The jury apparently is in for now – a Treasury Department official says that the $134.5 billion of treasury bonds recently seized at the Swiss-Italian border are fakes. As much as I wish there was something more to this story, sadly, there is not, and I’m generally not of the mind to conjure up conspiracy theories. I do, however, remain more than open to entertaining others’ conspiratorial whims, so if anyone out there has an unsubstantiated theory that has a pig’s chance of actually being something close to the truth, by all means let’s hear it!
