Incorrect. The people that actually made more money aren’t caught yet.

He’s obviously working for the government. This is why his punishment was so lenient.

For those of you saying "no way he got to kept 50 million": -He went to court after being caught with 1 million worth of fake 20's -At court he basically said "what if i can give you 200 million more to take out of circulation" for a deal -They cut his sentence, gave him the deal, and signed a plea agreement in which they would collect the last of the 200 at an undisclosed location on a certain date like a month later -After collecting the money, they had searched his home computers and found out he had ordered enough of the cotton/linen paper to print 250 million worth, but the plea agreement was already signed. -That last 50 mill of fake notes he was selling at 30% face value, so roughly 15mill profit he walked away with.

Plot twist: FBI actually took that counterfeit money for themselves.

Imagine if a small channel made a video about this. Youtube would remove it SO fast.

How is it possible to be fined only 1500 dollars for such a crime?!!! It goes to show how ridiculous the law can be.

I’m yet to see a comment on how he still managed to walk away with 50,000,000
