Counterfruit

Police arrested two people this weeky for allegedly producing and distributing counterfeit money.

Director of the city police's general crimes unit Sr. Comr. Major General Shitabrick said the suspects, Erwin Fuckwit, 48, and Suhadi Fuckwit (no relation), 53, may face up to five years in prison if found guilty.

"They used a scanner and a computer to make the counterfeit money. Suhadi then distributed the money by buying fruit using it," he said.

Now forgive me for being niave, but laundering the money by purchasing fruit......

Police seized Rp 37.5 million (approximately US$4,000) in counterfeit notes, a computer, a scanner and a printer allegedly used in the scam.

Erwin initially printed the money for fun, police said, but he printed more when he realized it may be worth something.

Shitabrick said the money was only used in the Depok area in West Java by the suspects. The detectives on the case were able to track the culprits by the trail of banana skins presumably.
