Counterfeit $100 Dollar Bills

[Hiiiiiiii]

So I was in my local Bodega here in NYC trying to purchase some lottery tickets. There was this guy in front of me who was just giving tons of numbers to the lotto man while pacing around holding one c note and acting weird.

Then all of a sudden, the lotto man goes "I don't have change." As soon as the guy heard that, he bolted out of the store leaving his lotto tickets and opened/unpaid for soda behind. He didn't say much as he was running out but, "You got no change, so you have no change..."

So I get to talking with the lotto man, as he is flipping out about that guy, and he tells me this is a very common thing. He told me he spotted the fake bill and that he goes through thousands of dollars of fake $100s every week.

I think it's interesting that these guys are basically extorting the lotto with counterfeit bills.

Thoughts?
