In suitcase 134 billion fake bond: mystery on two Asian stopped at Chiasso

ROME (22 June) - Remains fixed the mystery on two Asian pecked past June 4 to Chiasso from the revenue Officer while wanted to enter in Switzerland with in suitcase fake U.S. bonds of the value of 134 miiardi of dollars (about 100 billion euro), more or except for the gross domestic product of the New Zealand.

The U.S. Treasury had not doubtful: the titles of U.S. credit for a nominal value of 134 billion dollars - 249 bond of the Federal Reserve of the value of 500 million dollars the one and ten bond Kennedy of the value of a billion dollars each - found in a suitcase with double bottom I am fake. "It is discussed plainly of a fake one, not certainty of a good untruth", said to the agency Reuters Stephen Meyerhardt, spokesperson of the office of the public debt to the U.S. Treasury, after that the attorney's office of Como, alerted from the yellow Flames, had started an inquiry.

Like a spy story. But the mystery on the incredible event remains fixed and I am immediately begun to move about the more disparate theories. They are money of terrorists that should serve to buy mass of destructions of arms. They are the Japanese that want to free itself of dollars in secret. They are agents of Kim Jong-il that want to carry the money of the north korean dictator to the secure one in the treasure chests swiss.

The suspects. To fan the flames some suspects there is the fact that the I confine some fake bond a given alarm from the U.S. Treasury happened a short time later to the U.S. banks, invited to a greater vigilance on the possible traffic of big quantitative of fake money. A famous warning after the arrival of indications of intelligence according to the what north Korea could try to go around the UN sanctions with an illegal series of initiatives. The men of Kim Jong-il, supports Washington, could want to carry in Europe money and fake titles to fund the construction of the atom bomb.

Not even on the nationality of two - that they men of business pretended themselves - there are certainties: in a first moment it is believed that the two be Japanese, but would have been treated in reality of Filipinos. The two were blocked from the Gdf to Chiasso while traveled in train from the Italy to the Switzerland. "Nothing to declare", had answered secure to the financiers to the moment of the customs inspection. But when their bagalgi were monitored with more caution in a double bottom of the suitcase are jumped out of the fake titles.

The bond were likely fakes made using software not even too much sophisticated for the elaboration of the images. The officials of the U.S. Treasury make note that the enormity of the sum of the bond confined indicates from alone that it is discussed of disguisings. Without to consider then that from the years '80 the bond emitted from the American Treasury I am dematerializzati and do not come more emitted in paper format. Indications that however did not contribute to shed light on the mystery that surrounds the event.

In valigia 134 miliardi di bond falsi: mistero sui due asiatici fermati a Chiasso

ROMA (22 giugno) - Resta fitto il mistero sui due asiatici beccati il 4 giugno scorso a Chiasso dalla Guardia di Finanza mentre cercavano di entrare in Svizzera con in valigia bond Usa falsi del valore di 134 miiardi di dollari (circa 100 miliardi di euro), più o meno il pil della Nuova Zelanda.

Il Tesoro statunitense non ha avuto dubbi: i titoli di credito Usa per un valore nominale di 134 miliardi di dollari - 249 bond delle Federal Reserve del valore di 500 milioni di dollari l'uno e dieci bond Kennedy del valore di un miliardo di dollari ciascuno - trovati in una valigia con doppiofondo sono falsi. «Si tratta chiaramente di un falso, non certo di un buon falso», ha detto all'agenzia Reuters Stephen Meyerhardt, portavoce dell'ufficio del debito pubblico al Tesoro Usa, dopo che la procura di Como, allertata dalle Fiamme gialle, aveva avviato una indagine.

Come una spy story. Ma il mistero sull'incredibile vicenda resta fitto e sono subito cominciate a circolare le teorie più disparate. Sono soldi di terroristi che dovevano servire per comprare armi di distruzioni di massa. Sono i giapponesi che vogliono liberarsi di dollari in segreto. Sono agenti di Kim Jong Il che vogliono portare i soldi del dittatore nordcoreano al sicuro nei forzieri svizzeri.

I sospetti. A soffiare sul fuoco dei sospetti c'è il fatto che il sequestro dei bond taroccati è avvenuto poco dopo un allarme dato dal Tesoro Usa alle banche americane, invitate a una maggiore vigilanza sulla possibile circolazione di grossi quantitativi di denaro falso. Un avvertimento lanciato dopo l'arrivo di indicazioni di intelligence secondo le quali la Corea del Nord potrebbe tentare di aggirare le sanzioni Onu con una serie di iniziative illegali. Gli uomini di Kim Jong Il, sostiene Washington, potrebbero cercare di portare in Europa denaro e titoli falsi per finanziare la costruzione dell'atomica.

Nemmeno sulla nazionalità dei due - che si fingevano uomini d'affari - ci sono certezze: in un primo momento si credeva che i due fossero giapponesi, ma si tratterebbe in realtà di filippini. I due sono stati bloccati dalla Gdf a Chiasso mentre viaggiavano in treno dall'Italia alla Svizzera. «Niente da dichiarare», avevano risposto sicuri ai finanzieri al momento del controllo doganale. Ma quando i loro bagalgi sono stati controllati con più attenzione in un doppiofondo della valigia sono saltati fuori i titoli falsi.

I bond sono stati probabilmente taroccati usando software neanche troppo sofisticati per la elaborazione delle immagini. I funzionari del Tesoro Usa hanno fatto notare che la enormità della somma dei bond sequestrati indica da sola che si tratta di contraffazioni. Senza considerare poi che dagli anni '80 i bond emessi dal Teroro statunitense sono dematerializzati e non vengono più emessi in formato cartaceo. Indicazioni che però non hanno contribuito a fare luce sul mistero che circonda la vicenda.

Something like this happened in the early 90s and was reported on short wave radio and was only barely mentioned by the MSM.

Or... "Merkin", as Lyndon Johnson used to say. At first, I that it was just his Texas dialect when he'd say, "Mah Fella Merkins". Then I came to realize he probably was calling us a bunch of pubic hair wigs.

Dang! 134 Billion flushed into our economy, in either real or FAKE dollars would surely have been our ticket out of this recession!

What? We’ve already tried that to the tune of TRILLIONS and it’s not working?

Silly me.
