Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollar each.

It might be interesting because the mainstream media has yet to report anything on the story, which means either a) the biggest smuggling bust in the history of ever isn't as sensational as a tit for tat between the G.I.L.F. and David Letterman; or b) it doesn't neatly fit the mainstream narrative.
