Here is some deeper research
Here is some deeper research on the topic of these bonds. Do we really need more mysteries to solve?

The seizure of this money
The seizure of this money has somehow reduced the Federal Reserve Note's inflation.
60% of $134 Billion is now out of circulation.
Maybe after the inflationary $134.5 Billion TARP fund, the FED wanted to cancel it out?
"BREAKING" is for breaking news, not old news
Just because you just found out doesn't make it breaking. Not trying to be mean, just want to keep the site's reputation for actually breaking news. Like the scouts thing, old news. You stick around here a little bit and you'll know the "breaking" news 3-5 days before it breaks.

I posted this on the 16th. Actually it was really really late at night on the 15th. This story first came out a week before that, but the link that I first read when I posted was newer. So I used the word "breaking". After I did a bit more digging I regretted posting anything at all.
Why don't you look at the date at the link.

If these are real, these two
If these are real, these two Japanese would be the 4th largest credit holders of the US.WTF?

Let's put this exotic, outlandish story to rest for now. The...
bonds are all counterfeit! So says U.S. Treasury in these news articles from today. This was a great story while it lasted. Unless more evidence to the contrary surfaces, this story ends here.
These 2 Japanese were let go and promptly vanished into thin air.

Why let them go?
If the bonds were fake, why let these two guys go? They are still guilty of a huge crime. This story continues to produce more questions than answers.
Please check out the update above.

Odd...
Does the Federal Reserve have the power to issue new bonds to replace lost or stolen bonds? I mean, this is such an icky situation with Italy claiming 40%. Just wondering as these were probably fake. But if they were counterfeit, Italy just released the couriers of the largest counterfeit discovery in the world. Odd...
What were the names of the Japanese guys again?
I don't believe they are
I don't believe they are fakes. If they are fakes, no bank will cash them, because they have serial numbers on the notes.
I think it's tied to that TARP money. It's too much of a coincidence that the TARP money is $134.5 billion and the dudes were caught with the same amount.
Update: Glenn Beck covered $134B bond smuggle.
"They are probably counterfeit" per date on the bonds from 1934.

Hold on to your hat for another wild turn.
Turner Radio Network (TRN) announced June 20 that it had new confirmed information the two Japanese nationals are in the “employees of the Finance Ministry of Japan.” TRN has now confirmed the two men arrested were trying to secretly dump Bonds as ordered by the government of Japan because the Japanese government feared that the U.S. government would be unable to repay its debts. Despite the assurances from Japanese Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano that Japan has complete confidence in the U.S. Treasury has confirmed the upon the serial numbers of the Bonds, part of the $686 billion of U.S. debt officially held by Japan.
If all of this hold’s true Americans should know clearly that Japan is still capable of a Pearl Harbor, financial style, and that our Government is incapable of telling the truth. U.S. officials apparently lied to Italy, numerous news outlets, the American People and Glenn Beck! From the World’s perspective the U.S.A. can’t even identify its own bonds, has very nervous creditors and that U.S. mainstream media in unable to perform impartial journalism and are worthless as an honest and viable news source.

"Kennedy Bonds" weren't around in 1934.

There aren't even any
There aren't even any "Kennedy Bonds" now! This entire smuggling case appears to be extremely amateurish. The US Treasury now says that the supposed bonds and currency are all fake. A photo that appeared in the Japanese press ....

$134.5 billion smuggled out, $134.5 billion TARP funds left!
Now this *is* interesting...
Remember those two "Japanese" who were caught out a few days ago trying to smuggle $134.5 billion in U.S. bearer bonds into Switzerland?

Interesting that the Wall Street Journal reported on 30 March 2009 that there were $134.5 billion of TARP funds left in the U.S. Treasury Department's financial rescue fund.
