Maxi Seizure of US Bonds: The Mystery Thickens

The mystery tied to the seizure of American Bonds seized at Chiasso last Monday thickens. The international press, in these last hours, has connected the announcement of the 134,5 billion dollars to two distinct facts that involve the US and Japan.

USA:
As reported in AsiaNews.it the 30th of March, some American newspapers had given out the notice that the American Treasury had 134,5 billion dollars available from a special fund for "problem" financial titles. An unexpected sum that permitted the Obama government to not ask for new funding from the American Congress.

Japan: In these last hours, there is news of the resignation of the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs Kunio Hatoyama. Initially tied to indiscretions with the vertex of policy disagreement of the Japanese Postal Service, the resignation of the minister has been put in relation to the maxi-seizure at Chiasso. It is no coincidence that the two men found with the bonds have Japanese passports.

Hypothesis: First of all, it needs to be verified that the bonds are real. Once this is confirmed, it must be asked why these bonds were in Italy and why the two curriers were trying to take them, although clumsily, into Switzerland. If they are US Treasury bonds, why were they issued without documentation for their use. And also, who do the titles really belong to? All questions which will probably be answered in the next few days. Only in this way will this matter be completely exposed.

I also found this tidbit, translated from:

96 Billion (euro): Interview with Col. Mecarelli (GdF)

-Have there ever been previous seizures of this magnitude?

-I can tell you that this is not the first time that we seize huge amounts of US Bonds. That involved, obviously, different sums nonetheless quite consistent; the main seizure being of 100 million in Bonds eventually found to be counterfit.
