$134.5 Billion Bonds 2 Japanese Men, have you heard the story?

This is a poll to find out if you've heard about the two japanese men that were caught smuggling $134,500,000,000 worth of US Treasury Bearer Bonds going from Italy to Switzerland.


Chances are you didn't hear about it from MSM News.

Here are some sources

You do understand that they HAD to turn out to be fakes. Can you imagine the consequences for the dollar if they wound up being real and some country was trying to dump them?
Who in their right mind do you think would try to pass a counterfeit $1,000,000,000 bond??? As if the bank would say, sure, hold on let me get you your cash,,,

I heard the fakes were so bad, that they had a picture of the space shuttle on the back, instead of the Saturn V rocket.

Bearer Bonds went away before the shuttle program.
