Here's tip, if you want to print fake US dollars, do it in freakin Canada!


Canadian citizen, Frank Bourassa prints $250M of counterfeit $20 bills. He managed to sell $50M of the fake bills before getting caught.

Once caught he:
Hands over the rest of the fake money
Turns in his printing press
Pays $1500 fine to Canadian authorities.

He could have faced a stiffer sentence but his lawyer helped him on a technicality

He had some serious hardware

And I thought the whole time it was just the military and police that were spineless.
