Just heard that today, that they were fake. Something real fishy about this, as TM mentioned. This large of a bond would bound to be checked out far closer than a smaller one. EXCEPT, if it was counterfeited by our own govt. If caught, we can claim it was counterfeited. Show the original. BUT, if not caught, deposit the counterfeit,then, destroy the original. Bingo, just moved 134 million and somebody got away with it. gypsyman
