Tennessee Gentle Lady Says Obama Passed Law To Permit Counterfeiting Money




[From article]
Police say that counterfeit bill was printed on computer paper and that each side had been glued together.
According to the Times News, Downs told the officer she received the money from a gas station a few days prior, but that she never inspected the bill.
Police then searched Downs’ purse and found a $100 bill which was also counterfeit. The Times News reports the bill was printed in black and white and that the back of the bill was printed upside down.
Police also found a receipt for a printer and copy paper in her purse.
“I don’t give a ****, all these other b****** get to print money, so I can too,” she reportedly told police when she was arrested.
The Times News reports that when Downs was at the jail, she told officers that she read online Obama created a law that permitted her to print her own money because she’s on a fixed income.
When officers searched her apartment, they found counterfeit bills totaling between $30,000 to $50,000.

Medford, MA Gentleman Sentenced To Prison For Counterfiet Transit Cards




[From article]
Casey Kolenda, 28, pleaded guilty today in Middlesex Superior Court to seven counts of counterfeiting and was sentenced to three years in state prison, Healey said.
[. . .]
The investigation in Kolenda revealed that he “orchestrated a scheme to fraudulently create counterfeit $70 monthly MBTA subway and bus passes, known as ‘LinkPasses,’ between October 2013 and March 2014,” the announcement read. “The electronic data stored on the LinkPass magnetic strip e was copied using a magnetic stripe reader, also known as a ‘skimmer.’ That data was then downloaded onto the magnetic stripes of hundreds of MBTA stored-value cards that were purchased for as little as five cents at ticket kiosks.”
The MBTA estimates that Kolenda is responsible for more than 60 counterfeit MBTA passes in circulation from October 2013 to March 2014 — investigators estimate that the lost revenue attributable to the counterfeit tickets made and sold by Kolenda was in excess of $225,000.

Harvard University's Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Objects To Immigration Abuses of White House

[From article]
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, believes that the Obama administration is “counterfeiting immigration documents” under the president’s immigration plan.
Speaking to Fox News following a federal judge’s decision to temporarily halt President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, the potential Republican presidential contender said the commander in chief is ignoring federal law.
“One of the things it points out is the president has claimed, rather absurdly, that the basis of his authority is ‘prosecutorial discretion.’ That he’s simply choosing not to prosecute 4.5 million people here illegally,” Cruz told Fox News. “But what the district court concluded, quite rightly, is they’re doing far more than that. The administration is printing work authorizations. It is affirmatively acting in contravention of federal law. Basically, what its doing is counterfeiting immigration documents, because the work authorizations its printing are directly contrary to the text of federal law. It is dangerous when the president ignores federal law.”
[. . .]
Hanen’s ruling late Monday night, in a case brought by 26 states led by Texas, said that Obama and his Homeland Security Department lacked the authority to take the actions they did.
“No statute gives the DHS the discretion it is trying to exercise here,” wrote Hanen, and he issued a stay blocking the actions from taking effect. His order was not a big surprise from a Republican-appointed judge who has showed a hard line on border issues.

Counterfeit $100 Bills Flooding New York City


[From article]
An international counterfeiting ring has been pumping millions of dollars in phony $100 bills into New York and other cities in the metropolitan area over the past several years, forcing the Secret Service to step up its operation to shut it down,
[. . .]
If you have a phony $100 that is confiscated, you will lose the value of the money but can declare a tax loss at the end of the year, officials said.

The latest article I read is that the best counterfeiters are based in Peru.

Man Charged With Passing Fake $100 Bills

Here's more distortion by lawyers and courts using psychiatry to mitigate crime. That suggests that being accused of mental illness causes crime. 

[From article]
His lawyer, Lynn Porecca of Attleboro, said her client was struggling
with drug and alcohol problems and untreated mental health issues. She
said that after a lengthy period of sobriety he had recently suffered
a relapse.
