| Chinese Counterfeit Coins From eBay Lead To Man's Arrest
Man charged with coin fraud
A Canadian man allegedly bought several Chinese counterfeit coins from a Hong Kong seller on eBay and sold some to a "collector store". (The coins are thought to be from Hong Kong so technically they would not be Chinese.) This genius returned a couple of months later to sell another fake coin but by then the storeowner had identified the earlier coins as fakes and confronted the seller who fled. Cops arrested the mastermind at his home a few days later. A search of the home yielded 42 counterfeit coins. Quote: |
The man is facing charges of uttering counterfeit money and possession of counterfeit money.
| I know what you are thinking - This could have been the perfect crime. How could such a well-thought-out plan fail?
