How Counterfeit Money Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider

The fact that the drug dealer found out that the bill is fake and was like "I respect the hustle bro" says a lot about that guy

Finding the company outsourced by the treasury department and then looking up their patents was genius.

This dude isn't a counterfeiting expert. Hes an artist. He explains it like it was simple. I cant color inside the lines 😂

From dumb truck driver who went unemployed, to arguably one of the finest counterfeiters who delivered the entire operation, from inception - placement, layering and integration. Legend

I'm not surprised that his bills were higher quality than the cartel ones. This guy was basically hand-making the bills, almost like an artisan counterfeiter whereas I assume the cartel stuff is mass-produced. As is usually the case, the small-scale hand-made stuff is better than the mass-produced stuff.

The fact that he was so skilled what he did that he became a production manager for a printing company 👌

What an inspiration. Im going to start counterfiting my own bills. Thank you so much.

I lived in Knoxville for several years and actually remember some this on the local news. Pretty cool to see what became of of Mr. Turner, and to admit it really didn't lead to long-term success and ultimately cost him almost everything anyway. Keep truckin' man.

I appreciate how this guy did wrong, admitted his mistakes, did his time and has moved on. I wish him the best!

"Still printing, just nothing illegal." Great ending line. Glad he's getting his life back on track.

I'm north of Knoxville and yes many stores won't take $50 and $100 bills now. Gas stations, DG stores, etc... won't take anything above 20's now.

Always the sign of an intelligent, well-edited report when its broken into chapters like this.

Forever ago, I was at a gas station and paid with cash. The lady said it was counterfeit and she pulled out a stack of "counterfeit bills" and slapped it on the stack. I told her to give it back, but she said she couldn't do that. I was pissed. I asked her how, and she said she couldn't see something you are supposed to see. And I showed her she didn't know what she was talking about as I could see it. And I told her to give it back or call the police. So an officer came out and said it was real. And so she gave it back, but the whole ordeal took like an hour. So she had been confiscating people's money saying it was counterfeit. Though her explanation is someone took a counterfeit bill, and the owner said they'd be fired if they took another counterfeit bill.

As a DG manager, can confirm a vast majority of our stores do NOT accept $50s or $100s simply because so many fakes come through. In reality, I'd suspect almost everyone has accidently used a counterfeit bill without ever even knowing it.

A man of commitment. You see him as a criminal, i see him as a genius.

Secret Service: "We're running low on criminals to catch" Insider: "No problem sir, we'll help create some for you guys"

The minute the guy talked about getting involved with the drug dealer, I knew it was the way he got caught. Drug dealers will always drop a dime on their colleagues when they’re arrested. Should have paid the dealer with his clean money.

I love how a national fugitive that took years and the Secret Service to track down in printing counterfeit money now works as a production manager in a printing shop.

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?

I love how he admits going to prison was for the best and came out a better man. It's almost as if prisons should rehabilitate rather than punish.
