This is an astounding amount of money. Very few people have this kind of liquidity. It should be fairly easy to figure out who owns the dough. I’ll bet the 2 Japanese (if they really are Japanese) are just the legs on this deal. Wow! Very strange.
Indeed, past 100 billion I can only see the holder being another nation. Why take such risk with 100+ billion? Why not just hire Blackwater or Brinks or some other group to transport it? The fee would be minuscule.
For perspective, this is about twice the net worth of Bill Gates, and more than the amount of dollar-denominated foreign reserves held by Russia.
If these are not forgeries, this is potentially the financial story of the decade.

It makes me wonder if they aren’t Japanese nationals working for North Korea? North Korea has been guilty of kidnapping Japanese nationals in the past. Maybe they are disposable enough?
All I know is that only a nation could have that much. It makes me wonder if they are forgeries.
