That's A Lot of Money In Her Underwear

The FBI was investigating allegations of real estate developers in Prince Georges County, Maryland, offering rewards to county officials in exchange for personal and business favors. When agents went to visit the home of County Executive Jack Johnson, his wife, Leslie, who was also recently elected to the County Council, called her husband. Unknown to them, the FBI had a wiretapping warrant and recorded their conversation. They discussed destroying and flushing a $100,000 check from a real estate developer and removing cash from the home by stuffing it in her underwear. When the federal agents entered the home, they found $79,600 hidden on her person. Even if that was all in $100 bills, that seems to this blind Bambi like a lot of cash to stuff in your underwear. This hill-billy has probably never even had almost 800 one dollar bills at any given time, but it seems like, say, 796 one hundred dollar bills would amount to a substantial stack of cash to hide in your bra. The couple is now charged with evidence tampering.
