ROME - Italian authorities say they have arrested two Japanese men who allegedly tried to bring $134 billion worth of undeclared U.S. bonds into Switzerland.
Anti-fraud police in Como, near the Swiss border, said Monday the men hid the bonds in the bottom of a suitcase. They were caught in Chiasso's train station June 3 after an inspection.
Police said the two suspects were carrying a total of 259 bonds, including 10 with a value of $1 billion each and 249 with a value of $500 million.

But the question in the world of conspiracy theroy is Are the bonds real How did they get them
Why do these counterfeit/bond theft/currency heists always involve the US? Am I missing the stories that involve other countries' currencies or is the US particularly aimed at? I'd like to hear how this investigation unfolds....
