Yo I would definatley get rid of it or something. Some guys I know were into that counterfieting stuff and without any warning at all they had all sorts of federal dudes and police show up at their house and take them away. I haven’t heard from them since and this was almost 2 years ago.
I know people say “do the right thing” and turn them boys in, but think of it like this. What happens if they remember they left that shit in the piano and get busted? They’ll know it was you and maybe they’ll do something maybe they won’t but I wouldn’t test it.
id take it to the police, otherwise you dont know what may happen, taking it to them gets them out of your way and you wont end up getting caught out by it something
You’ll do what you’ll do, but even though it’s on ink jet, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a serious counterfeiting attempt. The paper that real bills are printed on is a completely different animal as everyone knows… Hard to mimic, expensive and complicated to reproduce. It’s in the realm of possibility that the bills you found were tests of some sort and you don’t actually have their final versions. There could be finger prints on that paper or other evidence that could lead to actual counterfeiter and not just someone screwing around. I’d say that as soon as you posted this on the internet, you have exposed yourself regardless of the actual intent and actions of the people that made the copies. Sure the chances are that the people or persons that did the deed were just screwing around, but you’re in it now. If you destroy it that’s up to you. If you don’t make any calls, that’s up to you. If somehow your thread winds up in the hands of the Secret Service or the Treasury Department, that’s on you. Good luck.
Though it looks like it’s not a very “pro” attempt at counterfeiting, one thing you need to keep in mind is that you’ve already posted about it here. Those pictures will never go away, nor will this thread so if you decide to do nothing someone may end up knocking on your door anyway. I’d at least make a call or two to find out the correct procedure…
Did you hear about the counterfeiter that messed up on the zero’s for $10 bills and decided it was easier just to change them to $18 bills? We went to some back woods store to change them in for legitimate bills; the clerk asked if he wanted the change in $3’s or $6’s.
I don’t know if the guy who sold the piano to me has a uni, but it’s probably a Torker CX but that he tried to pass off as a KH! But seriously, I guess no good deed goes unpunished, is that what you’re getting at?
Up until Billy weighed in so heavily I thought for sure that your next post would be from some maximum security prison. Smart idea not to shred the stuff. At least after you had mentioned it to any one other than your cat.
I think he was saying that the FBI cats wouldn’t dig your story about finding them… for example.
“Yah, Shaw you found dah phonies in da pyana seat. Jes as simple as all dat… If yool jes make us the oner of acumpaning us to the police offisah stashin…”
I don’t think you’d make a thread about making counterfiet money…
Yeah well that’s the lamest thing I’ve heard in a while. So basically, NOBODY should turn in [what they think may be] bogus bills for fear that they themselves will be suspected as the maker? That’s a good one. My only regret was posting about it here. I should have just turned it in without mentioning it here, because I should have known I’d get comments like that. Oh well. Thanks for your support.
Secret service guy came, flashed badge, very cool guy. Basically we made sure there weren’t any more prints among the sheet music. He found a couple more names written in a few of the piano books-probably piano teachers-thanked me and went on his way.
But seriously, I guess no good deed goes unpunished, is that what you’re getting at?
