One Way to Pay for a Sex Change Operation

Colombian Cash Pile:

Imagine reaching for some leaves to use as toilet paper and instead finding a plastic container filled with cash. That’s what happened to Wilson Sandoval, a Colombian soldier fighting rebels in the jungle in 2003. Within minutes his battalion located up to $80 million, assumed to have been buried by rebels. According to the Houston Chronicle, “The soldiers abandoned their mission…many went on a three-day bender, quaffing 12-year-old scotch, renting out entire bordellos, and buying luxury SUVs.

One man used his share of the plunder for a sex-change operation.”

Half the unit is still said to be AWOL.
