Pssst...want an investment? Bowling Balls.

Hmm...

Palestine is begging money from the EU but Arafat's widow has a hundreds of millions...and the funniest part of the expose is this:

Meanwhile in New York City, the shiny black bowling balls of Bowlmor Lanes in Greenwich Village bare rumbling witness to the long, strong arm of Arafat. Flush with cash during the bloody Palestinian intifada of 2000–2004, Arafat's Kurdish finance chief, Mohammed Rashid, deputized Palestinian American Zeid Masri to pour $1.3 million of Palestinian Authority largesse into the bowling alley's parent company, Strike Holdings LLC. ...

Well, at least they didn't just sit them in Swiss bank accounts like the hundreds of millions stolen from Iraqi reconstruction funding, or the billions stolen by various African leaders, the biggest thief being the Nigerian president from that country's oil wealth...

At least Marco's stolen money was partly from finding Yamashita's gold, which was of course stolen from Philipinos by the Japanese who ran the country during World War II...

By the standards of Africa and the Middle East, Imelda's hundreds of millions is only a pittance. no wonder she is forced to sell shoes in jewelry for a living.
