What a fascinating story. Very mysterious...
> The Financial Times also reported that the two suspects "had been released" by Italian authorities.
I guess they helped direct the police to the actual counterfeiters.
> An earlier billion-dollar bond case was recorded in 2002, when the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, located in Chicago, heard a case from two men who sought $100 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
So two guys tried to bring a fake bearer bond worth $100B and tried to cash it out? That's hilarious. It also sounds like they didn't even get in trouble.
