1 In his official capacity as Security Director for the Dallas Federal Reserve, Mr. Harmon had been involved with the verification of different high denomination bonds, and in fact held a sample in his hands after it had been independently authenticated by others (it was $100 million denomination bond). Therefore, Plaintiff had an independent confirmation that such type bonds did exist, and had been printed legitimately, despite US web sites claiming such instruments do not exist.

2 If it were possible to construct such a box today, the boxes would each cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to construct. Moreover, Mr. Obara noted that there were, and are,only a handful of people in the world who had, or have, the skill-set necessary to develop such pieces. . Furthermore, due to the unique workmanship and excessive costs involved in creating such a box, it is clear that the boxes were extremely unique and only people who had a legitimate need for those boxes would ever have commissioned them. As such, Plaintiff’s claim that the bronze boxes are authentic and certifiable are certainly substantiated, which, in turn, further substantiates Plaintiff’s claim that his bonds are also authentic and certifiable.

3 Plaintiff later contacted Dr. Franklin Noll, a consultant with of the Bureau of Public Debt who is an historian with expertise in the history of government-issued, high-denomination bonds, such as those Plaintiff possesses. Dr. Noll is a known lecturer, and he frequently writes published papers for the U.S. government regarding high-denomination bonds such as Plaintiff’s. In communications with Plaintiff, Dr. Noll stated that such bonds were prepared legally by the U.S. government for debt management purposes in the 1930s, and that billion-dollar bonds were prepared as part of this effort. Dr. Noll explained that such bonds, stored in custom bronze boxes, were common at that time because it was cheaper at that time to prepare and then move high-denomination bonds and their bronze boxes as compared to moving hundreds of times more pieces of lower-denomination currency and bonds, which would have been cumbersome and impractical. Written and telephone communications between Dr. Noll, Plaintiff, and Dr. Colburn concerning these details further substantiated the history and existence of bonds such as Plaintiff’s bonds and their containment boxes. Plaintiff provided Dr. Noll with copies of the forensic data and reports obtained by Plaintiff, and, after reviewing those documents, Dr. Noll acknowledged that Plaintiff had followed a methodical, rigorous, and sophisticated inspection and authentication of his bonds, and generally agreed with the findings of Mr. Harmon and Dr. Colburn.

4 However, later investigations revealed that, not only was Mr. Davis a fictitious character, but he was a deliberate and necessary confabulation in Agent Jones’ plan to fraudulently obtain Plaintiff’s bonds.

5 Agent Jones had explained verbally to Plaintiff that various and slight wording and phrasings on the bonds indicated to him the bonds were not legitimate. Ironically, it is those exact minutiae that led Plaintiff’s experts to conclude that the bonds are in fact legitimate and authentic.
