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.

If only he'd tried to cash it here. I went into Wells Fargo to change the signature card of an organization after our head honcho died. Seems the card hadn't been updated/changed for several changes in leadership. I was getting frustrated because they were being so ridiculous about wanting everything short of my first born child to update it until I asked them if they ever bothered to check signatures. When they admitted they don't, I immediately closed the account.
Suit
Am I forgiven?
LOL!
Sweet!

If it was a check, I sure hope he kept track of his decimal points while writing it. /snicker
I am ROFLMAO. No one can say he was a petty thief. Just one dumb A—.
Or, to be more precise, all of it, 12.7 times over.
Forgery
The crime of forgery generally refers to the making of a fake document, the changing of an existing document, or the making of a signature without authorization. Documents that can be the object of forgery include contracts, identification cards, and legal certificates. Most states require that forgery be done with the intent to commit fraud or theft/larceny.

All he needs is a little hope and change.
Her name must have been "X".
Or maybe a "Brazilian"
