this Email of an El Paso cash stash house bust.
Many millions in 100 dollar bills.
I don't think I could be a cop. 
At least criminals are tidy and organized
Ben Frankin was a handsome gent
People with this sort of cash could afford better guns

OMG! I think I will faint now!

I couldn't be a cop either...I would be more like Vic from The Shield...so not kosher! I would have shoved a few wads in places...who would know it was missing? The bad guys wouldn't cuz they ain't never gonna be able to fuck on that pile again!
Holy crap...
No law enforcement for me, either. Piles of money can ruin good intentions.
Yes I agree. Yikes I would love to have that kind of money. Esp right now. Things are looking up for us though. I cant complain to much. Catch you later. Tweets
Tempting? Of course.
Acting on the temptation? No.
I can't believe that there's Canadian money there as well!!! Criminals know no borders, that's for certain.
Mind you, it would be fun to roll around in it just once...so long as there was an automatic counter for when I was finished. Maybe that's why the "perps" look so cheerful, because they had to count and stack the money.
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
Holy crap.
Now that that's out of the way: I agree, I could never be a cop. I'd have pocketed a few stacks and some of the nicer-looking guns (I don't know too much about them, except the four rules and making sure they're cared for instead of left to rust.)

And you don't think that a packet or two of those Franklins out of the thousands that must be there didn't "fall off the truck"? You think the perps are going to say, "Hey! Wait a minute! There should be 7,495 packets, not 7,490!"
I'm too cynical. And I couldn't be a cop, either. I hate getting shot at, for one thing.
I only have one thing to say to the dumb ass criminals.
hahahahahhaa hehehehehehehe hohohohoohohohoho uh uh uh uh
whoa!
With all that money... why not buy a big ol' safe to put it in, or some kind of locker...
stupid is as stupid does.
Hey, where DID the money go to in the end, anyway?
The one with a suppressor looks like a Makarov. That makes me jealous.
Bottom right appears to be an H&K, they are supposed to be good guns.
What's the deal with the two pistols that have a spare mag taped to the grips? I don't get that. They'd have to remove or cut the tape to get to the spare mag. And then there would be sticky stuff left on the mag that would interfere with seating and removing. That's just stupid.
Make that bottom left, not bottom right.
I couldn't be a cop -- I would have been VERY tempted to take a few of those piles....
It kind of looks like a bed... Oh to roll around on all that money!
Somebody will die.
Flyinfox: that was my first reaction too!
Jenny: that's about the way it is.
T1G: I bet it happens all the time.
Tweety: Piles of money like that make me think of what I could do with it.
deborah: Yeah I've been tempted by things before but can keep my head screwed on straight. I bet some can't resist though.
ISU: I'd like the guns too. That supressed submachinegun looks like fun.
Jami: I wonder if the pile was twice as big before the picture was taken ;)
Burfica: Oh yeah, those criminals are in way over their head.
alan the taped mags is weird, maybe the cops did it to keep everything together. I was also wondering about the white lettering on the guns. Never seen that..
Infini: I think the arresting agency gets to keep the captured cash and it goes into their general fund.
Annie: I wonder what percentage of cops would pocket a few if given a chance?
anndi: I'd sleep well that's for sure :)
paulf: those people will not be safe in prison or anywhere else unless they they turn witness and dissapear
daaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnn
I'll bet every cop on the job had a couple small bundles in his pocket. I'm honest but shit - I'd take my hazard pay where I could get it.
is it wrong that i just LICKED my computer screen... the money images are just too delicious
This reminds me of a funny story. My best-friend and I went to Wal-Mart on a Sunday evening. We both got what we needed and chatted in line at the register. As my friend Carol handed the cashier her $20, I said, "I wouldn't take that if I were you." And I winked at the cashier.
Carol told the cashier, "Oh my God I can't believe her. She's supposed to be my friend. My money is perfectly good."
Then I nudged Carol, winked and said, "Yep. It's fine. We just made it in my garage this week!"
Needless to say the cashier used a marker on it and gave us a suspicious eye.
I think I'm an honest person, but confronted with that kind of cash...I don't know.
I think cops should be able to split 10% of drug hauls...as much danger as they face in that job, why not?
cash needs special attention. It can collect moisture and grow mold. I would be willing to maintain the cash and keep the mold from taking hold.
Is it any wonder cops can go bad? That, my friend, is a WHOLE LOTTA temptation.
Money laundering is a very risky business and not very profitable for those at the bottom of the hierarchy.
I bet these poor guys will pay the ultimate penalty for losing this load that belongs to their clients.
I guess money laundering isn't a career option for me.
snowmanpoop: Exactly!
jeannie: I wouldn't doubt it!
meleah: lol!
marianne: hehe don't mess with walmart cahiers...they'll go even slower ;)
mushy: If we privatized the cops maybe :)
JP: You're hired!
jam: that maxxes out the red line on the temptation meter
lexcen: I have no doubt that they will be killed. The lower eschelon people always get screwed.
Whoa! and they look like such nice people!
Peace
I can't believe that the federales didn't steal at least half of the money for themselves. I also can't believe that the criminals didn't go down fighting, there's no way I'd want to survive to be arrested & have to explain myself to the boss.
Bet the two uniforms filled their pockets as soon a s the press was gone. The trouble with Mexico is there is no line between the bad guys and the "good guys".
Holy Jesus. I agree with the other comment about being Vic from THE SHIELD--a cool few thousand in the pocket wouldn't be missed.
Hey, glad to have you back, btw!
"I want to wallow in it."
It is sad that you would think that way.
Money is just an energy that is supposed to flow around doing good things for all.
Never mind, I'm sure anything I could say would be over your head. I'm okay with less than a grand a month and I live very well, so maybe that is all that counts.
Now get your ass back to work for the man, it will end soon enough.
I think the bottom left guy is Sumdood!!!!
I keep hearing that Pink Floyd song in my head--No not "Money"----
"Wish you were here"! ___ OMG look at that cash would ya.
Dang!

