Read this story. These are single bonds worth $1 billion and $.5 Billion each. This is action by some state, not just some private person. This is the sort of thing that happens right before wars break out.

"It would be terrible news for the White House. Other than the U.S., China or Japan, no other nation could theoretically move those amounts. In the absence of clear explanations coming from the Treasury, conspiracy theories are filling the void. "

I hope this ends up putting Geithner's ass on the block. The GOP should be crawling all over this story, jumping up and down, and screaming from rooftops.

This is so scary that no one in Washington would want to mention it, even in a whisper. It comes to close to making real the end of the American economy... which is what would happen if no one wanted to buy our debt except at outrageous interest rates.

Has anyone yet seen any definitive info on whether the bonds were real, where they came from, etc., etc.???

War? Does Japan know something? Is it connected with those idiots in N. Korea? Any clues yet?

I have heard very minimal reports on the radio that the bonds were forgeries, and that it was mafia related. But no word of who it was that said they were forgeries, or how they were made, or how it was related to mafia, and if it was Japanese mafia. The story has otherwise dropped off the radar. If there were any journalists left in the world...

Treasury says they're complete forgeries. Pictures of the space shuttle with a 1930's date on them. BUT no one from the Treasury has examined them personally. Only facsimiles.

If someone counterfeits a $1.34 million in $100 bills we prosecute him. We have an extradition treaty with Italy. Why are we nor trying to prosecute a crime 100,000 times greater in magnitude? Obama is out to lunch.

Maybe he's taking Michelle on a romantic trip to a wild animal sanctuary in Kenya... Hell, why not? It's his free four year vacation!

"Pictures of the space shuttle with a 1930's date on them."

Another appalling evidence of the inadequacy of the school systems. We are bringing up a new generation too illiterate to even be crooks.

lol, Jay.

Another interesting bit about this I heard of Fox News was that one of the arrested "Japanese" nationals had a very Korean sounding name on his passport.

I thought the North Koreans were better forgers than that...

My understanding has been that most of the forged US currency has originated in N. Korea...

...maybe we should airlift a few hundred billion in quality forgeries of North Korean currency, and drop it around the Korean countryside.

: )
