Most interesting Peter. Two Japanese "businessmen" eh. I suppose one could argue that the Yakuza are businessmen?
I've come across ots of stories ike this in the past but I've never,ever heard of "Kennedy Bonds" before and can find no reference to them on the net, other than items related to this story. Based on the story these are special issue Fed bonds issued only to other sovereign nations and are not marketable in the normal sense. The question then is why are these being smuggled into Switzerland? And smuggled from where exactly? Which sovereign legally owns them?
I think it likely that these securities will be found to be "fake", because clearly, there are some very sensitive issues involved and that label would be the easiest way of diffusing the story.
Let's hope more seeps out in the coming days as it is really very intriguing.
Great find btw.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
