This is a rare find ... money from Russia to the USA?
That much money could pay a days interest on the money we borrowed from China

Someone can't do math....
71 tons of platinum - 32,000 ounces per ton. Thats 2,272,000 ounces. The low price on an ounce of Platinum at its last trading was $1610.00 per ounce. If you use the lowest price there - your looking at a bit over 3.6 Billion. So... can I have the extra 600 Million there?
