Confessions: Master Counterfeiter Prints a Fortune - ABC News 

-We found 700 million dollars sir. -Did you say 500 million $? -Yes sir that’s right 200 million $.

This world will give you nothing. You gotta be a hustler and this man was. Well done

See kids, crime does pay.

Lesson here is if your going to do something do it well

He probably paid the fine in counterfeit 20's

He would have made more jail time stealing 20 dollars

Smart guy... he beat the system.. they should give him a high paying job in govenment to combat counterfeiting... like the best hackers of the computer systems...

Agents: don’t arrest him. He’s one of us. Hire him!!!

It just goes to show: If you are going to steal, steal big.

he isnt the best counterfeiter.... the best one is still out there, spitting out cash and NOT getting caught

What does the FED and Frank Bourassa have in common??? FIAT CURRENCY MADE FROM THIN AIR AND BACKED BY NOTHING.

He actually beat the U.S. system

In an other video, he stated he sold 50 million dollars. 30% of that is 15 million and he got away. Holy shit.

he's so good at counterfeiting that it wasnt really him in the interview and he counterfeited a get out of jail card? lol

This guy got the paper from Dwight at DUNDER MIFFLIN paper company lol

Why I am so proud of him for some reason?

1 month in jail and still have 50 million ahahahah

Someone needs to make this into a movie

This man should be appointed the Treasury Secretary by the Prime Minister in Canada. What a legend.

He played the game and won

I swear this was on my recommended I was not searching on how to make counterfeit money

There is no difference between these fakes and real notes. Both are fiat not backed by any precious metal.

he didn't even go to jail he gave the feds 200 million in fake bills and a printer and they took the charge away and he paid a 1500 dollers fine lol

Portuguese Alves dos Reis is the master of counterfeiting currency. He is in the Guiness Book of World Records having produced the equivalent to 1% of Portugal's GDP at the time, in the 1920s.

WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND A JOB TO MAKE MONEY 💵. ..YOU JUST BE THE MAN WHO MAKES THE MONEY 💵 ☺

The classic phrase in action...Go Big or Go Home. Well done!

Goes to show, when you put your mind to it, Anything is possible!!!

He is the Heisenberg of money. Purest of any kind

We need more people like him

Yo, this is actually CRAZY! Wow, what people can do when they thrive am I right? I know this is illegal, but good job

This dude only gave most of it back he kept 50 million respect

He ended up with 50 million 0 yrs in jail and a 1,500$ fine. He made 50 million in a year and a half

To me looks like the real guy paid this guy off, look at his eyes dart left and right everytime he says he did it....

Honestly, if all this high tech equipment just presented itself to any one of us we would probably do it too.

This guy is my hero. So proud when they said they found him in canada :)

"Well, uh, that was an undertaking." Best line in the video.

He’s proof that people can sound and look like idiots but still have a specialized talent or skill if they search themselves hard enough. He used that skill for illegal activity but those same skills could’ve been applied to something positive that could also have given him a legitimate career

So the only one who beats the US government is a French Canadian! That makes me proud to be Canadian! Lol

Now Canada is the biggest counterfeiter in the World! Lol. I bet that printer is running day and night.

He forgot to mention the part where he rats out everyone he knew to avoid jail time and a low fine

He's a snitch fo sure

Maybe he will end up worcking at the FED with his tallent !!

Damn he sold 50 million at 30% he made himself 15 million and only paid a 1500 dollar fine.

Somebody is definitely watching this guy still

master counterfeiter pecks and types with one finger...

I want to meet this guy

I was given 2 counterfeit 10's at a bank. I sold them for $40 to a collector because they were so damn good. Cops told me that I could keep them as long as I never tried to use them.

He certainly is owning the title of worlds best counterfeiter and loving it. I would too if I only got 1 month of jail for doing what all ppl dream of but not too many has the know how and balls to do.

if they don't want people to counterfeit. make it out of REAL MONEY. silver and gold.

HATS OFF TO THE MAN 🎩 🧢

This dude is a smart as dude!!! He beat the system and put them to shame lmao

My hero

I am... Why he didn t say " i was" ... Suspicious..

Wait, Canadian's don't break laws, do they?!

"The Litmus configuration" "Midnight Run" will find counterfeits every time. :-)

I gotta say thumbs up to this guy! He is very clever!

A slap on the wrist for giving up the crabby patty formula... i wish i was in his shoes, they're probably paying him top dollar to detect counterfeit bills now. Paying him enough to not make anymore of his own that is 😏

how is it bad for shopkeepers if they cant detect it?

You had this guy there how could you get it wrong? The papermill was in Switzerland, the printing plates came from Germany!

6:24 they left the cursor dead center on the screen

My hero! Stick it to the man!

They could get you if they wanted.

Even if he did go to jail I'm sure he knows someone who could bail him out xD

For sure he wasn’t alone

wow for once I can be proud to be from Quebec LMFAI

can you teach us too is it hard to learn lmao 😂.... Real G...boss

Wow. And someone I know mistakenly had fake $100 and got 3 years for trying to take it to the bank who gave it to him.

Anyone else watching this in 2020, glanced at the upload date, and got a bit nervous?

