Loved the link on Pleasanton !!!
And the rest of the story
In 1814, during the War of 1812, important U.S. government archives—including George Washington’s correspondence—were preserved at the Rokeby estate (now known as Rokeby Farm near Leesburg, Virginia.
The documents were moved by State Department clerk Stephen Pleasonton as British forces approached Washington, D.C.. Key details of their preservation include:
• Ownership: The farm was owned at the time by William Binns, the son of Charles Binns Sr., who was the first clerk of the Loudoun County Court.
• Hiding Place: The papers, which also included the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, were reputedly locked in a secure, arched brick vault in the mansion's cellar.
• Custodian: While the house was empty at the time, the keys were entrusted to a local Methodist minister and former sheriff, John Littlejohn.
• Duration: The national treasures remained hidden at
the farm for several weeks until the British threat subsided and they could be safely returned to the capital.
*****
My Grandmother's first husband was Lawrence "Lorney" Binns, a direct descendant of these Virginia Binns
She married the ballplayer boy next door who had some magnificent pedigree.
Status of their family legend: True
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rokeby_(Le..._Virginia)
Had she stayed married to him and he had been my grandfather, it would have been a very easy cakewalk to Colonial Dames of Virginia. Lorney was a grandson of Thomas Jefferson Binns and Catherine Nesbitt. Thomas was a grandson of Charles Binns the builder of the farm. It was a longer, harder journey of history discovery but I would not have appreciated such an effortless inheritance so quickly back then.

Okay
@DataRepublican, and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport.
According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport.
That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep in mind, this is just what was flagged over the past 2 years.
Couple notes on that number:
That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years.
Further, we can assume that this is only the money that was flagged.
If the Somalis were just wandering through without declaring every cash bag, we could be talking 10x the amount.
The question then became:
WHY Minneapolis?
Well, after some quick discussing with regular travelers of the MN airports.
The Somalis run the airport.
They’re the ground crews.
They’re the airport staff.
They’re friggin TSA.
We have an airport in the United States of America run by pirates.
That’s kind of a problem.
More on where we think the money is going later…
