Here's a very weak update (via Bloomberg, in English) to the story of these maybe/maybe not Japanese men busted smuggling $134 Billion in US bonds from Italy into Switzerland.
From the article:
"The Asahi newspaper reported today Italian police found bond certificates concealed in the bottom of luggage the two individuals were carrying on a train that stopped in Chiasso, near the Swiss border, on June 3.
The undeclared bonds included 249 certificates worth $500 million each, the Asahi said, citing Italian authorities. The case was reported earlier in Italian newspapers Il Giornale and La Repubblica and by the Ansa news agency. "
Counterfeit? Real? Japanese nationals?
Who knows!
Whatever the real story behind this ultimately is, it could certainly have some far reaching implications.
