"US snubs out legal cigar transaction" ?

"Torben Nødskouv intended to resell the cigars through his small business Cigarhuset and made the transaction in dollars with a Hamburg-based distributor.

But the transaction, which was automatically routed through the US, was picked up by American authorities who froze the money, arguing that the transaction violated the American trade embargo with Cuba.

Nødskouv appealed after the $20,000 transaction was frozen last autumn, but the money may be permanently lost after he was recently informed that it would not be returned to him."

Sounds funny, but if i were Mr. Nødskouv i would really think hard about doing anything in Dollars anymore ..

..but wait, if Denmark refuses to pay with dollars anymore and disregards the lead currency, we will see an invasion against the danish insurgents soon ... after Iran maybe.

[...]
ah, will post that in another thread ..
