Italian Police Ask SEC to Authenticate Seized U.S. Treasuries

"The bonds, with a face value of more than $134 billion, are probably forgeries, Colonel Rodolfo Mecarelli of the Guardia di Finanza in Como, Italy, said today. " ...

"... Such high denominations would not have existed in 1934, the purported issue date of the notes, Mecarelli said. Moreover, the “Kennedy” classification of the bonds doesn’t appear to exist, he said. "

What I meant was our government knows they have the uranium and the capablility to make Nukes. We gave them the technology.

They have not acted on it to date because of the pacifism ingrained in their society after WW2.

I should have been more clear.

Thanks.

The German Handelsblatt just reported that at least a part of bonds are genuine.

Actually saw an image of a Kennedy bond. Was supposedly a legitimate bond. Had a big picture of JFK on the coupon.
