The Guy Who Printed $250 Million in Fake Cash… and Barely Went to Jail
1
Imagine just printing out cash.
It was almost that easy for Frank Bourassa.
The Canadian from Quebec pulled off what investigators consider the largest counterfeiting operation ever run by a single person.
He produced roughly $250 million in near-perfect fake U.S. $20 bills between 2008 and 2012.
And?
After authorities finally caught him… he served just six weeks in jail.
