From there, a convoy arranged by Haqqani takes the $40 million, takes it to the Afghanistan International Bank, which is not a Taliban bank. It's just a normal bank. But they don't have the authorization to convert the U.S. dollars to Afghanis.
So what AIB, Afghanistan International Bank, does is they give the money to the Taliban-controlled central bank of Afghanistan, which is like our Federal Reserve. The Central Bank of Afghanistan is currently managed and run by Nur Ahmad Ogo, a sanctioned terrorist who was sanctioned by the United States for financing bomb attacks against American soldiers, which killed many American soldiers.

He's still sanctioned, and he gets $40 million at this point. He has monopoly over Afghanistan's money market rates. And so during the conversion, he invites members that are companies that are affiliated with the Al-Qa'ani Network and senior leadership of the Taliban, money exchangers. And they come and they all bid on who wants to buy each dollar and for how much.

And so the winners every week are individuals associated with the Haqqani Network. And because they control the money market, they basically take a cut right there. And then the Afghanis are given back to the Afghanistan International Bank, which then deposits the money into the bank accounts of these NGOs.

Now, there are about 2,500 or so Afghan NGOs and about 300 international NGOs, including American NGOs. Now, these Afghan ones, every last one of them, their licenses and permits to operate were given to them by the Taliban. And I've said this to you previously. If you go and you open an NGO in Afghanistan, the Taliban will not give you a license because you're anti-Taliban.

So all of those NGOs are pro-Taliban, they're sympathetic towards the Taliban, and they get their licenses. Now, at this point, these NGOs, they have to order... Goods and services, right? So what they do is they, let's say 50% of the material that they need comes from abroad and 50% they purchase from Afghanistan. Rice, wheat, flour, oil, medicine.

They can only purchase from a pre-approved, a list of vendors that are given to these NGOs by the Taliban. So the NGOs cannot buy from Mullah Sean Ryan's Afghan store. They can only buy from that particular store that is operated by the Taliban. Now, the other rest of the materials that they need usually comes from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Dubai, but you cannot buy those in Afghanis.

You can only buy those in dollars. So these NGOs, they reconvert the money through the Central Bank of Afghanistan. And during the second conversion, the Taliban take another cut. Then the money is deposited to move to UAE, to Dubai. The bank that moves this money is called Azizi Bank. It's not even a bank. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's a bank that is managed by the Taliban.
