Three Men Arrested For Passing Counterfeit Money At Disney

POSTED: 11:42 am EST January 7, 2005

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Disney security caught three people they accuse of passing counterfeit $100 bills.

When the bills started appearing in the Magic Kingdom, security officers used surveillance video to follow the three people, Aldofo Lozano, Gilberto DeLeon and Carmen DeLeon.

When they had enough evidence, they called the U.S. Secret Service who arrived to arrest all three.

Yeah I'm not surprised by this at all.

WOW...the US Secret Service. Crap....that's scary.
This happened at my local mall too and the person went downstairs and tried to use it at another store. Why do people think they can get away with this stuff? Do they not watch CSI...they're gonna get ya!

I would have thought that they would have tried to conterfeit some "Disney Dollars". Seems like it would have been easier than U.S. Currency.

Not to mention counterfeiting Disney Dollars is probably not a federal offence.

WHAT MORONS!!!! dont you know that the higher the bill the more attention drawn to it. if you are going to swap some fake bills, at least counterfeit $5 or $10's. LOL jk

interesting fact: the 20 bill used to be the most counterfeited. i think since the advances of security to that bill it may have gone down.

but yes, it is a serious problem and crime. im so scared that ill accidentally get one back one day in change and use it somewhere and be the one that gets caught. i wonder how many times ive had one and didnt even know it.

Yup, happens all the time. I remember at least once when we caught a counterfeit $100 in merch as it was passed to us.

That's actually one of my recurring dreams. It's always something so obvious I can't imagine why I accepted it as change in the first place.

In one dream it was a $17 bill with the back completely blank.

well, i hate to say it, but it it couldn't have happened to such well deserving scumbags. oh yeah, i almost forgot. chalk one up for the good guys.

Just love to see people like those 3 get a taste of some good old fashioned justice: disney style

 

[Yellow Shoes]

WOW...the US Secret Service.

Yup--the Secret SErvice is part of the Treasury Dept.

Is that the dream in which you are dancing on stage and customers are putting $17.00 bills in your costume? :lookaroun

 

[Yellow Shoes]

So sorry to disappoint....

In addition to the counterfeit money dream, I am prone to the "today-is-the-final-and-I-haven't-been-to-class" dream and its variants.

Truly, you don't want to see what I've got under these clothes.......

 

[LilDucky]

hmm. I wonder what magical prison they will be sent to? IASW or Tiki Room under New Management? :animwink:

Oh yes...I actually signed up for classes and forgot about them...memories...

 

[CREEKWAYNE]

THIS IS VERY SAD BUT NOT SURPRISING!

 

[aklodge]

You know, I have been out of college now for almost 16 years, and I still have that dream. In my dream, I get to the end of the semester and realize that I had not gone to a particular class all semester. It drives me crazzzzzzzzy. Maybe its my subconcious telling me I dont go to WDW enough...hmmmmmmm..... :sohappy:

I've never been much for dream analysis, but I really like that interpretation.....
