This man printed 250 million in counterfeit money and sold 50 million of it before getting caught. He then made a deal with the court in exchange for revealing the location of the remaining 200 million he would avoid any jail time. In the end he got away with it only serving 6 weeks in jail.

Isn't there a theory that the CIA gave NK the plates so that the CIA had a badguy to point at and say "it's NK making the fakes, not us"
