Glenn W. Turner..

Glenn W Turner was born in 1934 in South Carolina to an unwed mother. He was very poor. His mother’s prenatal illness of scarlet fever caused Glenn W Turner to be born with a clef palate and a hair lip. As an infant, he had surgery in an attempt to correct these problems. Even so, his disability was always noticeable but this was not to stop Glen W Turner from wanting to be great.

He dropped out of school in the 8th grade mainly because of the teasing about his hair lip by other children. When Glen W Turner was only 17 years old, he had his father sign for him so that he could join the Air Force. Unfortunately, he was given a medical discharge one year later because it was discovered that he had a perforated eardrum.

Upon exploring job opportunities, he was told that his outlook was bleak because he had no education. He was directed to and enrolled in an Opportunity School. This was a school for people who had dropped out of school or had never gone to school. This school saved his life. It gave him the inspiration to complete school and the first boost of confidence in his life.

Glenn eventually started selling sewing machines door to door. Because of his past experiences, Glenn Tuner didn’t have much confidence at first. However, he was fortunate to have the ability to learn about sales from his manager who became his mentor. This mentoring relationship helped Glenn to be very successful. Glenn never forgot the importance of having a good mentor.

He was soon introduced to a great company called Holiday Magic, an MLM cosmetic sales company. Glenn Turner would mortgage the family furniture to borrow $5000 to become a distributor. In a short time, Glenn surpassed fellow distributor, Zig Ziegler, and became the Number One distributor for Holiday Magic. In fact, he made a quarter of a million dollars just in his first eight months with Holiday Magic!

Glenn was transformed from having little confidence to having the confidence of a master speaker and entrepreneur. When Glenn was 26, he left Holiday Magic and began his own cosmetic MLM marketing company. It was called Koscot.

Glenn W Turner grew Koskot to a $100 million dollar powerhouse in just 36 short months. At the height of it’s growth, Koscot was larger than Amway.

Glenn developed a new company named Dare To Be Great because Koscot had a need for training materials and courses. Many Koscot salespeople left their distributorships and became involved with the Dare To Be Great program. People flocked to Dare To Be Great because they were fascinated with everyone’s positive attitude and success.

In fact, Glenn W Turner estimates that more than 800 people became millionaires through Koscot and Dare To Be Great.

MLM laws were non-existent when Glenn W Turner first started. But as the laws developed, Glenn Turner started being investigated for different kinds of illegal activities, including mail fraud. (Oddly, the new laws were written with the help of AMWAY attorneys)

He subsequently worked with one of his former employees in the development of a new MLM, Challenge America. The company was investigated and Glenn was eventually charged with “aiding and abetting a pyramid.” He spent almost five years in an Arizona prison.

Glenn’s great passion is teaching personal development and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. He has written several books and estimates that he has sold seven million books and audio-tape programs in his career combined.

I heard Turner speak on one occasion, in Columbus, Ohio. The program consisted of some of his staff, successful franchisers and others. The talk was 100% MONEY and AMBITION ..... NEVER one word about the product ...... he was selling ..... OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY. The only visible connection with his Mink Oil Product, was the mink coat that his lovely secretary was wearing.

ALL speakers RAN from the back of the room to the front. You could feel the electricity in the air.

Glenn was late getting to the Columbus venue. SUPPOSEDLY he had a strict rule on his private plane, if you are late, fly commercial. HE WAS LATE and the plane took off without him.

As a result, all of the HIGH POWERED speakers had their opportunity, electrifcy the crowd, get them to a fevered pitch ..... then ..... THE KING ARRIVED with his entourage .... and the crowd went HYSTERICAL ..... wanting to shake his hand ..... or "just go up and touch him."

CHARISMA - HOPE - NEW IDEA - ENTHUSIASM - STAR APPEAL - OPPORTUNITY

Sound familiar, this was many years ago, we are seeing it today with OBAMA.

Think about it!

HOO HOO - DON'T LET THE DOGS OUT - HOO HOO

Cleveland Browns receiver Donte’ Stallworth was indefinitely suspended by the NFL on Thursday for driving drunk and killing a pedestrian in Miami.

“The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life and was inexcusable,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a letter to Stallworth.

“While the criminal justice system has determined the legal consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to determine appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players and the NFL,” Goodell said.

Stallworth, who will not be paid during the suspension, (NOT ANOTHER BANKRUPTCY BY A MILLION DOLLAR FOOTBALL PLAYER) pleaded guilty this month to a DUI manslaughter charge for striking Mario Reyes on March 14. He began serving a 30-day jail sentence Tuesday and has reached a financial settlement with the family of the 59-year-old construction worker.

