So, the Fed admits they hold more debt than China. Something just doesn’t add up; The US has 14 trillion of debt. According to this link -

A lot of government debt is held by domestic bondholders, for example guys like Bill Gross, the CEO of PIMCO.

When the government eventually defaults on their obligations, these fools are going to lose more wealth than anyone in the history of mankind. It's going to make the credit default swap collapse look like a day on the beach.
