I read this story by The Associated Press … and because Riley is serving a mission in Argentina (Okay, so he’s at the MTC right now, but still!) I had to share it with you!
Money too funny: Argentine court forgives forgery
BUENOS AIRES— An Argentine man who tried to use two counterfeit bills has been found innocent, by reason of incompetence.
A federal court in Buenos Aires says the forged bills presented by Marcos Ribles were “so clumsy and crude” that “they could not be accepted by most people.”
The court says the 65-year-old man tried to pass a false 100-peso Argentine note, nominally worth about $26, as well as a false U.S. $50 bill.
Judges say the counterfeit bills had such shoddy printing and poor-quality paper that nobody could be fooled.
The court announced its ruling dismissing the charges on Wednesday.