After jail, Stallworth must serve two years of house arrest and spend eight years on probation. The house arrest provisions would allow him to play.

Goodell said that, eventually, he would contact Stallworth’s representatives before determining the length of the suspension.

“There is no reasonable dispute that your continued eligibility for participation at this time would undermine the integrity of and public confidence in our league,” Goodell said.

Browns general manager George Kokinis said in a statement: “We support the action taken by the commissioner today and will continue to work closely with the league regarding this matter.”

The NFL Players Association had no comment.

After a night drinking at a bar in Miami Beach’s Fountainebleau hotel, police said Stallworth hit Reyes, who was rushing to catch a bus after finishing work about 7:15 a.m. Stallworth told police he flashed his lights in an attempt to warn Reyes, who was not in a crosswalk when struck.

Stallworth, who stopped after the crash and reported the accident, had a blood-alcohol level well above Florida’s legal limit. Police estimated Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone

Stallworth must undergo drug and alcohol testing. His driver’s license was suspended for life and he must perform 1,000 hours of community service.

The night before the crash, Stallworth earned a $4.5 million roster bonus from the Browns, whose offseason moves indicated they were not counting on him.

WATCH AND LISTEN TO THIS .......

This is well worth watching

I have to admit, Barbara Boxer makes me sick at times .....

At it again ......

Barbara Boxer is at it again.

During a Senate hearing this week, Boxer lashed out at United States Army General Michael Walsh for not addressing her properly.

What did General Walsh say, you ask?

No, General Walsh didn't call her Barbara.

The offensive moniker?...

"Ma'am"

General Walsh has a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Army. He's worked his way up through the ranks, having served at home and abroad - including a tour in Iraq - to his current command of a division of the Army Corps of Engineers.

He deserves better from a United States Senator. Ironically, General Walsh is even from California - making him a constituent of Senator Boxer's.

All of our military men and women deserve more dignity than to be on the receiving end of condescension and disrespect, especially at the hands of our elected officials.

She rebuked him for calling her that ..... I AM A CONGRESSWOMAN ..... worked long and hard to get that. True, but he showed no disrespect to her ..... she did to him.

FATHERS DAY IS APPROACHING

Brad (my son in NY) called on the phone.

I thought my wife had left for Walmart, but looked outside, and there was my wife, my daughter Melissa and my granddaughter Amanda ....

BIG WHITE STYRAFOAM BOX ......

Brad is still on the phone ...... talking with me .....

Thanks Brad and Bernie .... my love and thanks to you both........

Anything to get HITS

I feel bad about doing this, but I really need readers, and I think this photograph will help generate a few more ....

I hope to hear:

"Go to this blog, check out that picture of Debra."

"She has always been beautifull."

"She sure looks a lot like her handsome father."

"When is he coming back for a visit, we certainly miss him."

"Is that her high school picture?"

"She gets her good looks from her Father, no doubt about that."

"Does she write him regularly?"

"I really enjoy his BLOG."

"I was surprised to learn how old he was, he writes much younger."

Is something wrong here?

Good help is hard to find ....................

A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife.

She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew
very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper
for a ranch hand.

Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She
thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to
hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house
than the drunk.

He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot
about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing
very well.

Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, 'You have done a
really good job, and the ranch looks great You should go into town and kick
up your heels.'

The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.

One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired
hand. Finally he returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he
found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine,
waiting for him.

She quietly called him over to her.

'Unbutton my blouse and take it off,' she said. Trembling, he did as she
directed.

'Now take off my boots.' He did as she asked, ever so slowly.

'Now take off my stockings.' He removed each gently and placed them neatly
by her boots.

'Now take off my skirt.' He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her
eyes in the fire light.


'Now take off my bra.' Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told
and dropped it to the floor.

Then she looked at him and said, 'If you ever wear my clothes into town
again, you're fired.'

I didn't see it coming, either!

In retrospect .... I could never have been .......

I was watching something on TV yesterday, guys working on TALL buildings, with nothing between them and the ground, but air. I thought to myself, "I could never have done that."

I don't like height, I don't like looking at pictures of height, or high places, my hands perspire, they are perspiring now just thinking about height, so I'm glad I never got a construction job, or became a fireman.

