$4 Trillion In "Fake" Euro Bonds Seized At Vatican Bank
In 2009, two Japanese individuals were arrested trying to smuggle $134 billion in US bonds into Switzerland from Italy. In 2012, Italian authorities seized $6 trillion in allegedly fake US bonds from safe-deposit boxes in Zurich (which were purportedly to be used to buy plutonium from Nigerian sources). And now, in 2014, The BBC reports, Italian police have arrested two men who were allegedly trying to deposit trillions of euros in fake bonds in the Vatican bank.
Italian police have arrested two men who were allegedly trying to deposit trillions of euros in fake bonds in the Vatican bank.
Officials say the pair, an American and a Dutch national, claimed they had an appointment with bank officials to gain entry but were handed over to police.
Fake bonds with a face value of 3tr euros ($4.1tr; £2.5tr) were found in their briefcase, the officials say.
...
The bank - officially called the Institute for the Works of Religion - runs thousands of private accounts held by cardinals, bishops and religious orders all over the world.
The two suspects were later released pending further investigation, Financial Guard police officer Davide Cardia told AP news agency, as Italian law does not require arrest for fraud investigations.
Financial Guard police Lt. Col. Davide Cardia said the would-be swindlers, who were wearing business suits, tried to convince Swiss Guards at a Vatican City gate earlier this month that "cardinals were expecting them."
Cardia said the fake documents purported to be bond certificates for non-Italian companies. "The sum -- worth some 3 trillion euros (more than $4 trillion dollars) -- is impressive, even though it's only symbolic because we're talking about false" certificates, said Cardia, in charge of the financial police's operations in Rome and surrounding area.
Investigators suspect the men might have planned to use the fake bonds as security to open a hefty line of credit through the Vatican bank.
But this is not the first time,
Both suspects, whose names weren't released by police, had been previously investigated for attempted fraud in Asian countries, Cardia said without elaborating.
With trillion of freshly minted dollars, yen, euros, and yuan floating around the world (and all the subsequent monetized debt); and in light of increasing capital controls in a desperate world, who knows with any of these "frauds." Just the sheer scale of trying to pull of a trillion dollar fraud would be incredible were it not for the Central Banks numbing us to the new normal.

Perhaps Bernanke and Greenspan arn't retired?
Another few QEs and such deposits will be no biggie...
What, no tip of the hat for HRC? I commented on this more than 24 hours ago in ZH comments section...
Who gets to decide what is a fake security any way?

damn, ZH...... this story got buried fast....
I have tried to deposit a couple of my $100 trillion Zimbabwe bank notes at TBTF/TBTJ banks, with no success.
Don Johnson?
I think that all U.S. government bonds are fake.
have many kinds of stupid are these guys
I mean really...print up $10M in fake bonds, not $4 trillion
Bond is bond, fake or real.
If I had not read this here and someone told me "The bank - officially called the Institute for the Works of Religion" I'd have said "get the fuck out".
If the police catch you with a few thousand in fake bonds you have a problem. If they catch you with a few trillion in fake bonds they have a problem.
Question: Do you make counterfeit $3 bills? No. Why? Because you know they're non-negotiable. Now, someone coming in with bonds in such high denominations-- these could be actual fakes, but based on some actual very large value bonds. Of course, it could be that these are actual high value bonds, but were "confiscated" for the benefit of some other party. Perhaps this is all groups "sending messages" to one another. You watch, those trying to deposit the bonds will end up walking, no jail no nothing. Can you imagine what would happen to you or I if we tried such a thing?
If successful, this could've been the Black Swan event that takes out the Bond market, and collapsed the whole fiat Ponzi.
Oh, so close, so close. Darn.
In any case, I note that the CBs have friends in higher places than the Church, which is ALLEGEDLY against Usury. Once again the guys following a warrior god (Moses's Elohim/Yahweh) beat the guys following his Hippie Son (JC). Wolves are still beating and eating the Sheep.

Wow.. pretty tight security.. I’m impressed.
Each time I deposit a few trillion in fake bonds at my bank here, they don’t even bat an eyelash.
Yeah, there's a lot more to this story. 4 TRILLION? Who tries to steal 4 trillion? Think they might check a few references? Only governments try to steal 4 trillion. Did Obama convince the vatican to seize 4 trillion from another government? My conspiracy theory of the day.....
Didn't O-Bama recently visit the Vatican? Coincident?
These two excerpts feel like the writer is hiding the truth in plain sight:
"would-be swindlers, who were wearing business suits, tried to convince Swiss Guards at a Vatican City gate earlier this month that "cardinals were expecting them."
Were cardinals actually expecting them?
"Investigators suspect the men might have planned to use the fake bonds as security to open a hefty line of credit through the Vatican bank."
Who with 4 TRILLION needs a line of credit? 4 trillion means you issue credit.

