This is an incredible story originating in 1936 for pouring war material into China. This scam has damaged many, many individuals and spawned a cottage industry in the Philippines making the very authentic-looking era military attache-cases holding these notes, always in sequential, identical sets of 100 sheets of $100 million in 1936 dollars. Redeemable today with compound interest makes these sheets well into the billion US dollars - so that is where the figure comes from. Some of the sealed boxes contain gold coins (3) for authenticity. This is a very secret and scary story that no one in the US will touch. This seems to be part of the Black Box Federal Reserve scam that has made the rounds in Asia for years.

This story has some twists and turns that need to be investigated. If it was a country trying to bring them in, why not just put them in a sealed diplomatic pouch?

It's like counterfeiting $1000 dollar bills. Nobody tries it because of the inherent scrutiny when one is presented. No corporation or single person has as much money as was seized, they had to be from a government. Also, there is no way anyone would try to fool the Swiss with counterfeit bonds. However, what I don't understand is why anyone would part with gold (or another cash, unless it's from Zimbabwe) for something denominated in US dollars.
