The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.
A fifth American man was released by Iran separately.
The $400 million payment laundered via untraceable Swiss and Euro currency was sent to an acknowledged state sponsor of international terrorism, by persons unknown, under the objection of the DoJ (due to obvious illegalities), via an unmarked jet in the middle of the night, without the knowledge of Congress.

Did I mention the Swiss franks and Euros will go to a state sponsor of international terrorism and primary funding agent of Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO, and Iraqi Shia terrorist groups ?
Why would anyone doubt the "there's no there there" response given by Admiral (Ret) John F. Kirby ? [sarc off]