The timing of this is interesting. Perhaps the "would-be swindlers, who were wearing business suits" drove to the Vatican after arriving on Air Force One?

And did these two guys look like Timmay and Larry Summers by any chance??
Do you think these guys kind a pushed it a little too far? It's like pulling out a ten foot dick; questions will be asked.
I like your question-who could have been that stupid? Perhaps someone who thought it was already a done deal? Someone who thought it might go "unnoticed?"
So whens the false flag to cover the fraud...that these bonds were going to short term paper over? With some leverage, a couple of trillion should have kept the doors open for a couple months. Notice how they were "released"?
Will they have a trillions missing speech first, like that lizard D Rumsfeld gave Sept 10,2001?

It is rumored that these bonds / transactions are somehow related to what is called "The Black Eagle Fund". An incredible tale that connects a lot of dots.

I've followed this story too. It's absoutely incredible, and almost unbelievable, but actually really makes a lot of sense and explains a lot about why the world is the way it is today.
I don't know if Neil Keenan is a lunatic, a con man, or legit, but if it's true it's a better story than any book you'll ever read.
Checkout here for the "beginning" of the story:

Uh huh... And there's also the Intergalactic Council looking out for us, and Yamashita's gold at the end of the rainbow...
That lawsuit is very interesting reading and certainly "fits" as to why things don't seem to work in the way one would expect them to. It shows the interplay between corruption and rules - influence peddling - among other things. Might be worth a second reading ;). Leaves out a lot too, so plenty of room to build stories.
Why are they being arrested ? Is there a difference between fake Euro bonds and real Euro bonds ?
not one damn bit of difference.
Except that there are likely trillions in official fake Euro bonds sitting as reserves on the Fed's (dark) books.
Whole thing feels fishy to me, like the story is laying some foundation for a "successful" bond fraud scheme that becomes the fake cause for a meltdown.
Fake euro bonds are probably not recognized by the ECB since the bond numbers don't add up.
Printing up currency is all fine and dandy if the central banks and reserves do it but if anyone else takes a crack at it they better believe they're going to get thrown behind bars, or get hired to pull this stuff legally ofcourse.
"catch me if you can"
They wanted to deposit zillions but decided they shouldn't draw attention to themselves
I see I'm not the only one having trouble getting this story passed the smell test.
Yeah, like two lone daredevils are gonna get away with 4 trirrion of bond fraud. It took Obie and Benny almost an entire term to get those kinds of results.
"The € quadrillion denominated bearer bonds would have drawn too much scrutiny, they feared."
As they say in Italy, STUGOTS!!
The two suspects were later released pending further investigation
"$4 Trillion in bond fraud and you get released. Something doesnt smell right here Penny."
"No Uncle Gadget, it doesnt."
Government sanctioned Fraud. Hey they have to give it a shot. Never know til you've tried it.
The boyz were simply delivering their weekly tithe... cops got em all wrong. Since a tithe is about 1/10th of their income they must be in a lucrative biz?
they should have used a couple of trillion to bribe the guards.
I must be very naive. Why does the Vatican need its own bank?
You need to brush up on your Vatican history. I suggest starting with the 1400s, a story of an organization that receives large amounts of 'charitable donations' annually, getting paid for every baptism, marriage, funeral, large land owner, more powerful than most sovereign nations of the time...
The Catholic Church has an un"god"ly amount of money, and the only way to keep that secret is to.....keep it secret.
Japanese Rochschilds? You are laughable.
How about simple criminal corruption, no matter what race or family?
I was unaware Bernanke & Greenspan were in Italy
we got some of them in good ole usa. derivatives, i believe they're called...700T Worth
We'll have none of your potpourri here sir!
How many trillions are not 'stopped'?
The fake bonds were just as real as the Monopoly money coming from the fed.
Counterfeiting without a license? Unforgivable! You gotta be in the special club!
Counterfeiting is only cool WHEN WE DO IT, GOT IT?
And obviously not all these frauds get caught. These guys were amatuers, but others have doubtless been successful, although probably working with less absurdly supicious amounts.
Printing all this fake money leads to inflation and clearly is a crime against the people.
this is one way to lower outstanding soverign debt, just sieze it as counterfit.
The next JPM untimely end

