That's one quality headline ya got there, Lou.

I'm pretty sure they own a lot more than that.

That's one fine headline.

That's the best headline I've seen all day.

Bet they were done in crayon

But does he have a bridge in Brooklyn he'd like to sell me?

He looks legit to me.

Wanted for questioning

Not Amused.

/linked

He was going to buy a house down there before heading off to Italy to sell the fake notes to the Russians using Japanese mules.

Outstanding headline!

Good one subby!

/guy looks attractive and successful

FTFA: Norris, 57, was charged with residential mortgage fraud and is being held in the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

I lost it right there.

/love being so easily amused

Run, Forest, Run!

There haven't been paper treasury notes in a while, it's all electronic. What a moran.

But he used his HP printer to print those notes!

/can't fix stupid

"When investigators executed a search warrant at the suspect's home, they discovered "additional fraudulent bonds were being printed on printers," Schiralli said."

So says Professor N. S. Sherlock...

Of course his name wasn't China silly. He was obviously from Russia.
//you know Georgia in the Caucus region...
///got nothin

Capt. O.B. Vious is intrigued.

To be fair the guy could have had some kind of printing press rather than a printer. Alternatively he could have been making photo copies.

So since I know nothing and googling is beyond me, aren't promisary notes used between private parties? Treasury notes are issued by the Government?

/knows nothing
/proved it

I could be wrong but this sounds a lot like the UCC people that do this all the time.. The book "cracking the code" explains this in more detail, and purports to claim why its legal (watch though its based on false tenants).

Excellent headline!

Mortgage fraud is just so 2007.

Priceless! I am sure you meant tenets instead of tenants. :)

Those damn false tenants! I told them to pay rent!

I like axioms, myself. As a math geek, I appreciate constructs built upon axioms and don't appreciate those built on shaky ground...or false "tenants". >=)

/Math rocks!
//Math professor = cool job!

Dad?

Might have been a press, or a plotter.

How long until it's retro-cool?

I think your definition of "cool" is built on false tenets.

Or leave them is restaurant bill folds during busy hours.

That reminds me...gotta stock up on ink...

hes going to jail

jingks: Sqrxz: Math professor = cool job!

I think your definition of "cool" is built on false tenets.

Oh? Or perhaps YOUR definition of "cool" is the problem, or perhaps what you believe to be my definition of "cool" is incorrect.

The important thing is that it is tied to the word "job". As a phrase, it is mildly reminiscent of an oxymoron. However, there is sound reasoning behind my bold statement.

Math professor is a cool job.
proof:

1) I can choose the vast majority of my work hours. I am only in the classroom less than 20 hours per week, and the rest of the time (prep, grading, etc.) does not have to be arranged in a typical 8-5 setting (I prefer late nights).

2) Very interesting colleagues, they being the source of the majority of my intellectual stimuli (also include NPR).

3) Cheap meals in the cafeteria (with only mildly questionable food quality).

4) Teaching panders to my personality and ego (I like to be the center of attention and the authority figure on a topic).

5) Some students make the job rewarding (of course, others do not, but this category is a net positive).

What else could one ask for? A competitive salary perhaps? Well...at least the benefits are good.

VERY COOL

Q.E.D.

Dennis Green has really hit rock bottom.

I thought the kids these days were using penny slugs.

The problem with this sort of crime (printing fake money/documents) is that once you start you know you'll keep going and it's going to sound like a big deal when you're done. It doesn't take too many $225k notes to be printed to start adding up to a big sum. Like if they searched his house a day later it probably would have twice as much.

Basically, probably no counterfeiter stops after the first couple $20 bills ...

Anyway, since they're going after him, I hope they also go after the Fed. Someone's gotta stop those guys from printing more money.

That reminds me, what ever happened to those Japanese blokes who got arrested somewhere in Europe with approximately one gazillion dollars in fake bonds?

How stupid must this guy be? I just want to ask him what he thought was going to happen after his funny-money note got passed around?

(A) It would never be discovered because he was able to find the secret flaw in the United States monetary/treasury/banking system.

(B) Somebody would figure it out but would be too embarrassed to admit they made a mistake and so wouldn't trace it back to him and instead, just write it off.

(C) Some kind of misunderstanding of our legal system that once its accepted by the seller, they cannot come back to him, it's just the seller's problem.

(D) Crack is whack.

is he a recently retired bank of america executive?

/and I thought his name was gonna be Bubba.

Okey dokey, lets see what we got baking in the oven. Yeah, ya, ya, ya, ya. Not yet a match. Ok well, it looks like we are about one degree Celsius off on that ah magenta color. What I can do is quantify the 7F reading. To me they're just a little bit off, what I can do on that is run a pap smear, and that should even it out.

Headline. Win.

He looks like a fat Denzel Washington...

You can waterboard your 4 year old daughter and be out on $10,000 bond but present counterfeit treasury notes for a mortgage that didn't even happen and there is no bond.
We know our priorities.

Another +1 for subby's headline.
