Man busted in Calif. with billion dollar bills

Tue Mar 14, 8:22 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The counterfeit money looked good, but there was one flaw. There's no such thing as a one billion dollar bill.

U.S. Customs agents in California said on Tuesday they had found 250 bogus billion dollar bills while investigating a man charged with currency smuggling.

Tekle Zigetta, 45, pleaded guilty to three federal counts of trying to bring cash, phony bills and a fake $100,000 gold certificate into the United States in January.

Further investigation led agents to a West Hollywood apartment where they found the stash of yellowing and wrinkled one billion dollar bills with an issue date of 1934 and bearing a picture of President Grover Cleveland.

"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in," said James Todak, a secret services agent involved in the probe.

Where did he think he'd pass those off at? Dummymart? :dizzy:

You big dummy!

People are so dumb sometimes ohno:

to bad he can't use the money for bail-lol

:rofl:

Like the lady with the $1 million dollar bill who tried to use it at walmart for like $20 worth of stuff. Now even if there were a million dollar bill, would Walmart have change for it in the store, idiots.
