Some other ppl have a different take on that over at market ticker.
But at this point it is hard to tell who is lying, and why they are lying,
but any way you slice it, it looks very bad.
2 men released along with "fake" bonds ???
So who knows at this point.
Except....and this is very telling....
I find it incomprehensible that the Italian government released these two if they were actually caught in a massive counterfeiting operation with $134
billion in fake US Securities.
I find it equally incomprehensible that there was not an immediate indictment out of a US Prosecutor coming from such an event and a demand for
extradition back to the United States.
And further, I find it equally incomprehensible that if the securities are in fact real, and Treasury is lying, that Italy would not impose the
fine.
Only the latter scenario, however, covers what apparently has happened - the two "couriers", whoever they are, have been released and, according to
some accounts, they took the allegedly "fake" instruments with them, and there has been no US indictment issued for counterfeiting the
instruments.
Uh, can we have some truth here folks, because none of what is being reported adds up and my BS detector is ringing off the hook.
==============================
I'll take this a step further and say that fallout from this in the not
too distant future is the likely trigger event for the predicted
banking holiday in 120 - 180 days.

Yes, I do not have hard proof, but my BS detector is sure going off.
Good Luck to you all !
