489: Frank Bourassa | The World’s Greatest Counterfeiter Part Two

Frank Bourassa counterfeited and sold $250 million in fake US currency until he was nabbed in an undercover operation. Now he runs a security company and works with the police to catch other counterfeiters.

What We Discuss with Frank Bourassa:
  • How someone creates a quarter of a billion dollars in American $20 bills that not only look genuine, but feel genuine even to experts.
  • The hours of research that Frank spent learning how to create counterfeit money that would pass most muster without immediately going to jail on his first attempt.
