#1 Think about it: These two guys were carrying the gross domestic product of New Zealand or enough for three Beijing Olympics. If economies were for sale, the men could buy Slovakia and Croatia and have plenty left over for Mongolia or Cambodia.

If?...

#2 Wow! That's almost as much money as General Motors burned through in the last six months!

#3 We'd more likely learn who shot Kennedy than the real story behind these bonds.

#5 It's just an Asian scam with fake bonds that bear issue dates of the 1930s.

Has happened before. Any assumptions that these papers could be real are simply ridiculous.

#6 "Blest paper credit! Last and best supply!
That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!
Gold imp'd by thee, can compass hardest things,
Can pocket States, can fetch and carry Kings,
A single leaf shall waft an Army o'er,
Or ship off Senates to a distant Shore,
A leaf, like Sibyl's, scatter to and fro
Our fates and fortunes, as the wind shall blow:
Pregnant with thousands flits the scrap unseen,
And silent sells a King or buys a Queen.

Alexander Pope
