72 bil. yen missing in Princeton bond case: paper

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has located
only 8.2 billion yen ($78 million) of about 120 billion yen ($1.14
billion) invested by some 70 Japanese companies in so-called
Princeton bonds, with 72.2 billion yen unaccounted for, the Yomiuri
Shimbun said Friday.
According to SEC documents obtained by the paper, Martin
Armstrong, chairman of U.S. fund management group Princeton Economics
International Ltd. (PEI), which issued the bonds, spent the dollar
equivalent of 39.6 billion yen -- 38.5 billion yen to make up for his
own investment losses and 1.1 billion yen to buy antiques, postage
stamps and coins.
