That story appeared in the wierd news thread recently, with a different source, but Slang's link gives more analysis.
Who the hell has $134 billion to smuggle? Even Bill Gates doesn't have that much. A government? Then why didn't they use a diplomatic bag, and go risk free? A corporation? who the hell has that kind of moolah? And why are they moving it? Tax evasion? Crime proceeds? Hiding assets before the bankruptcy case? Or are the bonds forgeries? If passable fakes in the billion dollar range are circulating, goodbye confidence in the dollar. Even if they are real, the idea that huge sums are sloshing about undeclared to regulators undermines confidence.

If they are forgeries they may be a big problem for the US. If they are not forgeries they may be a big problem for the US.
Why do we not know more about this case? Are the details previously reported accurate? Are there no reporters or investigators available to follow up on the report? |

I putting Bruce as #1. Not because I have anything against him politically. I just want to steal his women. BTW, for Cheney, Kirk, and many of the dispossessed Republicans, it all about the schadenfreude.
