Didnt read all the threads (so maybe mentioned) but i belive that was just his dirty money (witch he would have of more of also?) but i think that money was just "dirty money" and NOT countign his real savings. Sure he had other money saved, his real money. Dont think the money he owned money. Just the money dirty money. He stole over the yrs.

Sorry was tired, but even with all that bad grammar, i think it`s pretty clear to understand, that all that money was dirty money. As even guy in the movie said on phone "its not like its yours" Sad thing is, i have to explain that? If i wrote in greek, i would think you knew what i was trying to say? Movie made it clear as day, i dont care how bad grammar was, like i said. The movie explained it with 2 words "DIRTY MONEY". I shouldnt have had to say any more then those 2 words? But i did, so what. If you could at least read those 2 words. That is all that was needed to explain this question. Cause if you were confused buy the movie and was that all his money? Then i dont think a scholar could have explained it to you? Cause shouldnt have even needed to be explained and no matter how bad my gramar was, i agree. "DIRTY MONEY" is all you had to take away from that. And those words were in there, that should have been enough, no matter how how bad or in arabic, if could make out just the 2 words "DIRTY MONEY" only words that really mattered, just like that guy said in the movie, i take heat for grammar, for explaing a dumb question? Wow?

First of all none of the geeks who actually post on this thread regardless of how they respond will ever even have 282K let alone understand its worth today. The movie was set in 1990 when money had a greater value (ever hear of inflation or hear your grandma talk about how a movie cost a nickel?) And before you start ripping me, I AM one of those geeks who is posting and doesnt have close to 282K

Most people have money saved in two ways when you work for the government. The first is personal savings; the second is government pension. I could be wrong, but I doubt that you could do anything with the pension funds prior to actually terminating employment. Maybe the feds had one or more plans you could move money around and inbetween, but as far as withdrawing them prior to retirement, I doubt you could touch those funds except for special circumstances - illness perhaps.
Private savings? Who knows how much someone like Muir could accumulate. 12 year old scotch isn't cheap. Living in the DC area isn't cheap (which he was doing at least at the end of the film). The Muir character struck me as someone who would spend some of his own money if that is what it took to accomplish a mission.
he should be making $282,000/yr
The President's salary isn't even that big now, let alone nearly 20 years ago. You don't really know what you are talking about. This is hardly a "hole" let alone a "big hole". -

He can kiss that pension goodbye after the whole "Operation Dinner Out" fiasco an unsanctioned spec ops mission into mainland China that leads straight to him. I thought about this alot, he'd probably be on the run for the rest of his life, but for a career-CIA guy, that wouldn't be tough, but then again you got the CIA looking for you, not some podunk Sheriff's department. And he has about a 30 second head start from the point he leaves the building to the time they found out what he just did.
This was an OK movie except for that, but then again, you gotta end the movie somehow, and it was a pretty cool way to end it, the minute details we're obviously going over with a fine tooth comb which is our luxury. -

First off, he would not be making $282k per year working for the government. Check out the SES pay scales. Maximum of about $180k.
Second, he has a pension that will sustain his lifestyle at 75% of prior income. He's already made his large purchases: home,etc, so no more large capital expenditures with fresh cash are required. $282k is gravy.
I find it 100% realistic. -

Actually, NO he had never been divorced. He has one wife the entire time, revealed in last five minutes of movie. So forget the women's wrath
Speaking of THE WIFE.he could have put a large amount of money In her nameor her native country of Korea.
