Charles Taylor, Please Show Us the Money

As millions suffered from all the ravages of war and everything that comes with it, notorious human rights extortionist and war crimes criminal -- charles taylor-- was hoarding enough cash to feed all of Africa.

Radio Netherlands is reporting that Charles Taylor has been accused of hiding five billion dollars in two secret bank accounts in the United States. The allegation has been made by the chief prosecutor of the special Sierra Leone tribunal in an interview with the BBC. Mr Taylor, who is facing trial in The Hague on war crimes charges, is thought to have enriched himself by selling weapons to Sierra Leone in exchange for blood diamonds. Sierra Leone was the scene of a bloody civil war between 1991 and 2001.

The prosecutor claims he has evidence proving that Mr Taylor has more secret banks outside the United States. Mr Taylor has denied any wrongdoing, vowing to return any uncovered money to the Liberian people. The United Nations have frozen all of Mr Taylor's possessions.

What do you think should happen to all this cash?
