As of December 2006 there wer 2,258,983 prisoners in Federal or State prisons or in local jails. Approximately 2% of those prisoners were in for check fraud. None of those prisoners could hold a checkbook to Chrles Ray Fuller though. Fuller attempted to cash a check at a Forth Worth Bank for $360 billion.
Apparently the cashier was suspicious of the check amount and called the check’s original owner. Fuller’s girlfriend’s mother stated she knew nothing of the check and that Fuller was not authorized to take or cash the check. It seems that she didn’t bother telling the bank employee whether her account balance could cover the amount.
Arrested under suspicion of fraud, in addition to unlawfully carrying a weapon and marijuana possession, Fuller claimed that the money was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record label.
Fuller was released today after posting a $3,750 bail.. most likely using a check he stole from someone else.
Carbon neutral pledge:
How do people think they can get away with this type of fraud, unless his girlfriends mother is the one who sends out all those emails!
