Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.16.09)
Most Recently Turkey found a large amount of USD, 13 Billion USD in a purse :) That helped to balance Turkish Balance of Payment and money is said to come from Iran Even some Iranian opposition leaders, working for Zionism filed complaint to undermine Iranian 13 billion USD in Turkish Balance of Payment Account

Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.17.09)
Now, we know why Turkey likes Iran so much all of a sudden. They can buy you out. I guess somethings never change in Turkey. What happened to all the chest pounding you do for pals? Thanks for clearing that up.
3. to #1 found money? or borowed
ghostq   (12.17.09)
people and country don't just find money, but if Turkey will continue to support Iran the money will stop to go her way. and since you don't have oil you will turn to third world country, you will remember this era as the dark era of Turkey since you turn your back on your secular legacy. naturaly I will say Itold you so.

5. Damage is done! - Swiss should Pay $$!
nadav ,   israel   (12.17.09)
This huge amount of $$ - and there's probably more that the US hasn't caught (yet) has clearly already been used to fund Iran's genocidal war plans. What will the Swiss say this time? That they didn't know?- just like they didn't know that Nazi gold came from murdered Jews (including their gold fillings) and the banks of occupied countries?! The Swiss should be ashamed of themselves! They should be forced to pay for missile defense shields for Israel and American allies in the Mideast! It's bad enough the Swiss banks allow for criminal Drug Cartels and dictators to launder Billions every year and profit from it, but now they are funding the war plans of a country hell bent on perpetrating another Holocaust!!

That goes for any of Iran's neighbors. The Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran sits on one of the most active earthquake zones in the world. Iran registered three earthquakes in the past month. The most recent occured last weekend in southern Iran. Apparently the plant is not built to withstand a major quake.
7. the Swiss, the modern vulture of Europe
Jojo ,   Prt Wash NY   (12.17.09)
Ah!, the Swiss. Their fame has not diminished one bit since the glorious days of WWII. Sleeping with the enemy has always paid off handsomely. Then, it was cattle trains filled with Jews delivered efficiently, looting jewish bank accts.,gold from fillings (probably many swiss still have fillings from this gold in their mouth). Today, new trends are emerging. It's very fashionable to launder $ from crime bosses, from dictators (who steal from their citizens), from drug cartels (they deposit $ billions); so what's a few $ billions diverted to Iran (plenty of cash there). You can rely on the Swiss to jump on every opportunity that present itself, and reap their just rewards. So what's a 1/2 billion $. One phone call is all that's needed to fill the 'gap'.

Turkey can be bought for money. What a great country
11. AA The Swiss and their ill gotten gains!
Ross ,   USA   (05.24.10)
They began a long time ago,were in cahoots with the Gernans. The Holocaust survivors still have to get all their possessions back. That is why I would named them:thieves and vagabonds. Their only name to fame is to accrue the monies they pile in their banks for the rich Arabs,infamous dictators, corrupt business men/women,drug dealers who stash their ill gotten gains. In short a criminal safe haven type of bank. I feel sure there are not too many honest investors who use that establishment.At least not to my knowledge. And what sort of fine is that supposed to be? An insignificant fine to be sure. I mean considering they are worth billions. Therefore the fine should have been commensurate to their dirty deals with Iran. Fine world we live in for sure. I just give up
