Fascinating story, as this story could blow up huge. Japan might be losing faith in the US$, so they could have had two agents covertly attempt to sell the bonds on the dl to prevent alarm bells from going off. If this is true the dollar will surely collapse and America=Zimbabwe. Potential Pump and Dump operation here as the Japanese Treasury Secretary was out on the wires this week proclaiming their faith in US treasuries was "unshakable".
That being said...the far more likely scenario is that these guys were North Korean agents and the bonds were forged. NK has been forging dollars for years and Kim Jong Il is a fan of these amateurish cloak and dagger operations. Still, this has to be considered an act of financial terrorism and a direct provocation of the US.
It reeks of North Korean retardedness.
