I ' m sure an antelope being killed by a lion suffers a lot . If we could somehow prevent this suffering , why not ? <| sep |> My friend and his other friends printed a bunch of fake money when we were in Jr . High . About $ 200 or something , mostly 1 ' s , 5 ' s , and a couple 10 ' s . I didn ' t know him well at the time but I remember it and we ' re good friends now . The school didn ' t notice for weeks and he was using it at the cafeteria and it worked on vending machines . Nobody noticed until it came time to deposit all the money . The school went crazy . They had a big announcement and told everyone that it would be better to come clean . He tells his parents , who are pissed but understand he ' s just a kid and he didn ' t fully understand how big of a deal it was , which was a felony . He confesses to the principal and Secret Service , who put him in jail overnight . He had a secret service agent ask him how he made the bills because they were so real and so hard to detect he went as far to say that they were the best counterfeit bills he ' d ever seen . My friend made them with regular printer , on a regular HP printer , crumpled them up and folded them a bunch to look old and used . They dropped his charges when he was 19 and just got fined a little bit and had to repay the counterfeit money to the school . The Secret Service agent told him to contact him for a job in the future . He never has , because he has no interest in it , but a pretty crazy situation nonetheless .