It seems 20/20 thinks this guy is amazing, praising and promoting him as the best counterfeiter of all time. I guess it's interesting to see someone get away with producing fake money.

he is so cocky and he prob wanted to go on TV to be famous as the aster counterfeiter

Frank’s banknotes were no different than those issues by the Federal Reserve. Both cannot be redeemed for gold, silver or anything of actual value. The Feds just couldn’t put up with some competition!

I like more the counterfeit from Peru, the guy that showed up on that Vice news documentary called '' Lima's fake money''. You can look it up as '' Counterfeit Money, Lima''.

He claims he made 250 million in counterfeit 20s. Then he says he got 30% of its worth selling it off to other criminal groups. That means he made 75 million dollars. And he's willingly risking near life in prison and driving a used h2 hummer? I smell bullshit.

My Canadian bro wowwwww he is a mastermind

He was left 50 million dollars when they caught him and he only had to pay 1,500$ fine

Woah! This guy got a charge-free deal from the prosecutor.

The 30 million is for his retirement !!!!!

It's all counterfeit

what they don't tell you about the 3,000 people arrested is that they're not all counterfeiters. you can be arrested for passing a phony bill unknowingly. how is that fair? this guy gets on my nerves ,though.got to be a canadiens fan.

Best counterfeiter watching this from his latest Mac book

Dam he had all the geen backs he wanted. But it was dumb how he got caught

This is why you get rid of fiat and start adopting crypto currency

If his bills were that good, they probably just put them in circulation. For years I've always wondered how many unknown fake bills are in circulation without anyone ever knowing. Worth thinking about, because this would have major ramifications on our economy. The end result would be that everyone would be artificially richer than they should be without knowing it.

frank bourassa you are the man becuase any people will doing expert counterfeiter money like you

I would like to meet this guy and buy him a beer !!! No Guns ... No Blood ,,,,,,, Good on you !!

Look even a clown can do it

FUCKING GENIUS. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADVERTISED.

Honestly I'm not even mad. This is very impressive.

He's a dead man walking going on this show.

Dirty frank has money in hiding

So , the one thing never explained is how do you know the bills are counterfeit once they're in circulation ?

BRAVO...!!!!

ONE GIANT COUNTERFEITING OPERATION People get their paycheck deposited through direct deposit. Then, they use their debit cards to purchase things and pay bills. Yes you can go to the bank and withdraw cash paper money. But what happens if everyone decides to do that? What happens if there is an announcement that savings deposit will be utilized for BAIL-INS? I tell you what will happen. Anyone that has two brain cells to rub together will rush to the bank to withdraw their money. The bank will not have enough cash on hand to pay off everyone. Even if the banks were able to utilize interbank loans or call in all their investment. There would not be enough cash to take care of everyone. But they can eventually get it. GETTING IT IS NOT THE SAME THING AS HAVING IT. So essentially we are operating this country under COUNTERFEIT MONEY. Then they take this counterfeit money and loan it to us and bury us in a mountain of debt. BUT HERE IS THE KICKER, They dont take the money from peoples savings, They create their own counterfeit electronic money and loan it to us. So if we can no longer afford the mortgage the banks foreclose on the home and they get to keep a real asset. They just exchange some computer entries for REAL STUFF. You think the politicians are going to help you? They spend 75% of their time looking for campaign / party contributions. They get these contributions when private entities tell them to vote yes on congressinal bills written by these private entities. These congressinal Bills have blanks in them so that the congress person could just insert their name. When we become a cashless society the banks will have the authority to tell us who gets a bank account and who does not. Another words if you start an ONLINE BUSINESS the banks will dicatate who gets an account and who does not. If they dont like your business they can tell you that they are not going to do business with you. And because online businesses are convinient people wont shop if they have to jump hoops. Remember a bank account is a privilige. They have the authority to oust you if they want to. Take notice: Shortly after WikiLeaks -- the rogue information-gathering and dissemination website -- leaked hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. diplomatic cables to the public in 2010, Visa and MasterCard blocked donations to the site. At the time, MasterCard said it doesn't allow its customers to be engaged either directly or indirectly with illegal activity. The organization, set up by Julian Assange, says it has lost 95 percent of its revenue since the so-called financial blockade began. However, in December 2012, a new organization called the Freedom of the Press Foundation was created and funnels donations to WikiLeaks among other organizations that execute "aggressive, public-interest journalism." The foundation takes all major credit cards for donations. Visa and MasterCard both declined to comment on the financial blockade. WikiLeaks never signed up to accept donations through Discover or American Express.

The real crime is that butcher of a haircut.

And yet if you coupon you can make money legally. Would love to see him counterfiet our currency. It's made of plastic polymer.

Why does the video say 2020 when the video was published in2014.

haha this guy is genius!! and fuck the system!

0:41 talkin bout "we work hard here and to get counterfeit bills is an insult" oh please charging your fellow man a fee to eat FOOD is beyond an insult but a smack in the face to God, please have a seat and realize that God did not put us on this Earth to work from day to night, eat, sleep and die IGNORANCE IS BLISS

Can you make me paper and put the U.S. president as a watermark? Can you do that? Well........ I'll tell you what I'll pay double. Oh ok.

Im trying to get into his *GTA5 Hacked Lobby* lol
