That story appeared in the wierd news thread recently, with a different source, but Slang's link gives more analysis.
Who the hell has $134 billion to smuggle? Even Bill Gates doesn't have that much. A government? Then why didn't they use a diplomatic bag, and go risk free? A corporation? who the hell has that kind of moolah? And why are they moving it? Tax evasion? Crime proceeds? Hiding assets before the bankruptcy case?
Or are the bonds forgeries? If passable fakes in the billion dollar range are circulating, goodbye confidence in the dollar. Even if they are real, the idea that huge sums are sloshing about undeclared to regulators undermines confidence.
