Over the past several days I’ve received a substantial number of messages from Dinar holders angry about this interminable wait.  I have heard of homes being foreclosed, businesses bankrupt, marriages falling apart, ministries, closed, and multiple instances of declining health of dinar holder’s and their families. Such issues effect me deeply.

Perhaps the angriest of everybody are the politicians, military brass and high level civil servants who received SK R’s or had funds frozen in their bank accounts months ago but whom are still unable to access any of their funds.

Like many of you, I am beyond frustration especially since the Iraqi administratively changed its procedures from allowing the RV to happen all at once to a very slow roll out. This hyper-careful approach reminds me of a kindergartners trying to remove a bandage bit by bit. The amount of pain caused by these actions from my viewpoint exceeds the pain from any minor glitches which might occur in a rapid roll out.

It is been exceedingly difficult to gain any creditable Intel over the past few weeks since many of our best sources have signed nondisclosure agreements or told to be silent with the threat of losing their opportunity to exchange currency at a favorable rate.

Still, there are several subtle signs that the process is happening. John Bainer the speaker of the house and Joe Biden the vice president along with the Secretary-General of the UN, ChristineLeguard, Madam Wu, and Jack Lew are in Iraq – hopefully to be present for the long awaited announcement.

On March 3 Iraq gave a 30 day notice to international agencies about their intent to revalue. We now close the end of that time frame.

One statement keeps me hopeful and remaining optimistic during these difficult times, Dr. Shibbi the head of the Central Bank of Iraq stated over five years ago that the time immediately preceding the roll out would be chaotic and full of misinformation. 

I wonder if such statements were prophetic.
