Counterfeit Bust (Craigslist, not DNM) but with golden nugget RE: DNMs inside report

APRIL 14--A 20-year-old man who allegedly manufactured phony $20 bills in his Florida bedroom is facing federal charges after investigators were tipped to a Craigslist ad he placed offering "Legit counterfeit $$," according to court records.

In addition to hand-to-hand transactions, Torbert was apparently eying an online business expansion. In a January post to Reddit's "Money" subreddit, he asked, "Can anyone help me get to the dark web or black market reloaded will pay cash." He included the same cell phone number that was listed in the Craigslist ads. Black Market Reloaded was one of several popular marketplaces on the so-called dark web, where narcotics, weapons, counterfeit currency, fake IDs, and other illegal items were sold by vendors.

Posted on /r/money that he'd pay someone cash to get him onto BMR and listed his cell #. WOW! THIS is what the low-hanging fruit LEOs feed on looks like, folks. 100% unadulterated retard. Don't be a retard.

Wow. That's not even low-hanging fruit. That is a potato.

“Can anyone help me get to the dark web or black market reloaded will pay cash.”

That's fascinating, especially inasmuch as BMR has been gone for well over a year now.

I don't believe someone that fucking stupid could have the skills necessary to make counterfeit USD. No way. Maybe he paid someone to show him how to get to Agora for some funny money and started selling that...on craigslist apparently. OMG. RETARD.

“Legit counterfeit $$,”

If you were capable of making counterfeit money worth buying, why would you sell it? No one would expect to pay face value, so you would lose value with each sale.

Selling counterfeit money would expose you to law enforcement while diminishing your capital.

Just when I think people can't get any more stupid, this guy has to come along and show me I'm wrong.

Just remember everybody. Anything you type or do, can and will, be used against you in the court of law.
