TNT DINAR UPDATE 8-19-25

The Spaces covers Tony and Ray’s latest RV intel and a candid Q&A. Tony recaps a volatile weekend: Iraqi military officers were briefed on new lower denoms and told wider distribution and rate changes would start Monday, but a stop order followed due to geopolitical friction involving Israel, Gaza relocation plans, Iran, and post–Trump/Putin discussions. Banks were briefed this morning to expect movement by Friday, yet later guidance said a stop was issued last night; by call’s end Tony said they’d been given a specific time window “today,” with contingencies of Friday or Sept 1 and a recurring pattern of late reversals. He warns the USD could weaken further as global trade blocs bypass the US, and urges wealth-protection planning. Administrative reminders include: follow email instructions, beware X/Twitter impostors, and handle account updates yourself. Q&A spans exchange tactics (counting in sight, cash availability, 800-number flow), trust and tax setup (non‑statutory trusts; keep tax-reserve in personal account), and AML scrutiny. One caller reports a partial exchange at $28/IQD and quoted rates for other currencies, stressing patience.

Executive summary

• Core intel: Multiple sources reported Iraq’s military officers were briefed Saturday on new lower denominations (LDs), with broader military briefings and LD distribution planned for Monday, accompanied by a rate change to protect the public. Banks in several states were pre‑briefed to be ready (including weekend staffing). The Monday change did not occur.
• Conflicting directives: After banks were told “this is the week (by Friday),” Tony says three‑letter agency contacts conveyed a stop order issued the prior night—followed by a reversal (“back on again”), with claims of payments being released and a large transfer to Baghdad. Banks were reportedly given a specific time “today” to go, with caveats that it could slip to Friday or to the 1st if missed.
• US gatekeeping: Tony reiterated the US is the gating jurisdiction (server in Houston; Treasury must clear); he attributes repeated stop‑go decisions to US leadership using the event as a negotiating tool.
• Geopolitics: Tony linked delays to tension around Israel/Gaza plans (population displacement proposals opposed by Egypt and others), Iran’s regional activities, and fallout from a Trump–Putin meeting, suggesting these dynamics are influencing timing.
• Outlook and expectations: No Wednesdays (99.9% per Tony’s sources). If not “today,” then Friday; if not Friday, default to the 1st. Tony emphasized the “roller coaster” nature—rapid, intraday reversals—asking listeners to avoid emotional whiplash as he filters minute‑by‑minute churn.
• Economy/wealth planning: Tony warned of potential USD weakness (downside risk up to 30% over time), trade/tariff re‑alignment, and corporate relocations. He urged post‑event wealth protection planning, including considering dual citizenship and non‑US banking access to mitigate hypothetical restrictions (e.g., martial law withdrawal limits)—framing these as contingency strategies.
• Member exchange testimony: “Blessed Veteran” reported exchanging 1 million IQD at $28 per dinar without an NDA (pending full completion later), and previously being quoted other high rates for different currencies. He urged patience and disciplined negotiation. Tony stressed verification, counting in front of you, and prudent post‑exchange spending.
• Admin/operations: G‑Man and Tony repeated: read emails fully (scroll to the bottom), do not text/email Tony for address/phone/credit‑card changes, and beware fake X/Twitter accounts soliciting payments. A 24‑hour renewal window had been offered previously; individual exceptions will not be handled going forward. One member’s email issue traced to paying without subscribing to the email list.

Recent timeline and bank posture (Tony’s account)

• Prior week (Fri–Sun):
  • Friday: Banks told to staff through weekend and for two weeks; large Monday crowds expected.
  • Saturday: Iraq military officers allegedly briefed on new LDs (security features, handling) in a security briefing.
  • Sunday: Non‑officer briefings reportedly planned Monday morning; contractors/UN reps confirmed distribution across diverse locations to avoid concentration. Markets/rates were expected to adjust on Monday morning with military/police on streets to protect from price gouging.
• Monday: Expected “first sale” and rate change did not materialize. Tony delayed calling, awaiting confirmation all day.
• Tuesday morning:
  • Banks (multiple states) were reportedly briefed “it’s this week by Friday.”
  • Subsequently, Tony says three‑letter agency contacts conveyed a stop order from the prior night—“not expecting anything this week.”
  • Hours later: “Back on again.” Narrative of payments being released; a cited article about funds (Tony referenced “$120B to Baghdad today”). Banks told an exact time “today” to execute, with explicit warnings that it may still change.
• Scheduling lore: Tony repeated that execution “never happens on a Wednesday” (per his sources). If not “today,” look to Friday; if missed, roll to the 1st.

