Why does Osama bin Laden hate the US - and where did he get all that money?

I'm afraid Sheena Miller's article leaves one question unanswered. She says that bin Laden is the son of a Saudi billionaire, which explains his money. But where does he keep it and how does he get access to it? You would think that the USA would have put pressure on the bank and/or country where he has his wealth in order to stop him getting his hands on it (especially if it is in Saudi Arabia, a close ally of America). Is there a possiblility that his fortune is actually located within the US banking system.

I would have thought that someone who inherited $300 million way back in 1968 would have set up accounts where he could access his money over the years. Money can buy a lot of cash security.
