[clapp] APPLAUSE to those who denounce those boxes as fakes.
A motherbox with 12 smaller boxes inside was recently "discovered" in Malaysia. Same modus operandi as I've seen in the past 8 years over here. The seller is always a Tausug with many ties in Zamboanga. He won't be coming back too soon. :)

The 2 japanese nationals caught in italy are high ranking officials in the treasury department of japan and they were freed without charges. We'll it is illegal for anybody to carry or even to keep these documents. The FED authorities can put you in jail if you are caught with it. More than 80% of these are fraud and even the genuine ones is illegal to trade or buy or sell. There is one authorized to do the redemption of these and unless you go through them, it will always be illegal. Global immunity is given during the transaction.

CAp what are those GREEN CARD for (it looks like an ID card to me ust cant read what's in it), which role will that card do to the redeemer or the owner..
There are too many things now being inserted in the box, It was 2006 (with a US Embassy official who authenticated a box and a cylindrical aluminum tube containing the treaty of Versailles (which BTW is another insertion) but there was no Green card or Global Immunity etc. We out right declared it fake because of the common mistakes that the scammers always do.
What's next US CITIZENSHIP?

MasKara,
Those belongs to a fake FRB. Coins coated with gold, heavy but color fades. Green Card, color green with the title green card written on it and with the FED seal. Yes, next time, there will be a Citizenship Card bro. ;D ;D ;D. Don't be surprised if it will contain also the ID of the holder [funny]. Well, more than 80% is fake. So, it will be 1:8+ ratio chance to find a genuine one, if you can find one.

Utah man charged with trying to cash fake $100 million U.S. bond
November 3, 2000
Web posted at: 10:00 PM EST (0300 GMT)
NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) -- Federal authorities on Friday charged a Utah auto mechanic with trying to cash a bogus $100 million Federal Reserve bearer bond allegedly issued in 1934.
Kevin S. Jackson, 49, of Hyde Park, Utah, was arrested June 22 and is free on $10,000 bond pending arraignment on two counts of mail fraud and one each of conspiracy and transporting a counterfeit security across state lines. Each count carries a prison term of up to five years and a $250,000 fine.
In court papers filed after his arrest, Jackson claimed he got the bond through an intermediary of an unnamed Philippine general. Jackson claimed that notes with values up to $100 million were produced before World War II and were issued to European nations to help their economies.
He further claimed that some of the bonds fell into the hands of the Japanese during the war and eventually ended up with Ferdinand Marcos, the dead former president of the Philippines.
The court documents, filed by Jackson's public defender K. Anthony Thomas, claim Philippine generals got hold of the bonds after the dictator's death.
Prosecutors said the Federal Reserve never issued any note in a denomination greater than $1 million. The nation's central bank could not immediately verify that claim Friday evening, said spokesman Dave Skidmore.
Jackson could not be reached for comment at his home or workplace, the Mechanic Shop in Smithfield, Utah. Messages left at both locations were not immediately returned Friday.
Thomas said he had not yet seen the indictment and declined to comment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Rocco, who is prosecuting the case, said he could not comment on whether others would be charged, but said the investigation is continuing.
The case came to light when banking officials became suspicious after Jackson tried to deposit the bond in several financial establishments and to have funds transferred elsewhere or to take cash.
In court papers seeking to dismiss the complaint, Jackson's lawyer argued that the government denies the notes exist because, "If these notes were redeemed, the American economy would devastatingly suffer."

BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20551
DIVISION OF BANKING
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
SR 03-14
July 16, 2003
TO THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF SUPERVISION
AT EACH FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
SUBJECT: Fraudulent Federal Reserve Note Schemes
Over the past several years, the Federal Reserve has issued various advisories relating to bogus investment schemes involving phony "prime bank" notes, letters of credit, and guarantees, and other financial instruments. In May 2002, in SR letter 02-13 the Federal Reserve once again highlighted the dangers associated with investment schemes that promise very high rates of interest that are, among other things, supposedly generated through secret trading programs involving financial instruments. That SR letter listed the general characteristics or "red flags" of illicit financial instrument investment scams.1
Since the issuance of the Federal Reserve's last pronouncement about fraudulent investment schemes in 2002, Board staff has become aware of the growing use of altered Federal Reserve Notes as part of illicit investment schemes. The notes are in face amounts of $1 billion, $100 million, or $50 million or some other astronomically large amount and have "coupons" attached to them. They often look like the picture to the right.
Except for coins, U.S. currency is in the form of "Federal Reserve Notes." The notes are designed and printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are circulated through the 12 Federal Reserve Banks in the United States. These notes are familiar -- they are the money in our pockets -- and are in general circulation in this country and abroad in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 denominations. It would appear that there should be no confusion between the phony notes and legitimate U.S. currency. However, fraudsters often falsely claim that the altered Federal Reserve Notes that they hold are somehow very special (for example, they are part of a secret trove of notes issued by the Federal Reserve under unusual circumstances that have been hidden for decades in secret locations abroad) and are not known to the public because they are so secret. The fraudulent notes -- one example of which is set forth above -- are worthless.2
Board staff is also aware that wrongdoers have been falsely claiming that the "notes" can be taken to banks and other financial institutions to be used to collateralize loans or traded as part of an investment program. They cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever because they are entirely bogus.3
Federal law enforcement authorities have asked the Federal Reserve to advise individuals, banking organizations, and other entities who have been contacted regarding the phony Federal Reserve Notes to contact the local offices of the agencies. This includes the field offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Enforcement, or Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division.
Reserve Banks are asked to distribute this SR letter to the domestic and foreign banking organizations supervised by the Federal Reserve in their districts. Questions concerning this matter should be directed to a senior special investigator in the Special Investigations Section of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation at (202) 452-6488 or (202) 452-2289.
