It appears the corruption in money laundering is getting bigger. I'm wondering how many of these 1794 currency exchanges Iran, Lebanon an Syria own. You gotta figure if their still doing nearly 200 million at the auctions these currency exchanges are making some really good money, got to get the money out of Iraq somehow.

I'm surprised that 1794 is all they have, looking for that number to increase unless they can harness the corruption.
