if these bonds were the reason why the plane was shot is difficult to confirm. but that such bonds circulated is a publicly known story. around 1989 / 90 a lot of such bonds were presented to banks and all people involved (a lot of them inocent in godd faith) had serious problems.
there was a law enforcement world wide to find the source or the distributors of such bonds. it was then believed that the bonds were deposited either in an us bank (city bank) or the famous bcci and some forces could take them out and distribute them for unknown reasons (it is not clear if they tokk them same out to organise crook business or for other reasons). the newspaper made then real competition who is behind this, all kind of states and organisations was named.
the electronic (cusip) control of such bonds were positive, then they were called for verification and then confiscated with the excuse that they were redeemed. but longterm bonds redemption plan must be published and this was not the case. if you compare the balance sheets of the bond issuers involved with the so called redemption plan you could see that they were not redeemed. some of the bonds had still the so called transfersheets atttached which showed that the bonds were also dealt after the so called redemption date. (the french newspaper le figaro brought a big issue on this)
according to international law a bond/share or whatever is cancelled if the papper is visible stamped / perfored as cancelled, date and cancelling authority. this was not the case with these bonds. they had a perforation. but then no newspaper could explain what the perforation was. (earmark?) a lot of these bonds were also blank endorsed, this means that the holder of the bonds was the owner.
obviousely these bonds could have been only used in a closed circle. this was a kind of plastic money. once outside the circle the bonds were a kind of explosive which could destroy the whole market.
i recall a report, docket no. AA-SCP-92-141, of the us comptroller of the currency which was made public. perhaps somebody of the readers can recall it somewhere.
this story was covered by all european newspaper in such time and left a very strange impression of a kind of cospiracy.
who had an interest to dammage the fiancial market and especially the usa and europe legal and fiancial system? do we have to fear that red countries are still in possession of such bonds and threaten still usa and european banks? more as rumors say that some asian and mid east countries have such bonds stored / stolen? do not forget you need to present only one of these bonds and to get a sentence in a court where ever to validate on of these bonds and then usa and europe good bye.
to be precise the bonds are not fakes but they are most likely doubled or part of an overissue of normal bond issues. a complete fake action would have been to complicate and risky for all. the us and europe created with these bonds so called loan facilities with central banks to provide money for the economy.
in part such bonds served also to balance outstandings debts between banks and currency transfers.
this issue was and is a big threat to our economy. who is blackmailing us? who as an interest that our system explodes?