Whaddya mean "FAKE"?
Aren't they ALL fake? Fake, as in "fiat debt?
The pair were released as Italian law does not require arrest for fraud investigations.
The CIA has left town using counterfeit passports and will try somewhere else to launder their Fast and Furious and drug money.
I wanna try this.
Smaller scale, sure, but walk into Wells Fargo, JPM or my local Catholic church and see if I can pass a few billion in counterfeit bonds.
Might work....
4 trillion....sounds reasonable....I wonder do you get a free toaster with that kind of deposit

The cojones on these two! Trillions, I mean If they tried millions they might have gotten away with it.
No, that was their problem- thinking too small- Quadrillions, they would have gotten away with it.....
If you're going to play it might as well be 'The Big Con'.
Didnt Daddy O just visit the pope? He must have left his attache case filled with EU bonds that he traded for worthless US bonds.
No i bet the Pope did not like the Obama seeds...so Obama sent this as a backup gift...
Italian law does not require arrest for fraud investigations
I think that sums it up - fraud is such a commonplace activity that arrests are not required.
Fraud is the New Normal - everyone's doing it - honesty is for suckers - law is for suckers.
Bunga Bunga - Let's party!
I see a movie! Call Brad Pitt stat!
Boy, these guys go big don't they? They knew they would not be held so why not go for the gusto. Would love to see the bonds.
All is fake! If it is not golden, heavy and nice to hold, don't even bother.
All is a bloody fake, the money, the politicians, the banks and the state.

but niger can't plutonium, etc.....
(which were purportedly to be used to buy plutonium from Nigerian sources)
That's really the money I was promised from a Nigerian prince. I have an e-mail proving this. All I need to do is send my SS# and bank account number along with $2,000 and I will be sent millions....
And you can buy physical gold for under $1300oz and physical silver under $20oz spot.
Who'd have thunk.
Note to counterfeiters: $3-$6 trillion might be too large of a scam for a non-sovereign to try and pull off successfully. Just sayin'.
Nonetheless, The ECB may very well have accepted these things as collateral...
I'll have a pack of gum and here's $4 trillion.... [Counterfeit]

It's the new world order doing it. They're trying to dilute the currency, crash our economy, and bring on a one world government. Buy gold. Black helicopters. Coffins outside of Dallas. FEMA bonds. WE FOUND MORE CORRUPTION!
I am always entertained when people throw out the words "grassy knoll" to discredit an idea as outlandish. And meanwhile, its highly HIGHLY likely JFK was indeed shot by gunmen standing behind a fence, on the grassy knoll...
Disinformation, deception, secrets hidden in plain sight. The tools of the trade.
The problem with that is his brains and blood did not poof out on Mrs Kennedy as you would expect from a grassy knoll hit. Furthermore, there would be a high risk of hitting bystanders or Mrs Kennedy with a punch-through or miss. Most likely he was shot by Oswald. A certain former Romainian DIE boss who defected has some interesting things to say about what really happened behind the scenes but ultimately leaves it to you to decide what happened.
Either the CIA or the KGB killed Kennedy. Why else would the records be sealed for 75 years? Get the book, Disinformation. Very interesting to read and on topic as it has a lot of information about how the Catholic Church and KGB are related.
I'm confused?
Is there a wholesale coffin seller, outside Dallas?
This wasn't a cold call. Someone wanted these.
Here's a good read from the past about the murderous rot at the Vatican.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God%27s_Name
Vatican should get some of the stolen shit throughout the centuries from their basement(s) and put it on sale if they are short on donations.
I suspect it is possible they were not fake and some Russian just got assraped out of his money. It takes bigballs to deposit 4 trillion dollars worth of fake into a bank, unless it is not fake. And why were these guys let go?
What % of global financial assets are "real" ?
(not - "what % are hard assets" - but what % of financial assets are legitimate - with good title and not owned by multiple people - or not just outight counterfeit like in this case)
is it 1%? 5%? 20% 50% 80% ????
please inform - thank you !!
I guess you can buy your way into heaven....this proves it
buy your way into heaven...
Actually, it's the pope, who as vicar of Peter controls the keys to the treasury of merit. All a good catholic can do is throw wealth in the pool of indulgence that may include reducing time in temporary hell of some "deserving" already deceased believer. This remains a chief point of departure between "Catholic", (universal), Christianity and "Protestant" or traditional reformation based Christianity.
The pope can however condemn an individual to eternal punishment the likes of which even God can't overturn. That was Luther's fate.
As Ripley would've said, "Believe it or Not".
These are just as 'real' as the other collateral being used in Europe to tap funding from the ECB and the US Federal Reserve... better check that collateral Mr. Yellen...
We only have the Vatican Bank's word for it that they were fake. They, or any bank for that matter, do not have the best reputation for being truthful.
What a great way for a less than reputable bank to get something massive for free and reduce market liquidity by $3 trillion at the same time.
But will the real owners of the $3 trillion step up? My guess is that this will be worked out outside of the public perview.
It is also possible that the money was to be used to destabilize a variety of currencies and to push the world toward one centrally controlled monetary system.
Who would be a better accomplice than the Vatican Bank?
All bonds are fake anyhow.
Nice, add a little Counterfitting to the Sex and Drugs Scandals.... Good for business.
Momma's don't let you babies grow up to be altar boys.
Turn your trash into cash, Federal Reserve counterfitting scheme most likely. That toxic sludge which is their books no one is allowed to audit must be a reason for that. Looks like a laundry washing scheme to recycle junk on their books through the Vatican and Brussels (either the ECB or IMF as the other intermediary) to finance debt using that secret balance sheet to buy debt to keep QE going while they are tapering.
Either these two are complete crazy amateurs or the story doesn't add up. Who in their right mind tries to rob god??? No wonder you get caught...
/sarc
PS: I'm going to pull this one off. Wear better suit and a fake Rolex.
They weren't tryin to rob God.
They were doing the work of the lord, "going forth and hypothecating" (formerly known as, multiplying).
finally we know where the collateral for gold shorts is
Mhhhm, lets see:
Fake bonds at a fake bank backed by a fake religion that belongs to a fake god. Sounds about right to me.
Perhaps I am the only one confused as to what the problem is - whether or not Fascist-finance prints "bonds" or Mother Mary, they are all fake!
Isn't this like arguing about the prettiest horse at the glue factory?
And they were arrested on.......3.11
Who remembers the Italian bonds of 2009?

