how would paper bands change the amount?

I actually don't care what people think.
I find it amusing though, that no one is willing to write down the convoluted myth and show how it aligns with known FBI memos and the travel times of the money.

It's because it's not possible to write the story. So people tell bits and pieces and claim they remember something someone pulled out of their ass back in the day and that means rubber bands flew out of a pigs mouth onto Cooper money.

Why does it matter if there was a company selling rubber bands to banks that Kaye talked to?
Kaye's no god...he's said crap before (propellor theory). Just because he owns a SEM doesn't make him an authority on anything.

I looked at that newly found video showing digging after the Ingram find, and apparently finding one mid-sized chard.
And Bruce's nice interview with the Agent about the number of supposed chards found.

That mid-sized chard was shown being put in a plastic bag with some smaller chards.

I was surprised how white the mid-sized chard looked, compared to the outer bills in the Ingrams....Why weren't those chards brown? or at least, browner?

Made me wonder if they were some pieces that came off the original Ingram pile, that the Ingrams didn't see or retrieve.

So I'm not sure what to make of the images in that newly found video. I was going to post some snippets, but watching the video is enough to see what I mean.

And by the 2nd day they weren't finding any shards?

I find this hard to believe Carr was confused or got things wrong?


As for the "shocking " information about the money, I spoke with the individual who carried the money from the bank to the airport the night of the hijacking. When I was talking with him he recounted that they were in the vault running the money through the counting machine and strapping the bundles. I didn't catch it at, first but later in our conversation I caught on to the strapping part and said, "wait a minute." "you were strapping the $20.00 bundles with $2,000 paper straps?" He said "yes" and I almost fell out of my chair.

So I then started putting calls into Brian Ingram. He called me back and we spoke about the discovery of the money. What I found was that the money was not recovered near the water but about 20 to 40 feet from the edge. He said he found it in an area that had recently been covered in water. So I thought, "well not really much of a difference." I then asked for the details about the condition of the money when he found it and he confirmed, after speaking with his parents, that the money absolutely had rubber bands around the bundles. This makes sense because there is no way paper straps would have kept the money together over the years.

So this all means, on face value, that if the money given to Cooper by the bank had paper straps and the found money had rubber bands....... well you could see how I was a bit perplexed. This would mean that either Cooper lived and repackaged the money or someone found the money and repackaged it. Which would be "par for the course" with regard to this case.

I then went back and re-interviewed the bank security manager and found out that he wasn't directly involved in packaging the money, only carrying it to the airport. He was relaying what their normal procedure was for processing and packaging money for shipment.

The funds that were given to Cooper were not pulled from their circulating cash but from a security fund that was prepackaged for these types of incidents. This money was not strapped because the bank did not want any subjects to know where it came from so it was packaged with rubber bands. My head was spinning for a few days until I could get it straight. 

Made me wonder if they were some pieces that came off the original Ingram pile, that the Ingrams didn't see or retrieve.

$5,800 found...that's short $200 if they were bundled in $2,000..odds are some of the pieces are from the bundles...

Ckret claims the money was not strapped

But all the fbi memos support the notion that the money was strapped in bundles of 100 bills, which is why the microfiche start/stop represents 100 bill units

There is no way that Ckret can say the money was not already strapped the day of the hijack, and resolve the microfiche memos.

And there was no repackaging of the money from strapped bundles to random rubber band bundles.

Ckret just made it up

that was a typo Shutter, I corrected it above