Here's the deal BBC:
You are clearly mentally ill.
Delusions of grandure? Check.
Maladjusted social skills? Double check.
Inability to perceive the way that others see you? Obviously.
You are so isolated from society that you have resorted to baiting other well-adjusted individuals into giving you negative attention, because you see that even negative attention is better than no attention at all.
You need therapy, oh yes, but not as much therapy as your daughter needs after having had you as a father, one who wanted to have her "fixed" so that she would not reproduce, and then curses her when she does.
How DARE you blast Hammer on his fathering skills? You are an undereducated, pompus, ugly person. Nobody reads your blog because you have nothing worthwhile to say, and further, you are continuously insulting those who are (or once were) kind to you.
Hammer may not tell you directly to fuck off, but if he is deleting your comments, doesn't that tell you that he is no longer interested in interacting with you?
Much like everyone else in your life.
And I do not believe for one millisecond that your therapist wanted to sleep with you as you claim she did.
It's called "confabulation" look it up... that's the term for when your brain is so addled with booze that you lose memory cells. As an attempt to fill in the blanks, the brain then inserts what you WISH had happened during the time that you cannot remember. (Not a blackout, it is a sign of a full blown alcoholic) which is what I suspect you are, and if this is not the case, well then, I will lable you a common psycho-nutbag.
Now run along and start a new blog somewhere else so you can form a whole new group of friends, send them penis pictures unsolicited, and slowly offend them one by one until everyone despises you as much as I do.
Go sell crazy somewhere else, we are all full up here.
OMG, go go go lovelyand, give it to him. ROFLMAO.
odat: I'm sure that lifestyle brings out the best in people ;)
brandon: that's probably only half of it right there.
phosgene: you are exactly correct. The mexican govt is anoter form of organized crime.
jocelyn: Knowing me, I probably wouldn't touch it, I'm so frigging paranoid and prone to nightmares everytime I do something "bad" it takes a special kind of person who can take and not worry about it.
BBC: I would probably dump it out of a cargo plane over a big city and watch everyone fight over it.
John: The song "money" would be perfect right about now!
lovelyand: after an ass chewing like that I doubt there is enough of it left to keep his balls off the sheets.
lex: she's pretty good at that huh?
wooooooohooooo lovelyand ...I am soooooo happy to see you blast the crap outta BBC. My only wonder is will he actually take time to read it? I somehow doubt it but I still enjoyed reading it.TYVM.
Oh, BBC's not so bad. Then again, I'm a sarcastic asshole and nobody reads my blog either. But, that's because I'm boring and I talk about positive stuff mostly. Not!
I remember a few months back when Hammer would comment on his blog almost every other day.
NOTE TO SELF!
NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE- PISS OFF- LOVELYLAND!!!
You go young lady!!!
Amen & Amen
John
You know what is funny? That some people think that I’m mentally ill and a drunk when they don’t even know me personally. Hell a lot of people thought that Einstein was mentally ill, but these people aren’t aware enough to tackle the things I do.
Lovelyand doesn't know what in the hell she is talking about. And what is with someone that won't show their profile on Blogger? What a pussy.
Just saying. I don't care what anyone says about me, but I want to thank you all for the attention. Hugs.
Thanks for the compliment, but you have never even seen my pussy!
Alot of people thought Einstein was retarded, not mentally ill.
Alot of people think you are mentally ill.
You have a 7th grade education, Einstien dropped out in the 4th grade, but.... you are not Einstien. HE contributed something to society.
What exactly are the kinds of things that the people that thought Einstein was retarded are not aware enought to tackle, that you yourself are currently tackling?
Blogstalking women and calling them names?
Offending the people who befriend you?
Alienating your family?
Oh, wait, calling yourself God, and other people monkeys?
Yeah, you are tackling some really heavy concepts there, and oh no, you are not delusional with illusions of grandure... nuh-uh
I am not even going to touch on the fact that you insult people without provocation or warrant, and then add that fucking emoticon, or the suffix of "hugs"... :)
The fact that you just thanked everyone for their attention says it all. You piss on people at random and on purpose for the explicit purpose of having someone pay you attention. Yes, I do believe that you care what people think of you. You love the attention even if it is negative.
I feel sorry for you.
I really feel sorry for you if you are not an alcoholic, because that means there is something really wrong with your brain.
The good news is, that you will be dead soon enough.
Hugs :)
We've got one of these photos in our family...
Stop laughing - let me explain...
When I was in HS, my Dad was an undercover narc. When he worked on the AZ/MX border, they were constantly following people to houses and/or meeting for deals...and him and his partner stumbled upon something similar to this one night. The next day, when the armored truck brought the money to the bank that the agency used, him and his partner (I used to affectionately call them "Rocket and Flubbs") got to pose with the find and damn if I don't look at that photo (which is framed on my parents' living room wall today!) nowadays and think that it would be nice to just jump on a stack of cash like that and roll around naked in it.....
I'm REALLY a "simple" person.... :p
HOLY FRIGGIN'SHIT!!! That's a LOT of washed and ironed Benjamins. I'm with Mushy on this one. I'd like to think I'm honest, but DAMN! And yer idea of dumping it out; cool as hell, so long as I get to fill a pocket or two... And maybe a suitcase.
