the french saga was funded using Euro's which came from selling a bar(pub) in brussels.
the brussels bar, years ago was purchased using a brussels business bank loan..
and repayments were made, profits were made by brussels patrons paying to get drunk over the years.
there was no money laundering or bitcoin, or cash in hand transactions.. the bar was sold legitimately to someone that wanted to genuinely own a bar
the terrorists rented a car using a credit card funded from the legal sale of a bar..
in short the paris attack was funded by a brussels (EU) bank.
Yes and this was very doable since apparently they haven't spent more than 7,000 euros for the whole attack. This amount you earn on one busy weekend in any Brussels bar!

I just wanna say that the terrorist is actually pretty smart by building a business, then attacks the nation where your business stand
Kinda like undercover terrorist
And i can't believe you can earn up to 7k euros in just one weekend
most bar capacity is only 30 people.. so lets say its always at full capacity from midday to mid night. and each patron buys 2 drinks an hour
(60 drinks an hour) x 12hours= 720 drinks a day
at eur3 a drink=eur2160
2 days = eur4320
now the cost of supplies, wages, lease/mortgate, etc.. a weekend would only net around $1000 profit
so id say its more like 2 weeks income.. not to days..
but i think the reason they sold the bar instead of just keeping it and only taking 2 weeks profit.. is simple..
they knew they were never going to return to the bar.. afterall they were suicidal..
so they cashed out the business and probably handed the funds to family or other idiotic suicidal terrorists to do something else on another day.
