Eddy Tansil's money

Eddy Tansil's money

From Kompas

As prisoner Eddy Tansil walked out from his prison, many domestic as well as foreign media wrote about the amount of money involved in Eddy Tansil's fraud. Rp 1 trillion is indeed a fantastic amount. Shall we visualize it?

If we buy cars at Rp 50 million each we will have 26,000 cars. If the owner changes his car every day, just like changing his clothes or socks, then it will take him 71 years till the last car gets its turn.

If the whole amount is in Rp 10,000 banknotes and all the banknotes are piled up in a stack, that stack will be 13 kilometers high. So, the government has good reasons to try to rearrest Eddy Tansil, and with the help of all citizens, I hope this manhunt will succeed.
