FORT WORTH, Texas - Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.

Why is some butt-brownie from Fort Worth always trying to bring the whole metroplex down?

The perp is from Crowley Texas.

I’m wondering... how exactly is this forgery?

Obviously, he forged the signature of the lady who owned the account.

“He was released after posting $3,750 bail.”

He wrote the check for $35,000,000 and asked for change........

If I write you a check for $10 and you add a zero to the end to make it $100, then that is forgery.

I don't think so. I think that's just writing a bad check. As far as I know, it would be forgery if he signed someone else's name on the check. Is that what happened?

I think he must have been adding a zero for each bong hit he took before going to the bank.

Huh? She gave him "the check" but told him not to take it or cash it?? Then what did she give it to him for? Did she make out "the check" for $300+b as a joke and/or to shut him up? And why do I keep thinking Fuller's girlfriend's mother looks like Aunt Esther?

Let me guess....

He wasn't decked out in a camel-hair suite, power tie, and wingtip shoes when he walked into the bank.

But she wrote it out anyway?

Take someone's check, make it out to yourself and sign their name; it's generally called forgery.

Well I’ve known some people with bank accounts dumb enough to write checks far in excess of their balance :-)

Probably just called her to get her to file the complaint against him though.

I really doubt he was trying to cash a check of that amount, bogus or not. Maybe deposit. At any rate he’s an idiot!
