Following the 18 March 1970 anti-Sihanouk and anti-Khmer-monarchy Putsch led by Lon Nol and Sirik Matak, In Tam, Cheng Heng, Mr. In Tam said: “Mrs. Monique Sihanouk owns a large fortune, a huge mountain of US dollars stashed in a British bank. In a room of this British bank, Monique Sihanouk’s US dollar bills almost pierce the roof (sic!!) of this British bank.
Since Monique Sihanouk owns another mountain of US dollars, she decided to entrust this mountain of US dollars to a Swiss Bank.
Reporters of the major International media went to the banks involved (in the UK and Switzerland). They did not find anything which belonged to me or to my wife Monique. However, they discovered that Lon Nol and some of his accomplices in the 18 March 1970 Putsch in Cambodia had money deposited in foreign banks (overseas).

In Beijing, my wife, Monique, immediately convened the International media (their reporters in Beijing). She told them: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am giving you on this very same moment, in writing and with my signature, the authorization to do a research on British and Swiss banks that Mr. In Tam talked about on the so-called US dollars that I would have owned. If you find any, you can take them all (these US dollars). This fortune will belong to you.x x