Many years ago, probably 1943, I was 11, we were asked to go sailing, in Michigan, with some friends we had made. They had a 30 foot sailboat, TALL MAST.

My Dad asked McFarland, "Whatever happens if that main sail rope breaks?"

"It never does, Doc."

It broke, just at that moment, like it was planned. We were pretty far out in Burt Lake.

"Joe, can you shinny up there and put this rope through that pulley."

"Sure," I replied and started up.

I got up about 10 feet or so, looked down, and slid down.

We paddled back to the boat well where the boat was kept, and my brother was enlisted to climb to the top of an overhanging tree and everyone got on the port side of the sailboat to make it lean, and the top of the mast and my brother met, and the rope was put into place.

I was going in to medicine, since my Dad was an MD, it was just assumed in those days. My freshman year of pre-med, not sure of the class, but we had to cut up something. Made me realize I did not want to be a Doctor. Not aware of my ADD then, would never have seen a "healing" through to the end. Lots of patients, no results.

I never could have been a Catholic Priest either. First, I wasn't a Catholic, and four wives and four children later, the celibacy thing would never have worked out. If it had not been for that, I would have made a good priest. Maybe all that kneeling would have kept my knees in better shape than they are now.

WHAT IF..... we have to draw the line, SOMEWHERE

Letterman, in his monologue Monday night, noted that the 2008 Democatic presidential candidate's wife attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Letterman referred to Michelle, the President's wife, as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant."

The "Late Show" host also took a shot Obama's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman.

"One awkward moment for Michelle at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."



Imus, in his monologue Monday morning, noted that the 2008 Democatic presidential candidate's wife attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Imus referred to Michelle, the President's wife, as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant."

The morning radio host also took a shot Obama's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman.

"One awkward moment for Michelle at the Yankee game," Imus said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."



Letterman, in his monologue Monday night, noted that the
speaker of the House attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Letterman referred to Nancy as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant."

The "Late Show" host also took a shot Pelosi's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman.

"One awkward moment for Nancy at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."

OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE DIFFERENT PEOPLE MAKE ................ OR DIFFERENT PARTIES

One apology just isn't enough.

David Letterman directly apologized to Gov. Sarah Palin and her daughters on his program Monday night according to released transcripts, with the CBS late show comic taking the blame for a "flawed" joke that offended the former vice presidential candidate.

"I told a bad joke," he said. "I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception."

Letterman is in hot water after a barb last week about the governor's daughter, prompting an argument over the airwaves that has lasted several days.

Letterman was riffing on Palin's recent visit to New York when he said, "One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."

In the joke, Letterman seemingly confused Willow, who is 14 and attended the game with Palin, with Bristol, who is 18 and an unwed mother.

Insisting that Letterman was talking about her 14-year-old daughter, Palin told Matt Lauer on the "TODAY" show she'd never let Willow near the "perverted" Letterman.

During Monday's show, Letterman again said he would never make a joke about a young girl and said he was confused about the daughters. “I was told at the time she was there with Rudy Guiliani,” he said. “I should have made the joke about Rudy.”

He said that he fully realized the impact of what he said after watching PBS.

"This commentator, the columnist Mark Shields, was talking about how I had made this indefensible joke about the 14-year-old girl, and I thought, 'Oh, boy, now I'm beginning to understand what the problem is here," Letterman told his audience. "It's the perception rather than the intent.' It doesn't make any difference what my intent was, it's the perception. And, as they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it's not a very good joke."

New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser is among the critics who have said the joke was about much more than teenage pregnancy. Words like "statutory rape" found their way into her column Monday about Letterman, describing him as "a bitter guy who never saw a woman or a Republican he could stand."

Others who probably wouldn't let their young daughters near Letterman might include those who recently launched the Web site firedavidletterman.com.

New York State Assemblyman Brian Kolb and Los Angeles-based attorney and radio host John Ziegler are among those who have not only helped build the site, but they've also started a Facebook group for which more than 1,600 members have already signed up.

"I'm glad he's acknowledged we're right," Ziegler said.

Lifelong Headaches .............

Fred was moderately successful golfer, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. His golf, personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he managed to push on, but when his game turned really sour he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem.

"The good news is I can cure your headaches, the bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine.

The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure and allow your swing to work again is to remove the testicles."

Fred was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he has anything to live for, but then figured at least he could play reasonable golf again.

He decided he had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realised that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning, swing free, and live a new life.

He went to the club for a drink and as he walked past the Pro shop thought, "That's what I need: A new outfit."

