I think the story is beginning to make perfect sense Peter. The securities are genuine but secret (which explains all the smoke and confusion) and are only issued by the US to other governments around the world for specific economic reasons -- like expanding economies, because to the extent that the world economy expands (using dollar denominated collateral to achieve this), then dollar power and hegemony expands likewise.
But whether this is the real explanation or not, I think we can now begin to conclude that the securities are genuine.
For me the question now is what were the two Japanese intending to do with these assets? Obviously they couldn't sell them outright because (I presume) ownership would be clear and not transferable under the terms of whatever agreement covers them. But perhaps they could be "loaned" to another nation, for a fee, in a sovereign "bond lending" arrangement?

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.
