$6 Trillion???
Really now, $6 billion I could understand, but $6 trillion? What's the point? Especially with bonds dated from 1934...
To: green iguana
WTF!
With our monetary policy being what it is, are we that sure they are fake?
To: green iguana
Does Obama still get to keep the money to fund his $6 trillion deficit?

Is this a rerun? I thought this happened about two years ago.

It did, but not that high - below $100 billion IIRC.
To: green iguana
I know inflation is out of control but that is ridiculous. You’d think they would be satisfied with another 100 billion.

These bonds could be the real deal, and the money WE are currently using is fake.

Let's put this particular fraud FOR $6,000,000,000,000.00 into perspective ~ those on this thread who know of Rossi can tell you that if you really believe fraud consists of nothing more than a demonstration of a process with which you disagree, $6 TRILLION has got to be the real thing!
Just a lesson guys ~ there's "thought fraud" and "real fraud", and "real fraud" gets the full attention of the Italian carabinieri AND the Swiss authorities. You'll notice they didn't just pass notes to each other about this one ~ they sent armed men with the authority to shoot babies if need be!

To: mo
I remember that! The speculation was such large sums could be used to influence the markets one way or the other.
$6 trillion would be a perfect amount to engineer a collapse.

From your link:
This is still a story with far more questions than answers. Its odd, though, that its not garnering more media attention. Interest is likely to grow. The last thing Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke need right now is tens of billions more of U.S. bonds -- or even high-quality fake ones -- suddenly popping up around the globe.

By coincidence that is almost exactly the amount of debt Obama has written since being sworn in. So I suppose he thinks it’s no big deal.
