Swordfish (2001)

Corrected entry: In the coffee shop scene (UK DVD chapter 15, time 47:40) where Gabriel is explaining Operation Swordfish to Jackman, he said the DEA businesses had almost $400,000,000 in the bank when they were finally shut down. Gabriel said that after 15 years of interest the total works out as $9.5 billion. For this to be true, the interest rate would have had to average 96% for the whole 15 years. I wish I knew which bank the DEA used. (00:47:40)

Correction: Actually the compound interest rate would have to be around 23.5% - high but not impossible with the right investments in various off-shore activities (especially illegal ones)
