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.

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.

He explained it the same way as this guy does. With the spray can and pressing paper together. The dude I knew was a commercial fisherman and when he would be in the middle of the pacific he would order this specific paper from Germany and have it delivered to random addresses in Hawaii. He would wait outside the address and wait for the delivery. He said the hardest part was laundering it. He sold a bunch to a dude, and that was what ended up getting him caught.

Con men (and women) are the best kind of SWU interviews, to me. This was fascinating -- he was so articulate and offered such elaborate details, down to using Bibles for the proper kind of paper! It sounds as if he was able to parlay getting caught into getting clean and becoming a better (and more famous) person, but I was left wondering if he thinks it all was worth it.

I had 2 buddies that got into counterfieting in college and ended up getting busted by the secret service. They were turning 5 dollar bills into 50s. Had the $3k laser printer and the press and everyting. We were all strung out and when that money started coming in it made all our habits way worse. That led to selling a lot of drugs as well. A lot of drug dralers burned with fake money made a lot of enemies and lost friends, with access to that type of power, if you will. My buddies were taking taxis to get around out of paranoia, nd it turned out that some of the taxi drivers who drove them were actually undercover. They werent interested in weed or drugs they wanted the fake money. When i recall that time (10 years ago) its so wild to think that actually happened. Awesome video as usual Mark

@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.

I used to think addiction was exclusive to people that weren't smart, like myself. I thought how could someone intelligent be susceptible to such insane and idiotic behaviour. After going to a few NA meetings I realised that this disease (of the mind) doesn't discriminate at all, and that actually a great number of addicts are very intelligent.
@craftygirl9666 Жыл бұрын
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.

If he hadn't been busted by an informant, which was probably not how they first found out about him, he still would have been caught pretty easily. He said he traveled around to spend, but spent most of it in his hometown. Just map out where the bills have been found, start tracing back to local stores, review the cameras, done. Having the informant just makes it easier to prove, vs. trying to establish exactly what bills he used at the store, getting warrants with just the video, ect.