Who here remembers when a trillion was considered to be quite
a lot?
A million really ain't what it used to be, a billion gets tossed around like pocket change, and even a trillion is considered a trifle nowadays.....
There appears to be a lot more fiat outside the system than inside the system, or else some distinct 2nd system of global liquidity and valuations that is out of public gaze.
Why would there be multiple occurrences of various characters being caught in Italy and Switzerland with such huge denominations that would always cause suspicion in any normal financial institution? Or in other words why would anybody go to the bother of faking such massive denominations of bonds/instruments unless they were real?
Thought april 1st is tomorrow...
Who even believes ANYONE would take billions, let alone trillions, of dollars worth of fake bonds anywhere for some type of SCAM? Criminals are not this stupid. Something very strange about these type of stories.
Imo Joseph Farrell has some interesting thoughts regarding "fake" bearer bonds. The following is from his book "Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations" from Adventures Unlimited Press.
In summary:
One does not counterfeit what does not exist.
Or to put that point even more subtly:
One does not counterfeit something that the very wealthy do not suspect exists, or know to exist.

The Bearer Bond Scandals
General Comment
At the outset of our exploration of the “bearer bonds scandals,” and their vast implications, it is important to bear a few principles in mind.
Suppose, for a moment, that someone is the member of a ring of counterfeiters intent— as all counterfeiters are— at making money by using counterfeit bills to buy a small item, and to receive “real” money in change. The technique is simple: the group has counterfeited a small quantity of twenty, fifty, or one hundred dollar bills, and has then used those bills to make small purchases, and receiving change from the cashier. Thus do counterfeiters make money.
This short overview contains within it the three essential methodological assumptions of any counterfeiting scheme:
1) One does not counterfeit something that does not currently exist as a medium of exchange, or that is not convertible into it. For example, it would be pointless to go to all the effort to produce a three dollar bill, for while they were once briefly issued by the Republic of Texas for the brief period of its existence, they are not now legal currency. Similarly one would not produce a four pound bill, or a seven yen bill, for such denominations of currency do not exist. One only counterfeits, or mimics, something real.
2) Similarly, one does not counterfeit five hundred, one thousand, five thousand, or ten thousand dollar bills, for while such denominations are genuine and were in circulation, two reasons would preclude the typical counterfeiting ring from making counterfeits of such large denominations. First, since the whole point of counterfeiting is to gain real currency in change for a transaction in which a counterfeit bill is tendered, normal transactions would preclude the use of large denominations for that reason, and additionally, the general use of such large denominations is not widespread and would attract attention. Large denominations are legal tender and have been circulated, but they are not generally circulated. Their use would draw suspicion. Secondly, large denominations would lie outside the normal affluence of the target group. One would not tender a five hundred dollar bill to purchase a roast and a few vegetables, and expect to get change easily. One only counterfeits what one can reasonably expect to tender in a transaction to a target group, and thus must tailor its counterfeit function to the target’s scale of affluence, and do so without raising suspicion.
3) It follows from the two previous considerations that one must produce a “product” that is of sufficient quality to pass the scrutiny of the target group. One does not go to the expense and effort of producing a fraudulent product that cannot be used because it
a) does not exist, or
b) is too large a denomination to be traded with the target group, or
c) is too poor in quality to be traded. To state the point differently, quality must be sufficiently high to ensure “first sight” acceptance of its authenticity by the target, even though it is not authentic.
