Get your own $500,000,000 Federal Reserve Bond!

On Ebay. Actually, the bidding is closed. The winning bid was less than $9.99. If you ask nicely, the seller (who is in Australia) will probably sell you more. These are the same 1934 bonds that figured in the Italian case.

The copies of the 'bonds' I've seen online are so obviously fakes as to be laughable.

Images of the 'bonds' show them to be laughable, obvious fakes.

But the birth certificate is so clearly genuine.

Guess you folks know more than the Italian financial police. Took them more than 2 weeks to verify. Wonder exactly what they were verifying? Or is that "negotiating"?

Interesting that we learned from the Treasury that there are about $100 billion more in outstanding bearer bonds than we had been told. Wonder where those are?

My question is, why would anyone want to dump the dollar in a huge private transaction? The dollar is so clearly genuine, so clearly strong. The whole story is so clearly nonsense.
