Came up on hard times...thought of a way out. Advice?

So I'm going to try and keep this sweet and simple I don't feel like typing a book to convince you all why I'm not a bad person, or why I'm in the situation I'm in you're just going to have to take my word for it.

So long story short dated this girl for 8+ years since we were very very young my line of work has generally been music industry related, (not like cool teenager look at me sweet brag kind of way but like actually touring and working in the music industry) and she hated it and could never trust me so I gave up my dreams for her and moved to selling weed and doing media work design/video ect regardless we slowly drifted apart.

well finally she decides to leave me and withdraws a pretty much all of our money from the bank account before asking me to sign my name off the account. I go to small claims and they (of course) award her the judgement.

SOOOOOOOOO left pretty much completely broke, currently I am not in a position to pick up a shit part time job and can't travel currently because I've been out of that line of work for a minute and I need money like yesterday. I'm pretty bad off.

Now lets not talk morality here but there is this dealer in the area who is a huge ass, notorious for robbing and stealing, treating women like complete shit, in other words he has it coming. Thought about looking into movie prop money. Asking for a Qp or something to put myself back on and I think you get where this is going....

NOW he has it coming but my question to you is this. Movie prop money doesn't hold the same charge as actual counterfeit money right? like lets say this dumbass doesn't even notice and tries to go spend that shit. Does that come back on me? I have a pretty solid cover seeing as I literally shoot music videos for rappers and have prop money for that reason. I just don't want this dumbass trying to spend it and that coming back on me.

If you really want to know more about my story I will go into more detail. I've worked with your favorite artists (with proof) and would be happy to share stories ect. This is my first reddit post. Thanks

So your plan is to buy drugs from a dealer notorious for violence using fake money? After admitting that you can't leave the area?

Don't forget the movie prop gun to go with your movie prop money.

I don't know this person, I would say your probably not going to get shot over a quarter pound. Who knows maybe just out of principle ? There are people who get shot over twenty dollars ? Movie prop money will hold the same charge as counterfeit money bro. Your not allowed to copy money unless you enlarge by 20%. In fact copy machines have anti counterfeit protections built in. You can bypass them by placing a clear vellum on the glass before you copy but still most digital printers will hide a serial number in the print for secret service.

I don't think secret service cares if drugs or groceries where to be bought. You don't have a pass because you make rap videos for your friends, get that out of your head. Is this guy your jacking going to tell the police you bought drugs from him with Monopoly money ? Probably not. If he gets caught however trying to spend them then there is a chance he will rat you out to get himself off the hook. That's probably definitely what would happen.

Do I think the guy would be so stupid to spend it ? No, I think it's all a pretty stupid idea. Your movie prop money is so fake looking he is not going to give you the drugs in the first place. Secret Service isn't really interested in investigating movie prop money they are looking. For high quality prints. If you where to go through with this stupid idea of yours I wouldn't jack someone you know, that could find you.

Just see if you can't get something on the front or hustle up some media work. When talking about morality, just because dude is a thief doesn't mean you have to be. Does this guy deserve to be taken. ? Possibly he does. Why even pay him at all ? Why not jack him for all his drugs ? Using fake money doesn't make it any better either way. You can find justification for just about anything when in dire straights. It's drugs, dude isn't going to go to the cops if you pull movie prop gun out and jack him. That is a bad idea as well.

I have a friend who was getting jacked for his drugs and shot the people trying to jack him. The cops found his drugs in his safe and found the guys he shot at the hospital, one of them died because of the gun shot wounds. My friend just did a month in jail for the drugs and didn't do any time for killing someone because they entered his home. So I don't think you should use a movie prop gun either to jack this fool because he could kill you and get away with it, what then your dead. It's the same thing with a movie prop gun, the police are not going to care your gun is fake if you get caught using it to rob someone.

sounds like a good way to get hurt

You don't knoooooow me.

This is a good way to get hurt, friend. He might be a shitstain, he might get popped for holding fake money and disappear... but people have ties. Maybe he rides, maybe he's in a gang, maybe he just has a buddy who he can tell "Jazzy Jeff gave me fake money."

You aren't the first person to think of fucking over a heavyweight. You might think he has it coming, personally I think you deserve the retribution that comes after you try. You're going to get hurt, bad or permanent, and it's because you're stealing from the dude.

The law wouldn't be my worry, is what I'm trying to convey.


[2 Points] Thriz_whistle:

Sure, please post proof of working with these artists so you can break confidentiality with them and incriminate yourself in your stupid criminal escapade.

Your depression and despair are about to push you into making a bad decision and exponentially multiplying that depression and despair to the point of complete rock-bottom failure or even worse.

I recommend some deep breathing and regrouping. Establish new goals, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, go outside and suck in that loving oxygen, balance your chi, smoke meth, rape and kill a hooker and denounce christ as your savior.

Tread slow my friend... Life isn't a rap music video ;-)


[1 Points] Xpenda:

he has it coming

You're a fucking douchebag OP. Get up off your high horse and work hard for you damn money like everyone else. I hope you try to rip him off and he puts a cap in your ass.


[1 Points] None:

If you do it, remember to wear gloves when handling it. Use rubber bands and when you hand off the money, use your knuckles to hold it by the bands to look "extra fly" to this dealer.

Good luck, I guess.

A lot of toxic responses, yikes!


[1 Points] ShulginsCat:

Does movie prop money even feel like real money? I thought it was only sposed to look good on camera


[1 Points] None:

Continue working. Acquire marketable skills. Get better paying jobs that require those marketable skills.

Get another girlfriend.

Don't turn your life into a second rate thriller movie.

DO IT!! It'll work out wonderfully!! What could possibly go wrong??? =\


[1 Points] EastOaklandCase_Boys:

LOL, bruh, you're asking for your shitty life to get even worse. I'm telling you, DO NOT GIVE A DBOY FAKE MONEY! Your dream, is a just a dream. If you follow this dream of giving a real "top shotta" fake money, you will become a story in your city. Bruh, think about what you're about to do. I don't know what Dboys in the suburbs are like, I'm assuming they're white and resemble Eminem and like to "portray" that Dboy lifestyle they listen to in their "trap style music list," but if this is your typical Dboy from the hood, trust me, they have VERY good memories, and have ways to lure people out and have "mistaken identiity" stories happen all the time. That's all I'm gonna say. Your bitch did you bad, I understand that, but think about your future. A future of prison, death, getting a job, going back to school, ect. Think about it.

Theres no money to be made in selling weed man. Especially if you factor risk vs reward. Spend $300 on an oz of MDMA from Europe. If you're really in the music scene then it'll fly out of your pocket and you should be able to atleast triple your money. Repeat as necessary.
