Meyer, one can agree on several of these issue's. nothing can be a fact until all 4 corners are checked..
can anyone other than Flyjack respond to the document posted originally by Fly but is in this post..can this document be easily explained? it appears to be a valid point of discussion...
It strikes me that the person from SeaFirst is stating that the money was banded with non-identifying generic bands. Furthermore, that the banding with generic bands could have been done at SeaFirst, the Fed, or another bank utilizing bands from those institutions, albeit generic.
Nonetheless, who knows who this person is? Who knows if they actually saw the money? Who knows if the bands he's referring to are paper or rubber?
Too many questions left unanswered to be of much value.
The takeaway from that FBI doc is the term "packets in $2000" from SeaFirst Bank and the Bank banding terminology consistent with Tina's claim.. "Miss MUCKLOW said she observed was money packed in small packages with bank-type bands around each package"
Ckret believed that those bank banded packets which he thought were called bundles were later randomized and rebanded.
This is impossible if the 3 packets on TBAR were not randomized, they were not. Ckret was wrong, the bundles were randomized and rebanded not the individual packets. It is all that simple.
.
To me it means very little.
Who says the packets were randomized? How do we know this is accurate? The rationale given was to make it appear hastily assembled...Well, I must say, that's about the stupidest thing I've ever read. I mean, let's play this out...let's see, Cooper gets the money and it looks "too" organized so he what? He rejects it. Thinks there is a set up at play. Thinks the money is fake. Thinks Nostradamus notified them via a quatrain years ago so they were expecting this and are totally prepared. What exactly does randomizing the ransom accomplish?
My point is, I know enough about this case to question everything. In other words, I'm not convinced anything was randomized.
Alas, it matters little. Whether it's one packet, or three packets--which is apparently how the money was actually found--the money was buried in the sand. I have stated I think it was an accident upon Cooper reclaiming the buried ransom bag. Others state it was the result of being washed up on the beach and getting naturally buried for a period whether it one day or eight years. Yet others state dredging played a part.
All seem improbable and require a leap of logic, but something does explain it. And to quote, once again, Arthur Conan Doyle, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
