The whole thing is almost too unbelievable as reported. This causes me to look in other areas for a possible desired outcome. In other words, we shouldn't be focusing on the mere fact that somebody was caught with so much money. The amount involved could certainly have afforded the owner a better and more professional transport method. I have to think that as unprofessionally as this whole thing is boiling down, that it was possibly planned this way and that there's an ulterior motive. But as before...what that might be I have no idea. ;-)

Total fakes. See Fed NY website for info. See about halfway down Discovered 1930s Notes and Bonds http://www.newyorkfed.org/banking/frscams.html. The bonds in the picture even look like Sample fraud 5.
