Bangladesh Bank prepares for its first trillionaire

Bangladesh Bank prepares for its first trillionaire

The Central Bank of Bangladesh is said to be busy, tidying, dusting, vacuuming-cleaning and making storage space in its cobwebbed vaults for its largest single in-shipment of money in the bank’s entire history. A whopping 32-BILLION Euros!

That’s over THREE TRILLION taka in local Bangladesh currency.

Debonair Bangladeshi business tycoon Dr. Moosa Bin Shamsher wrote to his government requesting permission to make the transfer from overseas, but the huge amount is causing concern.

Bangladesh Finance Minister Mostafa Kamal, MP, told The Daily Jugantor national newspaper he welcomed Shamsher’s good fortune, and that he hopes the business tycoon will put it to good use to benefit Bangladesh.

“Because it's such a large amount of money, however, if it enters the country suddenly, it could swell inflation, creating a negative effect. This needs careful consideration and the approval of the Prime Minister,” he said.

The money has checked all boxes on the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence check list and given a clean bill of health.

Dr. Moosa accumulated the enormous wealth from many years of a successful trading in partnership with his long time friend and business partner, infamous Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.

Shamsher and Khashoggi were innovators in arms trading and revolutionized the business that brought them enormous power and great wealth. Many nations profited from their fresh innovative defence strategies that gave nations independence and the ability to move forward and progress.

While Dr. Moosa awaits permission from the Government of Bangladesh to bring-in his money unhindered, he has been busy making a list of charity programmes he intends to help. The list includes a one billion taka donation to providing patients of a Bangladesh mental institution in Pabna with quality nourishing food.

“Reports of malnourishment are rife and people at present are suffering appallingly,” he said.

“Humanity is all about helping those who cannot help themselves,and these people are in desperate need of human kindness” he added.

He predicts his money will enter Bangladesh later this month. When it arrives, he will be officiated declared the country's first trillionaire.