He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like some new golf slacks." The salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see . . . size 44 long." Fred laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job." Fred tried on the slacks, they fitted perfectly.

As Fred admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt, I've got some great new Nicklaus stock."

Fred thought for a moment and then said, "Sure . ." . The salesman eyed Fred and said,"Let's see. . . 34 sleeve and . . . 16 and and half neck" Fred was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job."

Fred tried on the shirt, and it fitted perfectly. As Fred adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes, we just got new stock with soft spikes" Fred was on a roll and agreed. The salesman said, "Let's see. . .9 and a half. . . wide."

Fred was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job." Fred tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Fred walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?" Without hesitating, Fred said, "Sure . ."

The salesman eyed Fred's head and said, "Let's see . . . 7 5/8." Fred was really impressed, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job."

The hat fit perfectly. Fred was feeling great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear, got some great new imported stock." Fred thought for a second and said, "Sure . . " The salesman stepped back, eyed Fred's waist and said, "Let's see. . size 36."

Fred laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34 - every time you swing it would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

About Heart Attacks

There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.

One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and
lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be no pain in the chest during a heart attack.

The majority of people (about 60%) who had an heart attack during their sleep,
did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from
your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow
them with a bit of water.

Afterwards

- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins.
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their
arrival and...

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after reading this blog,
refers this site to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!

I have already shared the information-- What about you?

Refer or forward this blog; it may save lives!

PS A personal comment and recommendation...
I keep a small used "prescription" plastic bottle on my nightstand. I have two aspirins in it, and for a lid, a piece of foil which I can easily remove.

In the bottle are two aspirins, at the ready.

I always keep a bottle of water by my bed, with a loose cap. I can reach down by the side of the bed, in the dark, and know just where it is.

More Proustian Memory Stuff

Now that I know what it is .....

Smell, fragrances, or odors that trigger vivid memory images ...... just thinking about the "smell, fragrance, odor" brings back the imagery, and almost takes you back to that time and place ................. remember a room, or a place, and that odor almost comes back .............. some on my list:

My old school, Oakwood High School, in Dayton, Ohio ..... 7 through 12 .... I had not been in the building for almost 50 years, but we visited there a few years ago, an one walk in the door, the aroma was the same, and it brought back all those memories.

The Church and the Church Basement where I went to Sunday School and had our Cub Scout meetings, 1st Methodist, Dayton, Ohio.

The Seashore .... always the same, brings back so many memories, vacations, USN, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Japan, Korea .... the ocean seemed to have a different odor in the Orient, for some reason ..... OH, the odor that permeates the air in Japan ....... I think it was the Sandalwood ......... very distinct.

Mennen Skin Bracer .......... takes me back to 1950, The Citadel, in Charleston, SC, I used that .... my first after shave......... memories there.

Aqua Velva ............. Lake Tahoe, the Nevada Lodge, Crystal Bay Club ..... Reno, and with those ..............

the AIR at Lake Tahoe, clear, crisp, a hint of Cedar in the air, and cedar smoke from the fireplaces......

So many, any of yours to add to my list?

Proustian Memory ......

I found this article on the internet, I am going to get some PLAY-DOH today and see if I have the same reaction ...... Play-Doh was originally to be a wallpaper cleaner ...

I pop the lid on a new can of Play-Doh and after emptying its bright blue contents, place the can to my face like it’s an airplane oxygen mask. I inhale deeply and then, as if actually on some magical aircraft, I travel to a different place. At once I am at my parents’ dining room table. I can see the pattern of the tablecloth, I can hear my mother in the kitchen behind me and I can taste the cherry Kool-Aid––the drink I used as a chaser after I ate a super-salty morsel of Play-Doh. It’s a wonderfully vivid visit, 30 years in the past.

Scientists call my trip a “Proustian Memory,” named after novelist Marcel Proust, who, in a 1913 novel, described how the smell of a certain cake dipped into lime-blossom tea had caused a flood of powerful memories. We now know there’s a biological reason for what Proust described and what Play-Doh delivers. The sensation of smell, the retrieval of memories and our emotions, are all processed on the right side of the brain and are, therefore, closely linked.

According to aromatherapy experts, that link has the ability to reduce stress, increase energy, and restore the lost balance of the mind, body and soul. Of course, they’re referring to scents like nutmeg and lime-blossom tea, certainly not Play-Doh.