Geopolitical drivers Tony believes are impacting timing

• Israel/Gaza removal plan: Tony asserted a months‑old plan between Netanyahu and Trump to clear Gaza’s 25‑mile strip, redevelop, and relocate the population by distributing them among several countries (he mentioned Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Libya, Syria; said some nations refused). Egypt publicly opposed “ethnic cleansing,” drawing a “red line.” Tony cited an Israeli defense minister’s inflammatory statement about casualties, saying this fueled opposition.
• Iran influence: Tony alluded to unresolved issues involving Iran, Israel, and the US; said details could not be shared, but that these were actively affecting timing. He mentioned Nouri al‑Maliki attending a meeting and being “let out,” implying ongoing political wrangling.
• US–Russia: Tony referenced a “Trump–Putin” agenda for the region, reading an Iraqi statement highlighting resistance to violating Iraq’s sovereignty and opposing expansionist actions, suggesting prolonged tensions.
• Negotiation leverage: Tony framed the RV as a “carrot and stick” in broader negotiations; once it goes, that leverage is gone—thus parties seek to extract maximum concessions ex ante.

US gatekeeping and execution mechanics (Tony’s view)

• Server/Treasury: Tony stated the “server is in Houston, Texas” and US Treasury must clear for the US to go; “no one goes until this country goes.”
• Decision‑maker: Tony repeatedly attributed stop/start calls to US leadership (naming Trump in this 2020‑dated call), characterizing it as a negotiation tool.

Member exchange testimony and process pointers

• Partial exchange report (Blessed Veteran):
  • Exchanged: 1,000,000 IQD at $28.00 per dinar (he asked for $28.50; was countered to $28.00). He did not sign an NDA for this partial exchange; expects to sign one when exchanging “hundreds of millions” later via the 800‑number process.
  • Prior quotes (first attempt, halted by higher‑ups): reported being quoted VND at $11.40; another currency at $3.47; and another at $0.35. He said a branch manager was told to stop because “some guy named Tony” might broadcast instructions. Note: These rate claims are his; they were not independently verified on the call.
  • Funds access: He left funds in the account and walked out with a debit card for immediate use.
• Verification protocol: Tony stressed currency should be counted and verified on machines in front of you; do not allow currency out of sight before sign‑off.
• Monitoring and spending: Tony and Blessed Veteran cautioned that authorities (e.g., Homeland Security) will monitor accounts and suspicious behavior, particularly for individuals with incongruent profiles (e.g., no visible income arriving with large amounts of currency). Prudent, explainable spending and solid documentation are advised.

Economic outlook and wealth‑protection guidance (Tony’s perspective)

• Dollar trajectory: Tony expects USD weakness (potentially up to ~30% over time, given current policy dynamics), accelerated by tariff regimes, supply chain shifts, and regional trade blocs that bypass the US.
• Corporate shifts: He cited announcements (e.g., Subaru moving plants) and a broader trend of companies redirecting trade/production toward Asia or other partners.
• “Weaker dollar makes more money”: Tony quoted Trump favorably on export advantages of a weaker dollar, clarifying that “you” making more money refers to elites/corporations, while households face higher costs.
• Contingency planning:
  • Dual citizenship/foreign banking: Some wealthy individuals are obtaining secondary citizenships and moving part of their funds abroad as a hedge against potential domestic capital controls.
  • Hypothetical martial law scenario: Tony warned that, if declared, cash withdrawal limits (e.g., $500/week) could constrain domestic funds. He posited that externally held funds accessed via foreign debit cards might remain spendable electronically in the US.
  • Emphasis: These are contingency strategies; he urged listeners to plan now so they need not improvise under stress.

