2 Japanese Men with $134 Billion in US Bonds Busted in Italy

Too bad they got caught! (Just kidding.)

Laundered money is the only thing that comes to mind. Money you wanted no electronic record of now that there are more rules even for the Swiss to follow.

This is not just your normal money laundering, this amount of money only suggests to me that it is real, for a fraudulent attempt of this sort would be surely seen right through. Only states, and large ones at that, could have bonds in these denominations. See:

$134 Billion In U.S. Bonds found on 2 Japanese trying to get into Switzerland (Video):http://newsusa.myfeedportal.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=346

This makes absolutely no sense, except to say something VERY dirty is going on here.

With a sum of that amount of money (130+BILLION ), the parties involved must have serious resources. That means Government, or Government working closely with a "front" company/representative.

Why smuggle in billions of bonds if they are legal ?
There is only one logical answer.

They did not want anyone to know what or how much money these people had. So, why hide such a vast amount of money ?
Well the clue here is that it is USD. United States Dollars. The old greenback has been taking a severe beating lately, both financially and politically. Seems that the parties don't want anyone to know what they plan to do with this vast amount of money.

That means that don't have any plans in mind that will benefit Americans. It can only be extrememly damaging, thus the mainstream media whore's blackout on this subject.

Further information is needed. But this is an unbelievably huge amount of money to be transported in such a fashion.

Hum, The Yakuza (ヤクザ or やくざ), also known as gokudō (極道) come to mind, maybe they made deal with the US and got some Bail out money due to the bad times that crime is facing or maybe they have been paid to take over NK.

I may be able to shed some light on this with a story i heard from an ex-Yakuza guy a few years ago. Parts of it I may have mis-remembered but the basis of the story is allegedly true. Apparently after the war the Japanese royal family got themselves in a bit of a bind. Officially they don't own any property but the reality is they own vast swathes all over Japan.

A core group of nationalist royalists after the war didn't want to hand it all over to the Allied forces and MacCarthur fearing the worst and the Americans, after finding out, turned a blind eye to it in order to retain the trust of these powerful people who held sway over a large segment of public opinion. Also it was not surprising given the l;andscape at the time, this being before the CIA managed to sideline the Japanese Communist Party in favour of the LDP who have held power virtually unbroken to this day. It should be noted that the Emperor does not even own a wallet or possess any cash whatsoever. If he walked out of his Palace, he'd be virtually homeless. Everything is provided for but NO CASH...! ...and no property. this was a condition by the Americans to prevent another rise of the monarchists.

So, as the story goes, a convoluted series of trusts and funds were established to keep hold of these assets and their incomes to be managed in exclusive secrecy by a small group of old money families who are also largely Yakuza enterprises. The problem started somewhere in the 60's when banking laws were reformed/introduced that forced the profits from accounts to be declared or enfolded to the auditors office or other bureaucracy if not claimed every seven years. I think most countries have some variation of this seven year law applying to accounts that go untouched.

The real crisis was that this money had ballooned into a huge holding given that much of what was then backwater Tokyo had become prime realty. No-one who was entitled to the money (aka the Royal Family) could touch it and no-on dared skim any for their own benefit. It would've been a death sentence from the Yakuza who are acknowledged as being a rightist/royalist cult at heart. To this day in Tokyo the Right-Wing (Uyoku) "sound trucks" roar around Tokyo in drab green with wire mesh on the windows blaring marching music over Tannoy speakers bolted on the roof. Remember also that some of the first Prime Ministers of Japan were plainly Yakuza. Read HERE for more. I digress.

The decision was taken in secret (naturally) to disperse the funds' income to sympathetic parties every seven years. This was called "trimming the whale". You won't find any reference to it on Google, don't bother. As far as I know this is the first written account of it. This disbursement is in the Billions of dollars but in recent times, banking regulations have become tougher and tougher. Forcing the Yakuza (who are not the brightest fish in the pond, it must be said) to try ever more contorted ways to clear the money. I think this case is what you are seeing.

There's another book's worth more to this story but the twist to it was, I was told this tale while sitting in the bar of the Prince Hotel in Shinagawa. My source told me that this very Prince hotel (and all the other Prince hotels in Japan) were part of this asset structure. I laughed a little in (near total) disbelief and then looked down into my glass to take a sip and right then saw on the paper coaster underneath the discreet and fine watermark imprint of the chrysanthenum flower. I looked up at him in shock and he was smiling knowingly at me. We both knew that no company ever uses that flower mark because it is the Imperial signature belonging only to the Royal Family.

If these were in fact genuine bonds I would suspect that this money belongs to a government, possibly the Japanese government, given the size of the seizure.  I would also suspect that these two men worked for the Japanese government.  Furthermore I would suspect that they were doing this for the Japanese government, which wanted the sale of these bonds to be private.  I don't think the Japanese government wants to go on record as selling U.S. bonds because it would depress the U.S. bond market and cause losses in their remaining holdings.  I'm sure they wanted these bonds to be quietly sold, over time, without making any waves on the bond market.    

While pundits are lauding the merit of American dollars on public forums, the real bondholders are secretly dumping US treausury bonds like used toiletpaper ...

GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN !! THE SKY IS FALLING !!

TARP MONEY???? Stimulus check???

What really matters in this story is to keep on digging further....! I mean, this piece of news is presented to the public as if 2 guys crossed the border with some petty cash and are being questionned over where did they get the moany. We are talking of 134 BILLION DOLLARS !!!! Not half a mil, 134 BILLIONS....!!!!

Who has 134 billions ????????? And the press is saying the customs are quesitonning ???? Thank god they caught them...

So, since it is not by way of luck that they got arrested, it is a tip off. If so, imiagine one second that the mafiaS, as a whole, agree with the italian government a payment of 50 billion against a drop on all pending charges AND a clean bill of health on the balance of the monies.... The mafias contract a couple friends far far a field (on the Yakuza's payroll) and themselves tip off the customs... so that everyone is clear and italy get to survive thru the crisis and Berlusconi appears THE saviour for decades to come....!

I know it sounds TOO BIG, but think about it....it might not be that big !

Why every US news media deliberately silent on this concerning US issued secutiries?! Is this Bush and Cheiney's loot or US Republican party loot? 

Here every common readers from USA need to urge own local medias to report it in the USA!!!!