b. Special Considerations of Industrial Scale Counterfeiting
The situation changes somewhat when the context is “industrial scale” counterfeiting, as was seen in the previous chapter, for problems of distribution arise that a typical counterfeiting operation does not encounter. Additionally, the situation changes if the target group is to be the very wealthy. In this instance, instruments of very large denominations, usually securities— stocks, bonds, and so on— become the favored vehicle. But a problem arises. The very wealthy will be much more cautious about parting with their (authentic) money, and the higher the denominated value of the counterfeited instrument, the more cautious the target group is likely to be. Additionally, a wealthy target group is likely to be privy to the existence of instruments most ordinary people do not even know exist, and are also able to call upon private intelligence resources to verify information. Nonetheless, the principles remain the same: one does not counterfeit what does not exist, and every effort must be made to present the “product” in as genuine a way as possible. There is, however, at this juncture an important additional consideration: since in this case one is counterfeiting much larger denominated instruments, one can only do so by dint of a similar access to information about various securities that is not generally available to the wider public. Trade in instruments of ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred million dollars, or half a billion or a billion dollars, occurs at a rarefied level accessible only to a very few, and hence, any counterfeiting done at this level must likewise have access to information about that trade and the instruments traded. But the principle remains:
One does not counterfeit what does not exist.
Or to put that point even more subtly:
One does not counterfeit something that the very wealthy do not suspect exists, or know to exist.
With these thoughts in mind, we may now examine the first of the Bearer Bonds Scandals.

$4 trillion. What's the size of the Fed's balance sheet?
Uh, never mind.
Nobody is buying plutonium from Nigerian sources.
Uranium maybe, yellow cake.
Unless it's counterfeit plutonium.
The only real bond that is real is the slavery bond of citizen to government
Since nobody else has said it, WTF! Trillions of dollars? Really?
"Italian law does not require arrest for fraud cases". No need to ask why their economy is in a shit state. They could easily have gotten 10% loan on that collateral and walked off billionaires that afternoon. It's surreal and comical.
I see a pattern here. There must be a shed load of these bonds in bank vaults acting as collateral for billions of dollars which have gone walkabout. Next bank scandal headline to come: "Quadrillions of dollars in bonds kept by banks are fake".
you can't conterfiet what doesn't exist.... naw, sorry, i'm more inclined to think they are real and the money that is expected to honor them is fake ... hence the busts. i'll wait on fulford to chime in on this- he's a couple of days late as it is.
I like your theory better than my observation.
They are fake wink wink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWedkk3K2Q4
If they're arresting people for creating fake money backed by nothing, why haven't they arrested all the world's central bankers? They're the biggest counterfeiters.

And isn't the real story the story of why these counterfit bonds just dropped out of the headlines?
Whatever happened to that 134 billion in bonds? Who was repsonsible? What were they up to?
That's the story.
•?•
V-V
This tale keeps popping up its head because the world continues to produce idiots.
These bonds are like any of the the Nigerian 419 Scams, though this one originated in the Philippines in the early 1980s. Most everyone in the world is already aware of it, but occasionally some clowns think they are the first ones to hear and that they might be able to fool somebody.
They should have tried Countrywide around 2005 or maybe Joe Casano's group at AIG.
Little new here, but the suggestion that the bonds are genuine But used to hold up The busted banks is appealing. In any case, this has been the game since central banks started running money. I worry more about the frontrunning in equities. Is anything real anymore? Our banks frontrunning? Shocking,not.
............a bernaker Stealth Helicopter perhaps?
