We saw this with the election polls one year ago...

When the media said the election was going to be a landslide 
one way...you guys predicted another.

Last week I asked you DIRECTLY how YOU felt.

It's important what YOU, the dinarguru.com community, 
feel about Trump's first year in office as it relates to the dinar.

Not surprisingly, the results DO NOT match the mainstream media polls.

Anyway, I asked two simple questions.

1.  If the election was held today, would you vote for 
Donald Trump for president?

2.  How has President Trump impacted Iraq and the Iraqi
dinar?

Simple.

Over 2000 of you voted...here's the results...

Ever wonder how the new Iraqi dinar got started?

Me to!

Here's the whole story straight from the horses mouth...

The General who was in charge of the WHOLE thing!

This link comes via Newshound Guru Chattels ...

It all started in 2003-04...U.S. General Hugh Tant III was asked to become the Director of the Iraqi Currency Exchange (ICE).

You can read all about how the new Iraqi Dinar, you now hold, was printed and distributed throughout Iraq.

It's a very easy to follow Q and A session with the general himself.  At the time he was inside the ICE room of Saddam's palaces.

This comes directly from The White House archives for George W. Bush.

You'll Discover:

• What the currency was originally worth when it was launched in 2003.  It's worth MORE now.
  
• What you could buy a Coca Cola for in Iraq using the new Iraqi dinar.
  
• Where the money was printed and who printed it.
  
• Who REALLY controls Iraq's money supply.
• And a whole lot more...

Enjoy!

Dinar Corp's owner plead guilty yesterday
to charges centered around selling reserves.

It appears they didn't have enough dinar on hand to cover
reserves in the event everyone wanted to fill orders at
once.

You can see the problem there.

If you had orders with Dinar Corp what does this mean moving forward?

You may get your dollars back or dinar depending on
your situation.

Read the report below from the US Attorney.

What does this mean for the dinar you hold?

The report says NOTHING about them selling
fake dinar.

So that's good.

And no one from the community has confirmed
owning fake dinar obtained from Sterling or
Dinar Corp.

Fake dinar DOES NOT appear to be an issue.

Read the full press release below.

I'll keep you updated as we learn more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, July 12, 2016Illinois Man Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud in Connection to Sales of Iraqi Currency       Montgomery, Ala. – On Monday, July 11, 2016, Husam Usama Tayeh, 36, of Oak Lawn, Illinois, pleaded guilty to committing wire fraud, announced United States Attorney George L. Beck, Jr and Joseph P. Borg, Director of the Alabama Securities Commission.  Tayeh’s guilty plea resulted from his operation of a business that unlawfully sold Iraqi currency---dinars—over the internet to customers all over the country.  A joint-federal and state investigation led to Tayeh’s guilty plea. 

       According to court documents, Tayeh was the owner of Dinar Corporation, Inc. (Dinar Corp.), a company registered in Nevada and headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.  Through Dinar Corp., Tayeh operated a website. On that website, Tayeh offered to sell customers Iraqi dinars. 

One of the ways that Tayeh’s customers could buy dinars was through installment contracts.  When a customer entered into an installment contract, Tayeh promised to place in reserve the quantity of dinars to be purchased by the customer.  Tayeh assured customers that he would ship them the reserved dinars upon the customers making their final contract payments.  Tayeh defrauded customers in that he never actually placed dinars in reserve and never had access to enough dinars to fulfill all orders should the orders all come due. 
       Court documents also explain how Tayeh found his way to an Alabama federal court.  Tayeh was unable to find a bank in or around Chicago that would take his ill gotten money.  Therefore, Tayeh contracted with a resident of Dothan, Alabama to launder the Dinar Corp. proceeds through Dothan banks.  
       At some date in the coming months, Chief United States District Judge W. Keith Watkins will sentence Tayeh.  At the sentencing hearing, Tayeh faces a maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment as well as a fine. 
       “Tayeh used advanced technology to commit classic fraud—he duped people into spending their hard-earned money on his worthless wares,” announced United States Attorney Beck.  “Tayeh’s caused harm all over the country.  I am proud to say that we in Alabama put a stop to this far-reaching scheme.”
       Mr. Borg of the Alabama Securities Commission added, “the Iraqi Dinar ‘investment opportunity’ is a scam that has existed for more than a decade and has regained some of its former popularity.  Investors are lured by the ‘can’t miss’ method in which the interested investor profits from a severely undervalued currency that is ‘certain’ to appreciate in value in just a short time. We will continue to investigate and prosecute those like Tayeh who prey on main street investors.”
       The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Alabama Securities Commission.  Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan S. Ross and Kevin P. Davidson are prosecuting the case, along with Steven P. Feaga, Deputy Director of the Alabama Securities Commission for Enforcement and Prosecution, and Amanda W. Senn, General Counsel of the Alabama Securities Commission.

You can see an article here by Banknotenews.com about the new note.

Why is this important?

It's because the note includes the Kurdish
language.

The Kurds have been fighting for inclusion
since the beginning.

It's in the constitution that the Kurdish
language be included on the notes.

Up until now, that promise has gone unfulfilled.

This is a BIG deal!

This suggests a long term relationship is
solidified.

We'll see if this leads to a permanent solution
for the all important HCL. 

Lot's going on it Iraq and with the CBI these
past few month.

The IMF is pushing for international
status.

This could be another step to that
HUGE accomplishment! :)
