...but floating a $9.3 balloon for the sake of an experiment wow! now that's expensive. so probably amateurs...and not very smart ones at that...because as we've all learned from the movies three people who are carrying money shouldn't fly all together with the money on one flight. They should split up the money and go on three different flights. Oh wait that requires trust...so may-be they aren't amateurs or systems testers at all...may-be they are just plain old stupid crooks!

and give his granma a Rosh Hashana gift

I would have thought it would take alot more than 3 suitcases ti carry $9.3 million in cash... this is not the movies. Kind of reminds me story my parents told me once about how in the 70s in the UK you were not allowed to take more than £50 cash out the country and that was before the credit card era so they had to smuggle money out if they were going to have enough cash for a decent vacation and if they had been caught with over £50 they would go to jail for smuggling same as if your bringing $9.3 million.
