Maybe the “walking and peaceful protesting” money was all fake like this perp’s was?
It wouldn't be the first time an enemy country tried to crash an economy with bogus paper. Remember the German attempt with counterfeit 5 pound notes, printed in a concentration camp?
The Abwehr paid off their top spy, Cicero, in Turkey, with this funny money. The ambassador was sloppy with security, like The Grand High B!tch, and the Germans were being fed all the diplomatic traffic that went though the embassy. Only thing that saved the Brits was that the Germans didn't believe anyone could be that stupid. They thought it was phony.
