Lol

Well played Sir.....

😂😂😂 right I would like to learn just for educational purposes as well haha

Asking for a friend 🤣

​@@tfptravel.food.peace.3788 haha 😊

Lol you know you described the guy I knew decades ago that dabbled in that crap and he was one of the smartest people I know, I mean this guy was a genius but had a drug problem and used his brain power to scam which is sad! Haven't seen him in about 20 years and wondering if he turned his life around

Drugs kill in the end

That is not recognition,its hilarious😂😂 Those dumb asses😂

Artists are the biggest narcissists on the planet.

Craft, not art

@@jaydubya3698 True, a real supreme technician, impossible for me not to feel a "kind of respect" - I don't advocate it. he asked about the lessons to learn, forgot the biggest & most obvious "quit while you're ahead". Easier said than done, ultimate self-discipline required. Not a real career choice.

@@daffyduk77 Exactly. He sounds like a he's a master craftsman, but not an artist.

Matt Cox interviewed him too

@@sumtxflygrl1 : Unlike Matt, Mark let's his interview subjects talk when he asks a question with interrupting and going off on a tangent like Matt does.

too bad he didnt take his smarts and finish college.

Diploma does what 2day

He is at a better lexel of opportunities

My exact thoughts

Sounds like the ending of catch me if you can.

right? it makes me wonder what kind of art would be out there if becoming a well-compensated artist was more accessible, or a more possible goal for more people.

Did he?

Makes me wonder que eres mas wango

He saw a window of opportunity and took it. Exploited a minut crack in the system nothing more nothing less. Personally I would have told the Secret Service to get fucked because after I'm out you know I'm going big time like to Russia or China to devalue the dollar 💵💰 even more. Once a criminal always a criminal. He'll be back...on the smack and printing quality fake jack.(Bonus points for an unintentional rhyme)

He could own a chain of print shops.

With the hustlers, I always think “if you would apply this hard work and ingenuity to legit enterprises you’d be killin’ life.” I mean, he’s doing this shit while on heroin and still making top-notch counterfeits.

​@Aaron B what defines legit? I get what he did lowers the value of a dollar for all of us, but is his crime any worse than the federal government printing phony money they can't back while increasing the federal deficit every day? The point where the law makers and law enforcers stop playing by the rules is the point where outlaws become legit in my opinion.

He could probably get a job working for the Federal Reserve. 😆

I agree, he's definitely not your average criminal/drug addict.

Arthur Williams Jr had a book written on him that supposedly goes into the process of how he does things. Then there's that Canadian guy, who's supposedly the "best" fake maker.

@@timaosborn wow

​@@timaosborn yeah right

@@timaosborn noob

Definitely one of the most interesting. I'm sure everyone watched it until the end.

Yea fr! Like starting an only fans but we pay to learn how to make the money 😁

He will do very well if he can stay sober.

@Brent Barnhart - _/Thumbs up/_ Reading your post from Glasgow. Your currency is different from ours. I was told years ago that British counterfeiters use egg whites on bank notes to give the paper bank note the same texture. Grippy and thicker feel. I find the technical intricacies and know-how really interesting. I knew a U.S. billionaire I met in Lisbon that showed me their US notes and explained they were “cotton based paper”. Britain now has plastic notes which are strange, flimsy and tear easy. Your job is extremely interesting. && skilled. You have a proper job in fact.

Interesting...

@@De5O54 Thanks. US Money would have been very easy for my company to duplicate years ago. But most counterfeiters don't have million dollar presses. It's normally done using crap machines, or by hand as he described. NOW that use money has all kinds of plastic strips, and holograms, etc. "personally" I would say that was near impossible. Listening to this guy, FASTINATING. But knowing his skill in our industry, understanding of design, screens, and then his just plain ingenuity is amazing. As you said, the trickiest part is THE PAPER. It is NOT, paper US money is 75% cotton and 25% linen. AND, it has red and maybe some blue fleck fibers inside of it. On very rare occasions, in my entire career, we printed on paper that was very close to money. (It was very expensive.) Not paper but cotton, etc. and we had to REGISTER to buy it, and account for every single sheet, all waste, disposal, etc. it wasn't exact, but close enough it could have been the basis to counterfeit and fool people. I have traveled the world extensively as both an entertainer and an engineer, but I have not been to Germany since 1986 when I was performing with an 80 piece orchestra from the USA. I remember as a 16 year old boy at the time, I was enthralled by the "McBeer" at McDonalds.

Come and work with me! I have something different that isn't so predictable , for a project. Mind you, you're probably comfy in your présent situation, no need to go risking everything for a get rich quick idea with someone you don't know. But I bet,now and again you make yer own money, not to pass off as real, but just for the sake of the ART of it... like a perfect bill but George Washington or whoever has a runny nose or a five o'clock shadow or a spliff, anything, but perfectly done. You do stuff like that occassionally ? It must be easier for you with all your uptodate equipment than it was for Jeff. I'd like to share a few beers with someone like you and Jeff, there's loads of stuff I'd like to talk to you about. (That's just presuming you're American... Whatever nationality,am sure you get the jist !)

