Living with the Antichrist (4 of 6)
Series: Authentic Christianity

1 John 2:18 - 3:10
Crooks have been counterfeiting money ever since its inception. In antiquity, gold coins were filled with lead. When I was a boy slugs were used in vending machines. Today, you can counterfeit money in the privacy of your own home because of easy access to laser printers.
You just watched a four-minute-clip clip about Frank Bourassa. Bourassa took great pride in his counterfeiting abilities! He bought special paper from Switzerland and Germany, and even though he got caught he spent little time behind bars, while profiting $50 million!
Anatasios Arnouti produced thousands of bills on a daily basis. He was eventually caught by Detective Nick Lewis. Lewis said the operation was so big that it threatened to undermine the economy of Great Britain and the United States!
According to the FBI, Arthur Williams produced the most authentic-looking $100 bills in the world! He adapted the security features on his counterfeit bills which the United States Treasury eventually copied. But, he got caught in Alaska while visiting his father. Dad, it seems, couldn't resist bragging about his son to an undercover cop! Somewhere I've heard that, ''Pride goes before the fall.''
Albert Talton printed $7 million in fake bills. His story, however, is unique because he was a self-taught printer. He got most of his information at Staples. In fact, that's how he got caught. Talton went to Staples for so much ink they called the FBI! The FBI installed cameras at Staples, they surveilled his house 24-hours-a-day, they bugged his cell-phone and online activity, and one day Troy Stroud, a Secret Service Agent, ate at the same Popeyes restaurant - saw Talton use a fake $20 bill - and his arrest is now history.
The Secret Service prints a pamphlet titled Know Your Money that explains how to detect counterfeit money. As odd as it sounds, their training does not include how to re ...
