I'm still betting on real bonds... If the story at the top of the thread is true, you win your bet."
That can be the only plausible explanation - they were real bonds that some HUGE bond-holding nation was unloading legally (but off the open market), therefore no actual crime was committed.

I don't know what Italian or Swiss laws are on transporting cash equivalents, but either into or out of the US you are required [This report is required by 31 U.S.C. 5316 and Treasury Department regulations (31 CFR 103).] to report it if you are carrying more than $10,000. That's a lot less than $134 billion.
