Reading some of these threads on the “Italian/Japanese” bonds, I realize how the Nigerian scams work. So many people are so gullible and conspiracy minded they will believe any story.

The president has destroyed the value of the American dollar and the Japanese and other nations of the world know it.

"One-quarter of a TRILLION in bonds and this is the first I am hearing about this?"The mainstream media has not even touched this story. Glenn Beck has been talking about it and trying to investigate it for at least two weeks. He keeps getting different stories from the authorities.

The president has destroyed the value of the American dollar and the Japanese and other nations of the world know it. The value of the dollar has been distroyed by the Federal Reserve and their global bankster cronies. Prices have not gone up since 1913 the value of those pieces of paper with symbols and numbers on them have gone down. Smoke and mirrors a steak is still a steak (albeit full of hormones and antibiotics).
Inflation happens to tires - devaluation is what happens to currencies

The last I heard the Treasury claimed they were obviously fake — they said they never issued bonds in those amounts. I think that was just a few days ago.
It’s a true-to-life suspense thriller...

Do a search of the keywords.

So many people are so gullible and conspiracy minded they will believe any story. Like we're from the US Government and assure you these are fakes?
To: Beaten Valve
I still find the issuing of $1B bonds that long ago somewhat suspect but who knows.

What right did the Italian govt have to seize them, then? They should perhaps give them BACK.
To: Beaten Valve
It highly unreasonable to suppose that a forger would reproduce a State Treasury not commonly in circulation and of which there is no public knowledge. For this reason, it can be concluded that the 124.5 billion dollars divided in 249 bonds of 500 million each are authentic. These titles, although referred to as "Federal Reserve Notes" are actually bonds, because they accrue interest and are redeemable at maturity.
Interesting explanation.
These bonds/notes are involved in a criminal investigation, so it is unlikely that the original purchaser would demand their return (although the Treasury knows who bought them). If the government declares valid bonds/notes to be forgeries doesn't the Treasury just pocket the $124 billion with no need to ever repay it?
