He'd certainly been told the bonds were not genuine. Not just by ING, but by LaPorte as well. He called LaPorte in in 2009. His point of view seems to be that ING had some kind of responsibility entailing the counterfeits. He did note in those financials that the ING "disputed" the bonds' "validity".
Thing is, he claimed in those financials that the 2400 "bonds" were owned by ParaFin, and had been since January 2008. Yet he was attempting to cash one in in April 2008.
What's up with that? Did he originally come by MORE than 2400 bonds?