Practical guidance from Q&A

• 800‑number dissemination: Tony will first text and email that a call is imminent, provide the informational briefing, then share numbers.
• Where to deposit first: Personal account is fine (personal A vs personal B makes no difference); you can later move funds to a trust.
• Trust structures: Tony/Ray recommend complex non‑statutory trusts (not statutory). Work with qualified professionals.
• Taxes:
  • Conservative set‑aside: Some have suggested setting aside 50% for possible taxes; if so, those funds should remain in your personal name to pay your personal tax liability (do not use trust funds to pay personal taxes). Tony remarked that people he knows who were paid in prior years “still haven’t paid taxes,” but that is anecdotal and not advice; consult a licensed tax professional.
• Cash at exchange: Past figures have floated ($10k then $7k). Current cap was not confirmed; however, you’ll have immediate account access and debit card issuance was reported by the member.
• QFS (Quantum Financial System): Tony views it as a faster, more transparent settlement system; he does not see it as protecting depositors from banks investing/losing money. Standard risk management still applies.
• Denominations and validity:
  • IQD: Use post‑2003 notes (pre‑2003 Saddam notes are invalid). High denominations (25k/50k) reduce paper volume.
  • Verified dealers: Buy only from reputable, verifiable currency dealers to avoid counterfeits.
  • Digital vs physical: Holding currency digitally enables instant FX conversion at the forex rate when the rate changes; possessing physical notes may allow negotiating bank‑offered rates, potentially higher than forex, but requires an appointment and process.
• Savings and loans: Participation varies; ask your institution whether they handle foreign currency exchanges.
• Exchange session logistics: Expect fast processing for simple counter exchanges (15–20 minutes); more complex portfolios will require longer, dedicated sessions. Do not let your currency leave your sight before it is counted/verified and you sign off.

Administrative and community notes

• Read emails fully: Scroll to the bottom; important instructions and links are there. Tony will not handle one‑off admin requests by text/email.
• Maintain your own data: Do not ask Tony to change your phone/email/credit card; seek local help (friend/library/store customer service) to manage your subscriptions.
• Subscription window: A 24‑hour renewal window was opened previously for expiring members; it is now closed. One caller’s issue traced to paying without actually subscribing to the email list; payment alone does not add you to the distribution—ensure you click “subscribe.”
• Refunds: In the specific case where payment occurred without subscription, Tony offered a refund; this was an exception, not a general process.
• Beware impostors: Fake accounts on X/Twitter and other platforms are soliciting fees (e.g., $7/month). Tony has not charged via X; official channels are those explicitly announced by Tony/Ray. Report impostors.
• “Secret Society” calls: Ray reportedly runs additional small‑group calls; regular members noted that some community members (e.g., 4–4) listen there while in recovery.
• Community: Birthdays acknowledged; tone mixed with humor to offset stress.

Action items for listeners

• Prepare documents: IDs, currency inventory, questions, desired target rates; be ready to negotiate politely and specifically.
• Decide account path: Identify the personal account for initial deposit; plan post‑exchange transfers to trusts/entities with professional guidance.
• Verify your bank: Confirm FX services and branch procedures; know whether your institution will count/verify notes on‑site.
• Communication: Ensure you are properly subscribed to the official email list; whitelist sender; check spam/promotions folders.
• Security/compliance: Maintain clear source‑of‑funds documentation; anticipate enhanced monitoring; avoid conspicuous, unexplained spending.
• Wealth planning: Engage licensed tax, legal, and financial advisors now. Consider diversification and contingency access strategies consistent with law and your risk profile.
• Scam vigilance: Ignore unsolicited fee requests; verify any “official” number via Tony/Ray’s direct announcements only.

Open items and uncertainties

• Execution window: While Tony relayed a specific “today” time given to banks, he underscored that the status can change hour‑to‑hour. Fallback dates (Friday; then the 1st) are contingent.
• Geopolitical impact: Tony indicated sensitive issues (Iran/Israel/US interactions) are unfolding and cannot be detailed; these may continue to affect timing.
• Rates: The high rates reported by one member are unverified and may vary by institution, amount, or timing; no official schedule or public rate sheet was provided.
• Cash withdrawal caps: Exact limits at appointment were not confirmed; plan to rely on immediate electronic access and a debit card.

Closing notes (host’s sign‑off)

• Mood: “Laugh or cry—no tears left.” Tony framed the process as a test of patience and perspective. He intends to filter out minute‑to‑minute swings to spare listeners unnecessary stress.
• Next communications: Tony said he will not do a call tomorrow. If “go” occurs, expect a text/email alert ahead of a live call with details and numbers.
• Parting guidance: Enjoy the day, stay “super fantastic,” be prepared, and expect it could get “worse before it gets better” for society at large—even after liquidity—making planning essential.