Yet, give any surly adult a sniff of this magical modeling compound and you’ll witness a transformation as remarkable as any from the most fragrant frankincense. The pleasant aroma of Play-Doh can move us and yes, restore our lost balance to mind, body and soul. It smells a little like almonds, a little like grammar school, and a whole lot like childhood.

WOW, I can relate to this ...............

Homemade Wallpaper Cleaner

THANKS TO ROBYN, THIS BLOG HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF .. SHE INDICATED THAT THE RECIPE AS PUBLISHED WAS D A N G E R  O  U  S ........ SO IT IS GONE.

Robyn has left a new comment on your post "Homemade Wallpaper Cleaner":



Kerosene and ammonia? Mixed with vinegar? I'd recommend starting with a safer home-chemistry project like making methamphetamine. That will only PROBABLY kill you, instead of ALMOST CERTAINLY like this recipe!

Letterman vs IMUS

Is there a double standard, or is it just my imagination?

Letterman gets by with a "tongue in cheek" apology, and Imus gets kicked off the air. To me, what Letterman did was much, much more severe. Why INSULT the child of a politician in the name of humor.

Today, there would be no comedians if it were not for politicians. There are no more comedy writers, just political analysts. A so called comedy writer today, needs do nothing more but sit and watch television.

I wonder what Letterman would have said if it had been one of Pelosi's daughters, or any prominent democrat, for that matter.

I no longer watch the Indiana boy, he has forgotten his "roots" and the Indiana background in which he was raised. He no longer "tears" up, when he hears the strains of "Back Home Again In Indiana," he is not a Hoosier anymore, in my book. He is just another one of those Carson, WANNABEES, and that will never happen.

Imus, and I heard him when he made that comment, and I was shocked, and knew he had overstepped his boundaries. He, like Letterman, think they have risen to a point of invulnerability, where they can do no wrong, but some things just can't go ignored.

I don't think the Palin family deserved those comments. I am also glad that Sarah chose not to go on his show ...... to see how great he really is.... or was.

Lettterman is on my list of NOT TO WATCH shows, not too many left to watch! My list is almost down to POKER and the WEATHER CHANNEL. I am thankful for Channel 73, I spend as much time there as anywhere. THE BIG TEN NETWORK.

MORE INFORMATION

Scents make memories ..............

I was laying out on the front porch a while ago, about half asleep, and my mind wondered back, many years, trying to remember "scents" from my past.

Few will remember, but each year, in the spring, WALLPAPER CLEANER. I remember coming home from school, late 30's, open the door, to that aroma of wallpaper cleaner. That scent meant a lot of things ..... spring, summer, vacations, housecleaning, not that I did any in those days.

The cleaner came in a can, was pink, consistency of play doh, it was nothing more than a soft eraser. You would basically "erase" the coal dust and dirt off the wallpaper. The more you worked, the blacker the pink cleaner got. It was soft and playable. When you were done, the wallpaper looked new, and there was that lasting aroma in the air, of the wallpaper cleaner.

I'll have to look and see if they still have it, I would love to experience that fragrance again.

PS: A little reseaarch revealed that PLAY DOH was originally invented to be a wallpaper cleaner ... but, as I recall, the old wallpaper cleaner had more of a gritty texture to it.

WHAT IF?

Newark, Ohio police did that arrest ..... and the city gets the 53 billion dollar fine:

Each registered voter gets 1 million dollars

Registered democrats each get 2 million

Enlarge the ice arena, bring in professional hockey to Newark (I am thinking up a name)

Buy Longaberger, turn the BASKET into City Council Chambers (ideal setting for all the "basket cases" that show up for meetings

Widen the Licking River, allow for a new riverboat casino ... Harrah's Newark

ALL City employees get triple wages

Incorporate Marne, Hanover, Granville, Jacksontown, Pataskala and Heath into Newark.

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?????

Italian police arrest 2 Japanese smuggling $134 billion in bonds into Switzerland

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS – 3 hours ago

ROME — Italian authorities say they have arrested two Japanese men who allegedly tried to bring $134 billion (C96 billion) worth of undeclared U.S. bonds into Switzerland.

Anti-fraud police in Como, near the Swiss border, said Monday the men hid the bonds in the bottom of a suitcase. They were caught in Chiasso's train station June 3 after an inspection.

Police said the two suspects were carrying a total of 259 bonds, including 10 with a value of $1 billion (C721 million) each and 249 with a value of $500 million (C357 million).

Police said they were checking whether the bonds are authentic. If they are found to be real, the two men could face a fine of C38 billion ($53 billion).
