Human greed and frailty, I guess.
knocking off fund ( Billions in aid is OK )?

"In August 2002, international donors forced Arafat to sign over his investments to the Palestine Investment Fund, which was audited by U.S. accountants and managed by Palestinian Finance Minister Salam Fayyad, a former International Monetary Fund official.
After scouring corporations throughout the Arab world and bank accounts in the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg, the auditors identified $800 million, which has been made a part of the Palestinian Authority's official budget.
"It's the most successful financial reform in the Arab world," says Jim Prince, president of the Los Angeles — based Democracy Council and head of the audit team."
