Two, while obviously Hezbollah does not have millions of dollars in cash sitting in a bunker because they’re a real organization that would invest assets like that in some way, even if they did okay and??? That’s still none of your fucking business?

I don't believe them. But like Hezbollah is not just a paramilitary, it's a civil and political organisation that employs thousands of people, in a country that has had multiple financial crisis's. Even before you get to things like US sanctions and freezes, it makes sense to have cash on hand so you can pay people? Buy supplies? etc.

Exactly! A semi-governmental organization has good reason to have cash reserves, cash being in a place isn’t a justification of anything even if it were true!
