Re: Conman posing as Taliban scams U.S (none / 0)
"Disappeared with the money" raises all kinds of interesting questions.

What kind of money? Gold? Cash? Travellers' cheques? A bank transfer? Drugs? Weapons?

Presumably it wasn't one of those shiny suitcases full of notes you see in movies.

And even if it was - what was he going to spend it on, in Afghanistan? And how was he going to get it out of the country with being mugged?

It all seems rather implausible.
