<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1416587, member: 19065&quot;]Exactly, it&#039;s the Secret Service that is in charge of protecting the currency of the US. The OP made an error by inserting FBI in reference to the article. Coin World didn&#039;t call out the &#039;Secret Service&#039; in the title of the piece since the article talks about local law enforcement, so they opted for &quot;authorities&quot; in the title. But of course, the ultimate authority who is really authorized to deal with these crimes is the Secret Service. The article mentions &quot;multi-juristictional&quot; activity in this case and the enlistment of &quot;local law enforcement&quot; but those local authorities would be under the command of the Feds as it&#039;s their case&nbsp; and jurisdiction anyway. I&#039;d think the Feds more so needed local support and needed to include them in the alert to the local community of any ongoing investigation, operations or arrests being made by Federal authorities in those States.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding their approach, going straight for the head isn&#039;t always possible in a system where proof is needed. Sometimes (oftentimes?) the justice system has to work it&#039;s way up to the ring leader from the bottom. Sometimes the bottom feeders provide the &#039;necessary to convict&#039; evidence on the road to the top, and also the bottom feeders may tend to be more of a public nuisance spreading these and other crimes around local communities threatening general havoc and distress to everyday transactions and businesses, impacting individual people&#039;s lives. So much so, that these lower ranking criminals must be dealt with sooner. They are also that much easier to take off the streets with priors and not as much cover to keep them from being detained if observed active in illegal activities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
