Drop It Like It's Fraud: Fake Money Spotted In Huntsman

(12/11/15 3:35pm)

If you’re muddling through finals thinking that all of this studying is worth it because after you graduate you’ll be a successful, jet-setting, and glamorous billionaire – think again. Fake money, which looks like it came from a Monopoly knock-off, was spotted in Huntsman this week. The only place these 100s will get you is a prison, for possession of counterfeit currency. Or, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to put a down payment on your own, Wharton grad designed, shipping container house. So unless the holy Goldman Shrine has the power to turn fake money into gold, mark “Jumping for joy after finding $100, because now you can afford that cool chair from the Starbucks furniture store...only to realize the money is fake” as the 101st reason why this week sucks.
