"RV UPDATE " BY FNU LNU, 15 FEB

 International attorneys told me...there would be ten off premises exchange locations allocated by regional population throughout the Nation. I am assuming they are using the 10 United Nations Regions, roughly the same as Federal Regions...I was told...there would be an exchange facility in the most heavily populated city in that region.  For instance, Region ten encompasses Washington State and Seattle would be the location for that region...Also, by Off Premises, I mean locations that were NOT inside banks but usually nearby to a participating bank...These are what the unlearned are calling Redemption Centers.

Some opine that there is no such thing as a Redemption Center while others claim to be in contact with such Centers and their personnel.  What they (redemption centers) are, is a simple solution to a simple problem.

 Many of the large banks in heavily populated urban centers were concerned about having the Dinar traffic clog their lobbies at exchange time. The solution is to have a separate, off-premises, specialized, Exchange Center, complete with Delaru computer, in the most populated city in each of the 10 federal regions...I haven't been informed of any changes.

 Parliamentary finance likely ‘freeze’ of new Iraqi banks by US Treasury

“On the evening of last Sunday, I met the US Treasury Attache in Baghdad and asked him about the reasons for the freezing of 24 Iraqi banks, and he explained to me that most of the banks transferred large amounts of dollars to Iran and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and this was the reason for their freezing and stopping them from work,” Al-Dulaimi told Shaf News.

Al-Dulaimi added, “At the moment, there are no banks that may be closed unless there are new breaches, and the banks that have closed some of them are dealing with false documents regarding financial transfers.”

She suggested that “if the situation remains as it is now and the central bank did not find treatments for the situation of these banks in the near future, we could see another meal of banks being frozen and their dealing in dollars banned and this affects the economic situation in the country.”

The US Treasury Department has previously included a number of Iraqi private banks and banking companies on the sanctions list, most recently on January 29, where the US Department announced the placing of Iraq’s “Huda” Bank, on the sanctions list, as a major concern regarding money laundering because it “acts as a channel for the financing of terrorism by Iran.”
