Forteau, of Willingboro, made the $100 counterfeit notes by printing the images of genuine $100 bills onto $1 bills that he had bleached, or “washed,” according to charging documents. According to prosecutors, Forteau used $1 bills “because the $100 counterfeit notes would feel genuine to the touch and could still appear genuine if store employees marked them with a counterfeit detection pen.”Court papers note Forteau traveled with a printer and laptop to make the fake cash.
Forteau was caught after the U.S. Secret Service found a video of him on a public social media account that showed him in a hotel room throwing $1 bills in the air with a printer visible in the background.
