Oh man, the Bullfeces just gets worse and worse.
 
 Check out this quote from a story in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
 
 "Castro is known to have at his disposal several homes including hunting ranches, a fleet of Mercedes vehicles and private planes, said Antonio Jorge, a Cuba specialist and professor of economics and international relations at Florida International University. "If he has that kind of luxurious lifestyle, I would think it's not past him to take money for any eventuality," he said. "I find it hard to believe that over almost 48 years he has only skimmed $900 million."
 
 Given that longtime dictators such as the Shah of Iran and Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines were reported to have fleeced their countries for billions of dollars, "I would not be surprised if Castro had $4 billion to $5 billion," he said.

 
 How's that for deductive reasoning. Pure BS in my opinion.
 
 But heck, that's US propaganda for you.
