Default Re: Japanese Carrying $134 Billion Worth of U.S. Bonds Detained in Italy

Here's somthing new translated from "La Provincia", Como's local newspaper:

"Air of International Plot for the Bonds Seized at Chiasso"

A plan of the North Korean Intelligence Service to destabalize the western financial market. Bonds issued from the USA central bank to cover "problem" financial titles, those- to make it clear- which have caused the collapse of the world's markets, and ended up who knows how in the hands of two anonymous 50 yo Japanese. Or better, monetary titles, property of a foreign state "wrongly" transported not in a diplomatic breifcase.

The story of the 134 billion dollars in US Bonds seized by the GdF and the border police at the international station of Chiasso are taking on the flare of a real international plot on the internet. Even though related with delays, the means of international information (from Japan to the USA, where it seems that the theme is even moving the New York Times) are becoming more and more interested in the bonds that the two men with Japanese pasports were transporting in their luggage, while attempting to cross the border by train into Ticino (Switzerland).

The theories on the real provenience of those Federal Reserve bonds abound. Asianews, for example, put into relation the recent resigning of the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs Kunio Hatoyama with the seizure at Chiasso, and hypothize that those bonds are the funds (134.5 Trillion dollars)- that the US Minister of the Treasury had recently mentioned- tied to the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or rather, the special funds of the American government for the aid of the "problem" titles which caused the collapse of the financial markets.

There is also, in certain specialized American economic sites who hypothize a possible involvement of the North Korean Intelligence Service, sustaining that the two persons stopped were possibly not Japanese.

Up to here the drum signals of the media run on the web. The chronicals say, at least for now, that it is a less exotic story.

First of all, the facts: the SEC (the US Securities and Exchange Commission) has recieved the responsability of establishing if the bonds are false or authentic. And we're still waiting for an answer. It appears almost certain, though, as for the 10 Kennedy Bonds of one milion each are probably false (a confirmation has come from the States; but the FED has issued one million dollar Kennedy bonds in the past). As far as the other 249 500 million dollar bonds, the print is definately better being that they are printed on filagreed paper. But the investigators are doubtful of their authentacy.

At this point it is valid to ask: cui prodest? It is to be underlined that the market of false bonds, especially if they are discreet or well made, is in the hands of organized crime. The two Japanese (if they are truely Japanese, being that the Japanese Embassy must provide confirmation of their identity and of their documents) could be victims or active protaganists of an enormous scam. It is possible that after having acquired or recieved the "false" bonds from the FED, they were heading to Switzerland to, maybe, use them as a garantee for some important international deal.

As for Como's Toll station, the passage of false bonds is nothing new considering six similar seizures in the past two years even if the sums were quite smaller.
