OK, first, I am not trolling - and I didn't state that this was my belief per-se...

I do find all the Benghazi BS to be super weird - but thats just me without all the facts...

However, it is a documentable fact that Gaddafi may have been the richest documentable person (clearly we are ignoring the Rothschilds etc...) in the world...

He had vast assets and liquid cash all over the place. This is known - so do not accuse me of trolling on facts...

Further, it is known that HRC is a corrupt person (proven via her emails and many many other resources -- if you are unaware of this, then you're simply unaware and I am not trolling)

I said that it is RUMORED to have been financial motivation to go after Gaddafi... did you ever see the list of countries that Clark said the .gov was going to go after? Libya was on that list...

now, I shall admit my ignorance - as I am not entirely familiar with the libyan civil war, but I know my CIA history a fair bit... arab spring was an op. to foment a varied amount of things... civil wars here, uprisings there, extremests wherever... and change all over.

I never said Gaddafi was some benevolent anything -- I said he was sought for his money and executed CIA fashion.

so.. let me ask you: What happened to all the 70+++ billion dollars Gaddafi had? He was killed - what happened to his wealth?

I know that you have no fucking clue. So... what is your speculation?

Where did his funds go?

I'd imagine a lot of his liquid assets were seized by militants. From some googling, it seems some portion of his wealth was in a bunch of real estate he owned. I imagine those have also been seized, those that weren't destroyed. But the most part his wealth was invested in several western countries. Per http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/21/world/la-fg-kadafi-m... that money has been seized by the governments in question. But before you go "see, HRC took the money!" those assets were seized over a year before the war in Libya, so it's unrelated. That which hasn't been seized has probably been taken by his various money managers.

People that are very good at hiding money for the ludicrously and criminally rich are also, not surprisingly, very good at making money disappear.

If your biggest client just got killed in a coup do you really think you'd go through a lot of trouble to track down his various relatives as they're being systematically captured and/or executed by the uprising? No, you'd quietly wrap up all those trusts and funnel the money to safer places, like the bank accounts of yourself and people you trust.

You're just a hypocritical person...

You denigrate my comments yet you just state a reinforcement of my speculation "criminally rich are also, not surprisingly, very good at making money disappear.

this was the premise of my post!

Money went someplace, and we dont know where it went - did HRC profit off it or not....

You can't just speculate. Maybe it was the Pope! Trump! Elvis! Fucking aliens!

Come back with a shred of proof, okay?

> now, I shall admit my ignorance...

You've already demonstrated it in spades.

When something seems odd, maybe you don't have all the facts that would instead paint a much better picture. You're like someone with two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle who's convinced it's something perverted but really it's just a fruit bowl.

You've literally provided nothing to this conversation other than talking shit to me. So fuck off unless you have a better contribution. Answer the following question with some fact, Astroturf:

* Where has Gaddafi's money gone?

You're slinging far more shit in this thread than are the people replying to you, and you know perfectly well that accusing other posters of commenting in bad faith or of astroturfing isn't acceptable here.

If you're going to bring speculation from the "/r/conspiracy" crowd onto this forum, which you won't even admit to believing yourself, you should expect and tolerate the inevitable reaction that follows.
