ISIS memory drives recovered reveal their net worth as of 2 weeks ago is $875,000,000

This is before their entering Mosul where they broke into banks. Money is mostly from oil fields they now control as well as looting priceless archeological artifacts.


Memory drives also show 1000 coded names of ISIS members who have penetrated the Iraqi govt.



This is according to the Guardian reporter who has been covering this who I have been listening to on CBC Radio's As It Happens.



This is not good.

I have yet to see anything to dissuade me from this opinion.

Some of them former U.S. bases.

(According to NBC reporter Ayman Mohyeldin in Iraq a little while ago.)
