    Yeah at least you get a genuine looking paper certificate for your savings with this one, that you can hang on your wall, and tell the story to the grandchildren how gramps was cheated out of a billion dollars, which would be the equivalent of a soda then...

    Btw I wonder if this story was concocted to cover up the previous story, that may have been with real bonds?

    How exactly is it determined that a bond is genuine? This is determined by the Secret Service or agents of the Treasury? Both original and copies are just paper and ink. OK, maybe they use special ink and holographs and metal strips. But the North Koreans have shown that these paper certificates called bonds can be counterfeited by any government with the means. So who in his right mind would entrust his wealth to a government piece of paper that might be destroyed, copied or worse, declared a fake?

    This is why gold is the only sure and true store of wealth for nations and peoples.

    This is an important thread. I merged 4 related threads. I recall the start of this in 2009 when 2 Japanese tried to smuggle bearer bonds into Switzerland. I think this may tie into Harvey Organ's stories on Tropos (see at bottom of story), also.

    I don't know, and it doesn't matter. What matters is a lot of crap is coming out- a lot of it related to power sharing arrangements made before WWII. This global arrangement is unraveling.
