Muslim Brotherhood billions[]
The Muslim Brotherhood is said to have billions of dollars contained in money laundering and tax avoidance structures dating back to when this money was used to finance the Algerian war against the French. Template:Cn
Douglas Farah, in Blood from Stones, writes that al-Qaeda had enough money in the late 1990s to buy the entire output of the West African blood diamond industry as part of a money laundering plan.
On the other hand, captured notes show that al-Qaeda's common soldiers are starved for cash and under strict expense reporting requirements. Template:Cn

Kryder estate[]
Leigh M. Fulghum claims to be a legal heir to the "New Deal fortune" of Indiana real estate developers Clarence Frank and Frank H. Kryder, which she alleges was concealed upon their deaths in 1950-1966. The family's assets continued to be deposited in Old National Bank 71-19 by their attorneys more than 50 years after the bank was liquidated. Principals are linked to the Lincoln National Bank and Trust of Fort Wayne (Wells Fargo) and National City Bank, with extensions into Norfolk Southern Corporation, the Carlyle Group and Raytheon.

Pentagon bad accounting[]
On September 10, 2001, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced that the military was unable to properly account for up to $2.3 trillion in expenditures, "according to some estimates". CBS news quoted whistleblower Jim Minnery complaining that supervisors had no interest in tracking the money. [1] The shockingly large figure, equivalent to seven years of U.S. military spending, [2] and the coincidental date of the announcement have led to claims that such a large amount of money was stolen from the Pentagon.
Speculation briefly increased when Pentagon comptroller Dov Zakheim resigned in 2004, with most of this speculation being along the lines of Stephen M. St. John describing "Rabbi Dov Zakheim" as the "Talmudic Mastermind of 9/11."
