In an economic step, the first of its kind in Iraq in years, the US Federal Bank stops money transfers to 14 Iraqi banks, and opens an investigation into the files of these banks, in preparation for their inclusion in the black list.

These banks. 
He added, “The Federal Reserve has opened an investigation into the records of these banks, and this will result in greater and broader penalties, including the inclusion of these banks on the black list, and work with them will end.”
The blacklisting penalty stipulates that all financial transactions between the US financial system and the listed bank will be suspended and punished.

US 1=3,500 IQD? What is this rate supposed to mean? Did we miss something we didn't know? Since when did the dinar devalue the rate to 3,500 IQD? does anyone ever notice this rate=3,500 dinar? I am confused here. Anyone can explain this to us.

Rates have not changed. Speculators are manipulating currency for benefit. 3500 is the spread the speculators are benefiting from. 
 

The CBI, new Iraq President and Federal Reserve are all cracking down on and rooting out corruption. This is a good sign.

3,500 is a like a street rate. So the purpose behind the speculators are manipulating currency is making dinar holders to sell off their mattress dinar inside the country of iraq and out of iraqi country as much as possible and buy more dollars instead. Therefore, the CBI can suck all the mattress dinars in and this is a good sign.

anyone thoughts what this means to us

 

My thoughts on this.

#1 - if it stops the flow of the $USD via the corrupt currency auctions to the bad actors in the area i.e. Iran,

then it will help for obvious reasons.

#2 - In addition, If the $USD is no longer the preferred local currency and the IQD becomes the preferred national currency, and then it will help by creating demand for the IQD thus increasing the value.

 

Personally, I am skeptical of "An Informed Source", hopefully additional news/items on this topic will verify this US action.

 

Just sayin' .........
