China Securities Regulator Sends New Proposal on U.S. Audits
China’s securities regulator said it has sent U.S. authorities a fresh proposal about co-auditing Chinese firms, days after Washington moved to tighten rules for stock listings from the Asian nation. The new plan, sent Aug. 4, takes into account latest U.S. demands, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said in a statement on Saturday, without elaborating.
It added that it has communicated with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board multiple times in addressing auditing issues, and has never prevented accounting firms from providing audit work papers to overseas regulators. Such exchanges of information should be conducted through mutual cooperation, the CSRC said.
A high-powered group of U.S. financial regulators said on Thursday that stock exchanges should set new rules that could trigger the de-listing of Chinese companies, reflecting mounting concerns that investors are being exposed to fraud. The recommendations target a problem that has vexed U.S. regulators for more than a decade: China’s refusal to allow inspectors from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to review audits of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Baidu Inc. and other Chinese firms listed on U.S. exchanges.
The issue has gained added urgency due to rising tensions between Washington and Beijing and following this year’s high-profile accounting scandal at Luckin Coffee Inc.

this habbened at the Chiasso border crossing in 2009. The story they gave out makes no sense-there was no "check" as it was a Shengen border crossing. Everyone at Treasury and FRB denied they even existed.
Ended up at this station by mistake after missing a train stop at Lake Como main station a few months after this incident habbened.
So the story that the train was boarded and these were "found" is total bullshit.
Everything suggests that the American bonds seized at Chiasso are real
Four weeks have passed since American bonds were confiscated from two Japanese men who were travelling on a direct train to Chiasso, Switzerland, and while there has been clarification of some – very few -points, Italian authorities have remained silent on the rest of the episode.
In addition, a strange coincidence in the timing of the arrest of a director of an internet radio who had made revelations regarding the incident ,increases the already strong oddities surrounding the case. This added to the revaluation of the fact that among the evidence seized there were “Kennedy Bonds”, all points toward the authenticity of the items seized by the Guardia di Finanza (GdF) in early June.
The major English-speaking newspapers ignored the story for a couple of weeks. They only started to report on it after the Bloomberg agency carried a story on 18 / 6, in which a spokesman for the Treasury, Meyerhardt, declared that the bonds, based on photos available on the Internet, were “clearly false.” The same day, the Financial Times (FT) published an article whose title laid the blame for the (alleged) infringement at the feet of the Italian Mafia, despite the fact that the article failed to make even one possible connection with the episode in Chiasso. Nevertheless, the version of events as reported in FT was taken up by others as being “appropriate” (given that it is a very common cliché about Italy and it is a sequester that took place in Italy) and in the end “colourful.” It’s a pity that it goes against all logic: that the Mafia tried to pass unnoticed in its attempt to dump fake bonds amounting to 134.5 billion dollars and moreover were to “stung” a mere step from their gaol, is not very credible.
Most recently last week, 25 / 6, the New York Times reported on the story in particular, the allegations of CIA spokesman, Darrin Blackford: the U.S. Secret Service carried out inspections, as required by the Italian judiciary, and found that they were fictitious financial instruments, never issued by the “U.S. government”. It is not clear, however, how the checks mentioned by Blackford were carried out and whether they were also are carried out via internet. In fact according to official Italian sources the Commission of American experts, expected in Italy, have yet to arrive. Furthermore, the bonds were accompanied by a recent and original bank record. It is therefore unclear how the U.S. authorities can declare fake documentation that does not originate from the Fed or the U.S. Department of Treasury.
On the contrary, claims in support of the bond’s authenticity were made 20 / 6 on the Turner Radio Network (TRN), an independent radio station broadcast via Internet. On that date in a massive exposure, TRN stated that the two Japanese men arrested by the Guardia di Finanza (GdF) and then released in Ponte Chiasso were employees of the Japanese Ministry for Treasury. AsiaNews had also received similar reports: one of the two Japanese arrested in Chiasso and then released is Tuneo Yamauchi, is the brother of Toshiro Muto, until recently vice governor of the Bank of Japan. On its website, the creator and presenter of the Radio, Hal Turner, had also claimed that his sources had revealed that the Italian authorities believe the evidence to be authentic and that the two Japanese officials are from the Japanese Ministry for Finance. They were supposed to bring the bonds to Switzerland because the Japanese government had apparently lost confidence in U.S. ability to repay its debt. Japanese financial authorities therefore were trying to sell a part of the securities in their possession through parallel channels ahead of an imminent financial disaster, thanks to the anonymity which, Turner said, is guaranteed by the laws of Switzerland.

and one of the main reasons these were deemed fakes was that Italian Financial law states that whatever is recovered by the Guardia di Finanza they get to keep a large % of as a sort of finders fee.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Like the Gold Bars the CNBC anchor (Pisani) held up to "prove" they actually had the gold they say they did at the World Gold Council.
Was hilarious seeing the blow-back from that.
