What Is a Film Critic Doing with $12,000 Cash?
By Kyle | August 14, 2008
“Apparently a black man with dreads can’t carry that much cash, but I think there are a few worse things to be embarrassed about. I haven’t cheated on my wife like some in the news.”
Er, what does John Edwards have to do with this story, much less race? Mitchell seems awfully eager to change the subject. Question: do you believe Mitchell when he says that he brought the money into Canada and out again? If he inadvertently brought the money into Canada, then by the time he left Canada he would have known he had the cash on hand. Yet he did not tell the border guards this. He declared he had $80 in cash.
Page Six notes that Mitchell was in Toronto to attend a documentary film festival. But he didn’t just attend it: he was one of the judges there. Interesting that he had a large amount of cash that he sought to hide from authorities immediately thereafter. Mitchell was one of only three people on the jury that awarded three valuable prizes.

Twelve grand? That’s a lot to carry around. That’s almost twenty British pounds!

Don Johnson laughs at Elvis Mitchell and his cigar box.

I’m sure that British manufacturers who export to America are laughing along with you.

Twelve grand? … That’s almost twenty British pounds!
Yeah, well, looks like the worm might be turning:
