I read a book by a CIA officer. A big part the job is carrying around tons of cash for shady people. It’s understood that if you take the cash for yourself, you go to prison.

The ironic thing is the money usually goes missing. It gets given to some VIPs brother, who is supposed to give it to VIP, but doesn’t.

The important thing is it not go missing while you are watching it. It can go missing later - just not on your watch.

interested in knowing what book, if it was good.
It was an anecdote from “First In.” It is about the CIA officers who arrived first in Afghanistan: with gigantic bags of cash.
The guy this post is about is likely in the same situation, trafficking valuables and money as part of his job, officially or not. Who gave him orders?
