Financial support: Experts weigh in on how Leslie Johnson stuffed $79,600 into her bra

All I can say is that this is what makes America great.

Back around 1970 I saw Lawrence "Slippery" Jackson carry $100,000 in a suitcase into Guys & Dolls pool room in Silver Hill, in order to pay off a gambling debt. But I don't think he ever thought of trying to stuff it into his jock strap. This Johnson lady, she's got style!

Now you know why money is dirty. Look where it was stuffed....

I guess she did not have big enough of a freezer!

I think we're going to need a bigger bra.

Fascinating article. Should have had some illustrations and/or photos though.

Finally reporting on this story that answers the important questions!

I now understand what the politicians mean by "Soft Money".

Bra? No. Underwear yes, one with butt pads, remove the pads and stuff the money there. You'll just look like Kim Kardashian.

That money could use some laundering.

Oh, brave new world, where a woman can bravely, if not brazenly, use her brain in such a way. Bravo!

In case anyone was wondering because the Post is still going out of its way to mention it.....The Johnsons are BOTH DEMOCRATS.

Pure comedy -- I'm glad I'm not the only one who paused when this hit the news....well,paused and then chuckled.

This is the sort of hard news reporting we rely on you for, Amy and Roxanne. When the stories about money in underwear first broke, I was looking forward to a good explanation of the physics involved, and of course the Reliable Source came through. Now, is there a Korean animated video reenactment up yet?

Thanks for this public service. We had a right to know..........and wonder. But okay we now know it is possible yet uncomfortable. How about noticeable? Were the cops fooled or did Leslie Johnson confess?

Links not working properly. I clicked on the main story, and it also brought me here. WaPo must REALLY want people to know about Leslie Johnson's bra.

She shoulda claimed to be a muslim. Then she couldn't be searched.

Straight out of the movie "goodfellas" LOL

This is quite a handful.

Will there be a demo of the bra stuffing during the trail?

Thanx joeweiser for your earlier comment, I even read it with the voice of Bullwinkle saying the words. Priceless!

What an Uplifting story!!

Thankful it wasn't a Living Bra - it would have EATEN all that money!!!!

I think the bra idea is great. It gives us all something to talk about and we all know that if we get a PG county jury they will get off free. "roflmao

Didn't I already read this somewhere? Perhaps tbd.com?

As bad as this situation is, I can't help but laugh at the visual. It sounds like something straight out of an "I Love Lucy" episode.

I heard of a woman who tried to shoplift a portable TV by waddling out holding it between her knees, so I guess $79,600 in a bra would be a lesser problem....

Bad enough to be arrested and drag the county into the slop without making yourself a national joke.

If the bra doesn't fit, you must acquit!

Does this mean she's been busted?

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Nice tits"

All done by a former DC Admin Judge and future County Councilwomen. How ethical does she seem now?

I wonder if TSA would have caught it? :D

Ma'm you gotta fill out a currency transaction report for transporting over $10K.

I've always tucked money in my bra(not $80k!) if I'm traveling, shopping, or headed to the bank to make a deposit. My grandmother taught me.

You have to give her "E" for effort.
I could care less for this government, as we now live under a dictatorship.
LOve your country, but don't trust your Government...

Not possible with such a short time line to place almost $80,000 in $100 bills in a bra. The FBI is not telling the full truth on this one. Part of that money was likely in her panties. That is the only way you place that amount of money in underwear during a quickie.

This is such a sad case. Perhaps they were set up. Certainly the couple would have made better plans to conceal the ca$h. I guess I'll have to wait to trial before I find out the rest of this tale.

Just think if she had been an "A" cup....the gig would have been up quickly!!

DC beats Boston!

Haven't heard the name "Slippery Jackson" for many, many years. Guess he had more class or just didn't wear a bra. But then he didn't know the police were watching him.

To those whining about full body scans at airports.
Here is a good reason.

wish I could try this at home.

If the bra won't fit, you must acquit.

@thingsfallapart Those popular animated news videos (NMA News) are not Korean. They are Taiwanese.

Amy, Roxanne, you have never let me down. I've been wondering about how she could have stuffed 7600 $100 bills into her bra as well. How much time did she have to do it?

I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is - Black White Hub. c O m--- All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!

The amazing thing is that it was all in one-dollar bills !!

And this is important because? Perhaps if everyone is focused on this non-issue, it will diminish the severity of the alleged misdeeds? Why is this news?
