Message:: [QUOTE="MajorMatt, post: 941091, member: 24597"]I never bought counterfeit money, but I had some in my possession, $500.00 in $100 and $50. I went to the bank to get some travelers checks. It seemed to take a lot longer than normal to get the travelers and I was asked to go to the Vice President office while they were getting the checks. Then two federal agents came into the office and read me my rights, and began to question me about the bills. After about a hour I was aloud to leave because I was able to tell them where I had gotten the bills. I had received them from the payroll office. and some how the counterfeit money had gotten past the bank where the payroll office got the money from. Granted this was in 1983. but some how I still think it is still illegal to have counterfeit money in your possession. To follow up, every person that had been paid by that payroll office as checked up on by the federal officers and the money paid out was checked, I did hear that more counterfeit money was collected. As far as what happened to the bank that the money came from, I have no idea. I did get my money back but it took a couple of weeks.[/QUOTE]