@@letuswrap 😆 it is, indeed.😉

Catch 22...

Jeffs going to be okay.

Man I know just opiates alone will absolutely destroy your life in the blink of an eye. You’ll go down with a smile of falseness because when it’s flowing through you… everything is all good… as soon as it stops… it is living hell and everything you’ve been putting off plus the worst physical and mental anguish all hits you like a Mack truck… at once. It’s the worst thing to ever happen to myself and I’m sure millions of other people can relate to me and everything I’m saying.

​@@FLINTmitten810I have never done them, but I still feel you on this entirely.

"The [deficit] spending is the [inflation] tax." -Ron Paul kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nt5hacRol9DDj2w.html

That's for sure...I break a little inside everytime I break a hundred....because I know it's gone after that. Getting tough out here for the lower class, even some middle class.

Years ago I had saved for about two years to get a guitar that I really wanted, super high-end. I almost had a panic attack buying it. What was supposed to be one of the best days of my life was anything but. I was second-guessing myself the entire time on the drive to the store and while I was in the store and after I got home I almost didn’t want to touch it initially. I’m glad I got over that and I still have the instrument and I love it and play it all the time, but there was nothing fun about that day.

@@riceflatpicking4954 I can relate ten fold. About a year ago I spent a good chunk on a custom subwoofer box for my car as I am into the car audio hobby. I knew the enclosure would be worth it as well as the craftsmanship....BUT....man was it hard to let go. Always lurking in the back of my head was the thought "should have I spent that much" or "that could've went towards mortgage or an emergency " All in all, I am super happy after all is said and done and do not regret it one bit. Glad your guitar purchase gave you some happiness and enjoyment....that's what it's about, that's what makes it worth it.

Lol yea but at least with real money you don't have to worry about the feds kicking in your door.

I agree with this. multiple times I’ve squirreled away large amounts of money for things and there’s always this sick feeling like fuck it I don’t wanna buy it or shouldn’t of bought it

I want to know if Mark knows that ‘Soft White Underbelly’ refers to a crocodile. _/scratches chin/_ Really stunning monochrome photo images notwithstanding. (I am a camera-head). Yes, aye, a huge diverse variety of folks and folkettes.

​@@De5O54 I wouldn't be surprised but Soft White Underbelly is an old reference to the rock group Blue Oyster Cult 😉

In god we trust

He's still getting high.

@@tashal6739 you assume. Did you actually listen to his story?

Dude definitely seems like he's feeling a little sick at the moment.....could be wrong though

The way his nose is running...seems like he did some Coke or Amphetamine before the Interview 😅😳

​@@DJPHARONEhe has a cold. He flat out said he is clean now.

Yeah he's a fascinating dude.

Thanks!

@@wrath231 HE IS very cunning and clever, BUT shopping in same area regularly was dumb lol. his drug problem took him down.

@@janecoe9407 . Sometimes you get a bit lazy cos you need to get something done quick, you take the chance, if it means you got the required result an hour or so sooner. Being junk sick can make you make short cuts you wouldnt do if you werent in such a state of URGENCE. In the end though, it was someone else who turned him over.

@Nick Long. Where did you find the other interviews, please ? I can't just Google "Jeff"!!😅 Mind you, I suppose, i should try "reformed counterfitter Jeff", that might work. 👍

Yea you can tell he doesn’t regret printing the money, just the cause of it, which was being on drugs

Don’t Print 💵 I guess lol 💀💀

Underrated comment

Hope wranglerstar gets psychiatric help before he goes full on unabomber... 😢

Good idea, I like!

There is actually a film in development

@@jeffreypatrickturner name?

Things could still be different for him.

Man I'm smart as hell I wish people would stop saying that crap being smart doesn't mean anything today, you have to also be able to follow the rules or be willing to break the rules, but when you're smart enough you know it doesn't matter if you follow the rules but you're too smart to be evil, you get stuck in a no mans land that leaves you marginal at best. Just the act of questioning anything will get you fired easily, if you're not questioning everything then life goes more smoothly, but an intelligent thinking person can't just magically flip a switch that makes you not question and think, because you'd think before you turn it off, it's impossible.

If he had figured out his niche in the system legally like Mark, he'd likely be a millionaire right now. It's still possible man.

Someone who says "samwich" isn't bright enough to not get caught eventually.

He served like 9 months 😂😂 bro got away with it tbh. .

Very true. Even with murder. People usually get caught because they either open their mouth or, after a highly successful run, don’t know when to stop.

Who is it? We probably know of him.

