The video seems to show cash? The thumbnail/picture at the end shows gold.

Yeah. It’s bullshit is what it is. So the day before the US reached Baghdad, Saddam’s son took almost $1bn out of the central bank in cash.

When the battle was over, the US auditors found that in addition to this heist, the bank had been broken by looters. They decided to remove some of the money to a more secure location before it all had a chance to vanish.

Epstein files contained emails from Epstein on how to steal away the "seized" funds from Libya through corrupt "reconstruction" schemes before Gadaffi was even overthrown.

Looks like it only works when it is embedded, not when you go to imgur itself
