Have You Heard About This ?????

2 Japanese Carrying $134 Billion In U.S. Bonds Detained In Italy

This was from last week. I read about it then and would have thought that this would be a big story.

You'd never know it from the lack of coverage. Here's one of the parts I found interesting -

"The treasure was in the hands of two Japanese from Italy were trying to enter Switzerland. In a suitcase were 249 bonds of the ‘Federal Reserve‘ American in the nominal value of 500 million each, and 10 ‘ bond Kennedy ‘ of the nominal value of $ 1 billion each, in addition to what is described as very original banking documentation."

500 Million Each?!?!?!?!?
Holy Shit!!!! And 10 single Bonds worth 1 Billion each?

How the hell did these guys even get this kinda shit?
I ain't buying the counterfeit idea either. Who the hell you gonna sell them to?

See The Saga Of The Bearer Bonds to,read an opinion on that part from a guy who's a lot smarter than me.

I have no idea what the hell this is about, but it seems odd that these guys are carrying more than the gross domestic product of New Zealand around in a suitcase.

This will make a hell of a good movie some day.

Gratuitous Picture-
Well at least one of them does.
