yeah but you guys do funny things with numbers

US Million 1,000,000
UK Million 1,000,000 ie 1000 million

US Billion 1,000,000,000
UK Billion 1,000,000,000,000 ie a million million :shock:

at some point we caved in and used your version. guess we had higher expectations

:?

Fair point but with that much I don't think I'd mind...having said that though with that much I'm sure there'd be a way around it...Swiss Bank vault? tax free haven? :wink: :D A few well placed bribes would probably do the trick no doubt...

There was another one circulating a few years back that had an even larger stack... and that just what we've seen that's been seized... or been seized and actually turned in ;)

btw, I heard somewhere that Bill Gates' net worth went down like $50 billion last year (though he is still on the top of the money list). Some recession eh :shock:
