Hizbullah Key Financier Tajideen Pleads Guilty in U.S.
[AnNahar] Lebanese businessman Kassim Tajideen, designated by US authorities as an important financial supporter of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
, pleaded guilty Thursday to charges related to evading sanctions against him, a Justice Department statement said.

Tajideen, 63, pleaded guilty before a Washington court and faces five years in prison and a forfeiture of $50 million if his deal with prosecutors is accepted.

He was named a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in May 2009 by the Treasury Department over his links to Hizbullah, a Shiite political party and krazed killer group in Leb.

Tajideen has been detained since extradition to the United States in March 2017 after his arrest overseas, the statement added.

"We are going to keep targeting Hizbullah and other terrorist groups and their supporters, and we are going to keep winning," said Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who hailed the guilty plea.

Hizbullah has been a US designated terrorist group since 1997 and fights alongside the regime of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

#1 Give him a bushel of monopoly money that he has to count every day in his cell and submit the correct total by dinner time. The guards can have fun adding and subtracting bills at random each day. Bad count, no chow.