I know right! Was thinking the same. But seems like if he does it again I’m thinkin they will know it’s him.

I wonder if his lawyer was stressed out when he handed over the cash for the retainer?

@@Bdamazyn 😂😂

Books and movies are coming. Follow Jeff.

Thx very much but it’s 8:30pm here in Australia 👍

🐐

not really

I’ve actually already optioned the rights to my story to a production company and there is a film in development now!

Thanks!

@@standingvertical3048 You DO know everyone has a right to his/her opinion??? Be gone.

Me too. Love this channel

Non addict, non sexual abuse, more career type ones easier to hear.

He said he was a drug addict.

Agree, all the sniffling makes you wonder

he looked a lil sick......maybe just a cold like we all get though......

@@kirkdunn1379 I'm guessing it's allergy season in Knoxville, TN, because I live in Nashville, and pollen counts are high here.

😂 I was like "must be the current YT comment trend"

Yup, I learned how to forage Rx's, among other things. So glad that life is behind me.

My mom use to forge scripts as well & steal real doctors pads from doctors visits as well back n the day but she changed her life around cause she got caught. I wonder if it was easy then cause of doctors writing on pads & people learned how to write like the doctor.

@Haleema 3814 It was easy, you nailed it, I did that to back in the day

@@AliciaM5555 Me too

@@jrtaylor2288 wow! My mom end up going to jail but not for a long stay on a few days cause my mom was also sick and couldn’t walk the day they found her because she had been hiding. I would call my parents functional because nobody would or could ever tell because my dad had a good job kept my mom and me and brother together ect. I just remember all this because I was a kid and never forget the day they came to get her to go to jail🥺it wasn’t my father doing any of the forging stuff he was actually disappointed but when ur back been together for years I guess he stuck beside but just didn’t participate in her wrong doings. I could tell u so many stories she’s told me lol, of how her and her buddies would get away with it. It was that easy huh!

Nice! I went to St. Petersburg College as well…

Me too. Lived in Pinellas from '81-'96. Seminole High. SPJC. USF.

4:13am here in SoCal. Warm dry and perfect weather! PTL

Sounds terrible tbh. I'll stick with my moderate humidity and moderate snow location. Insects are smaller and the views are ever changing. You have a wonderful day as well!

@Eidelmania Being creative and artistic produces art. His art in this specific situation was the counterfeit money. What I was commenting on was that art runs in his genetics. To look at the world and recognize pattern, colors, mixing different materials to copy /paste something you see to its highest possible duplicate. This is amazing. I have an eye for art, colors, etc... I can't describe the reasons why something looks pleasant or the right color scheme, I just go by intuition. And most of the times a lot of people comment on how my artistic perspective is beautiful. I see that in him. I hope he uses his skills in a productive way... He's an artist at heart. PS. Do you know how difficult it is to color match an eyeshadow to recreate the hallow effect? Even to have the idea to use make up. Mind blowing.

@Eidelmania Making money

Jeff is my best friend. He actually is a good artist. Hit him up and buy one of his hand drawn $100 bills. Jeff is also a great guitar player with an understanding of chemistry.

@@APX1138 . I already found him really interesting and now I just really wanna get to know him , play some tunes and hang out with him. But I wouldnt wanna lead him back down any of the wrong paths.

Bad? The government prints money every day. Especially this new Biden administration. Not being political just telling facts.

Hallo from Glasgow. I genuinely was waiting for him to say that he got charged with something and that he used the counterfeit notes as bail money.

@@De5O54 Hello from Dublin. Your answer is pure Irvine Welsh! Even though your a "Weegie". :-)

GM Roc, have a great Sunday My friend!!!

Good morning to you 🤗 from Ft Lauderdale Florida

Much love from Chicago, where it’s 5:19am ❤

Hey Ro!👋😃 Right back atcha love!🫵😉 Peace and Love. 51° here and gonna rain all day again, but not as heavy as yesterday. Enjoy your day Ro.

That is what my arresting officer told me as well… I think that’s why they “liked” me so much… they said it was rare to come across a professional counterfeiter and they spend most of their days tracking down teenagers and prop movie money…

Hugs. I hope you're doing well in your recovery. Drugs definitely do not discriminate. I like to point to the example of Prince. He had all the wealth and fame, was deeper in his faith later in life, and still couldn't beat his addictions.

Thanks! And shout out to Matt Cox!

Yeah … runny nose

I got burned once by a $100 Bill that fooled the pen. Best way I found out was the magnetic ink in the bill. Probably a way to counterfeit but every fake since has been busted by this.

I was able to replicate the textured ink by using a fine tip invisible glue pen to give the “shirt” texture…

@@jeffreypatrickturner Thats amazing.

I’m the same way. Love to watch but love even more to keep up on the whittakers.

Yeah, I’ve been noticing that

Just buy some heroin and ask for your change in hundys yo.
