The FBI is investigating the theft of $1.2 million in $100 bills from the cargo area of a flight out of Switzerland that landed at Kennedy Airport, NBC 4 New York has learned.

The Port Authority is also investigating the theft from the Swiss International Air Lines flight.


A law enforcement official says $48 million was being transported from Zurich on a flight that arrived Saturday. The cash was headed to a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey, and the missing $1.2 million was detected when the Fed was processing the cash. Authorities then found a hole in the cargo area where the $48 million was transported.


hmm, Jimmy Burke is dead... so it ain't him .

true... don't think there's anyone left

the Lufthansa heist was about $6 Mil
this had $48 million and they only took $1.2 ?? guess they didn't have enough time...

Have you ever seen that pile of 100 dollar bills worth a million dollars at the Golden Nugget? That's a lot of paper.

a million is about 22 lbs, a carryon suitcase should hold it easily.

Doug, I'm not even going to question your post. When it comes to money I've learned to trust your info.

It would have to be a pretty big suitcase though. It looked pretty big.

I originally said Golden Nugget. It's at Binion's.

Here is information about a currency bill, According to the Bureau of Engraving:* Our present sized currency measures 2.61 inches wide by 6.14 incheslong, and the thickness is .0043 inches.* The approximate weight of a currency note, regardless ofdenomination is (1) one gram.$1,000,000 is 10,000 $100 bills, which weighs 10 kg or about 22pounds. If stacked in one stack, the height would be 43 inches high orabout three and one half feet. Easy to carry in a briefcase</pre></pre>
