1. Fake US Treasury Bonds The fraud was committed by former Scotland Yard official Graham Halksworth. He authenticated US treasury bonds of worth $ 2.5 trillion claiming that bonds have been issued by US government in 1934 to help nationalist in China but the plane carrying the bonds crashed and bonds were later discovered by local tribesmen.
According to Halksworth bonds remained with tribe for over 60 years and were handed over to some soldier and then brought to the London bank.
The fraud was uncovered when two men tried to pass bonds of worth $25 million at the Toronto bank and a bank official noticed the bonds bore the word dollar instead of dollars. Another reason of bonds being fake was, bonds were printed with an ink jet printer; which wasn’t invented at the time of issuing of bonds.2. Ponzi scheme Charles Ponzi an Italian by birth migrated to US and started a scheme which promises investors great returns within 45 days. He promised to double investor’s money and initially paid returns from the money investors invested.
He trapped many people and was caught and jailed in 1920.3. $50 billion fraudster Bernard Madoff Mr Madoff was one of Wall Street’s most-respected investment managers, but all the respect he got vanished after his confession about his business that it was nothing but a big lie. All the investment returns were fake and old clients were paid from the money of new ones. According to his personal estimates losses were of $50 billion.
Banks, charities, billionaires everyone was victim of this breathtaking fraud.4. Parmalat
Parmalat was Italy’s largest food company. The company was shut under $ 27 billion in debt after uncovering a financial scandal that its $ 10 billion declared assets are disappeared. Later investigation revealed that about $17 billion of funds have disappeared and can’t be tracked.5. Portuguese Bank Note Crisis
Alves dos Reis was the mastermind behind the plot. He masked himself as an official of Bank of Portugal having legal right to negotiate loan for Portuguese colony of Angola in Africa.
He conned the currency printer Waterlow and Sons Ltd. of London to print Portuguese banknote telling them that project is a highly secret project of Bank of Portugal. He created his own banks and even bought shares in Bank of Portugal. The drama was unfolded when a bank teller found the different notes with same serial numbers. According to estimates Reis managed to launder 1% of Portugal’s GDP at that time

The Dancing Plague of 1518 In July of 1518, Frau Troffea of Strasbourg, France (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) began to dance frantically in the streets. Within a month, 400 people began to do the same, eventually collapsing and dying of heart attack, exhaustion, and stroke.
Doctors at the time were at a loss. Notes from the city council reveal that the cause of the dancing was unknown, only that the victims were not dancing willingly.
Then, as suddenly as it began, in August the Dancing Plague of 1518 was over leaving almost 400 dead, a population baffled, and a mystery that has lasted half of a millennium.
Some have blamed the dancing plague on mass hysteria, the result of eating contaminated bread, or even religious ecstasy.
Although the plague never reappeared in France a similar case of the frantic dancing cropped up in Madagascar in 1840's. In both cases, the cause was never found.

As part of never-ending quest to make your life an even more mysterious and mind-blowing affair, I am presenting these interesting mysteries that have eluded explanations for as long as they have been documented.
The only thing more amazing than these mysteries is the fact that you probably haven't heard of many of them before. From the moving rocks of Racetrack Playa to a map of Antarctica that shouldn't exist, I am here to scramble your brain with stuff you didn't know and can't possibly explain so don't even bother trying! I will be posting a New Mystery everyday under this thread so keep reading and if u find it interesting dont forget to click on thank you button or alternatively invite me for a cup of latte :mean: :mean: So far added:
