They would also used aqua-net hairspray so the counterfeit detecting pens would pass it as real. They actually hit all 50 states. One of the ways the feds tracked him down was he was using his Staples Rewards card to save on ink, the funny thing is when I was on probation I worked their for about 2 years while going to college at the same time. Given the amount of profit he made, and to try and save money leaving a paper trail (No Pun Intended) cracked me up. Because everytime you brought in an empty ink cartlidge they'd give you a coupon for $3.00 off your purchase and you could use 3 of those at a time at the max. They no longer do that... but that little tidbit I remeber had me and my pops laughing are asses off hearing that when watching it


Yeah that's the guy I mentioned. Talton. Crazy his method was pretty simple.. They also caught onto one of his guys cause he was being followed by undercovers and he pulled into a popeyes chicken drive thru. Well the idiot decided to pay for his food with a counterfeit $20.. Well once the undercovers saw him pay they went inside and asked the employee for the bill. Sure enough it was a fake. For making so much money they sure did some stupid ass shit between that and the trail he left buying the ink at staples..
