talking about jippun kia, 2 jippun kia were caught by italian guardia di finanza near the swiss border at chiasso in june of 2009 trying to smuggle bond and u.s. treasury certificates worth us$134 billion into switzerland. until this day, no sound no fury. to minimize panic and embarrassment to both the u.s. and jippun, authorities still claim they are investigating whether these papers are counterfeit produced by the mafia. yeah, blame it on the mafia. little does the public know the 2 jippun kia are finance officials from jippun. a few months later, the whole wayang produced 2 filipino mules with the same modus operandi but carrying certificates worth $116b. this time the papers were truly counterfeit. what about the jippun smuggling operation? the papers are genuine but in an private agreement and settlement among italian, jippun and american authorities, they claim the papers are suspected of being counterfeit in the public domain.
