Dear Counterfeiters,
We're totally not trying to tell you how to run your business, but when the printer you're using to pump out
counterfeit hundies and fiddies breaks, it's probably a good idea to remove all the fake money jammed inside of it
before you send it out for repair. Otherwise you'll end up like that gang of geniuses in Arizona which just
got busted this week for pumping out $160,000 in counterfeit cash.

Unless your that hottie latina bank robbing chick...anybody check out her mug shots....whew!
i always thought it was hunnehds and fiddies.
wtf is a hundie? sounds like a cheap korean car.
Counterfitting is a good business. The margins are great!

Just don't make the margins too big, that's a dead giveaway.
"The bills were made of two sheets of laser-printed paper that had been glued together..."
Wow... brilliant...
Hey ela2,
You mention a hottie, but show no link? What a tease. :)
From TFA: Responsible for 10% of counterfeit money in Arizona...had printed $160,000 in cash.
That means that there is $1,600,000 in counterfeit money in Arizona. Wow.
"While some people may think that counterfeiting money is a white-collar crime, often people involved in it are hardcore criminals"
Yah. Gluing together laser-printed paper from scanned bills... SO HARDCORE, HOLY SHIT!!!!!
when i was little i tried drawing money and using it to buy candy.
the corner store guy thought it was cute so he gave me free candy.
two sheets glued together... i guess duplex printing was too complicated for these criminal master minds. 0_o
As technology gets smarter, criminals get dumber...
I half expected Motorola 3G Victim to post here saying "how else are poor folk supposed to buy luxury vehicles, foo?"
Re #11: Actually, that's probably deliberate, though they'd have done better to get thicker, more 'luxurious paper'... because regular paper is lighter than bills.
