Firstly, I think it was about a week ago, that Japan said to the international media, that they would back the US dollar all the way! No problem, a little risky since they’ve really only climbed out of their 1990 recession, but that sounds fine to me.
Now, if you were to smuggle counterfeit money or bonds out of one country, to sell them in another, you would do it in a series of trips and with a reasonable monetary figure so as not to attract attention, right???
Well get a load of this!!!!

Now, there’s no way anyone outside a sanitarium, would ever believe that the Swiss wouldn’t check up on such an obscene amount of money.
The obvious conspiracy issue here is; there is no way either the US or Japan would ever fess-up to off-loading so much currency, if it were in-fact true, so the only comment we’ll ever hear would be that it was simply counterfeit. :whistle: If the Japanese did try it - it would spell disaster for US-Japan relations, and if the US said it was true, it might (would probably) collapse all future treasury bond purchases, not to mention the US bond fire-sale!
In this climate, for me, I reckon it’s a 50/50 bet either way. Awesome timing though!!!
Cheers
