'Greedy' Man Caught Crossing Chinese Border With $580K in His Pants

[Betallsports]

A man was arrested as he attempted to smuggle $580,000 in U.S. banknotes into China on Wednesday.


The man had the cash — much of it in $100 bills — strapped around his legs and in a bag when he was detained crossing from Hong Kong to the mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen.





The man, reported only by the surname Chen, told interrogators he was going to use the money to buy a house. When asked why he had not used a bank to transfer the sum, which would have incurred a fee, he said: "I was quite greedy, people are always greedy."


Travelers entering China are generally allowed to carry a maximum of $10,000 in foreign currency.

doesn't seem possible all that money on the table could actually fit under his pants.

Take look at the cop's expression standing behind him. $10 says he thought about killing everyone in the room, taking the cash and making a run for it.

so what happens to him now? they confiscate the money?

It's China. He'll probably be executed.

Thought about how he could do it, and said the same thing.
but maybe , looking at the money and seeing they are new bills. Stack of $10k is much thinner.
still , that's 58 stacks in total.

that first picture above is about 16 stacks.. So maybe
