PLAINSITE

So I'm just going to start posting some interesting facts about Bola Tinubu. The first interesting fact is that virtually every article discussing the seizure of funds from Mr. Tinubu's bank accounts has it wrong: the sum seized was not $460,000 USD. That's just the amount that was seized in one particular case that somehow managed to make it onto PACER (the federal courts' database system) despite being filed in the early 1990s. That case is here: https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/2jqi9omh8/illinois-northern-district-court/usa-v-acct-263226700-et-al/. The other two seizure warrant cases are not on PACER at all. At the moment we don't even know their case numbers. One is in the Northern District of Illinois and the other is in the Southern District of New York.

If you total all of the money in Mr. Tinubu's name seized by the U.S. Government around that time period, 1992-1993, the total comes to about $1.95 million, or $1.4 million + $550,000. Of that amount, Tinubu was allowed to keep $1.5 million, and $460,000 was destroyed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Let's get the basic math right to begin with, shall we? (I'm working on finding those other seizure warrant documents.)
