It just doesn't stop. Today, yet another witness testified about yet more cash. This time it was $100,000, not in an envelope, not in a bag, not in a sack, and definitely not in anyone's underwear — but this time in a "small, medium-sized suitcase."

This new witness was businessman Jack Sabanosh, a former employee of Phoenix International, the company owned by cooperating government witness and self-described former agent of Saddam Hussein, Samir Vincent. Sabanosh has not been accused of anything. He was called by the prosecution to testify about various episodes he had witnessed while working from 1996-1998 for Vincent at the McLean, Virginia office of Phoenix. Among other things, Sabanosh described how he and Vincent decided in January, 1997 to invest in an internet-based trading company. Sabanosh said that he found the company, and Vincent came up with the money — $100,000 packed in a suitcase.

Prosecutor Michael Farbiarz: "What if anything did Mr. Vincent tell you about how and when he got that cash?"

Sabanosh: "Nothing."
