I was thinking about what crime this might be. I doubt if the homeless people could be charged, actually, unless they realize the money is fake and try to spend it anyway. In order to be convicted of using counterfeit money, you have to knowingly use counterfeit money. So the homeless people are likely off the hook, as long as they don’t try to use the money after realizing it’s fake. This asshole, on the other hand, has knowingly distributed counterfeit money, and that is a crime itself. And then, if any of the people he gave the money to do realize it’s counterfeit, and still try to use it, this asshole will also be on the hook for conspiracy. All of this leads me to the conclusion that he’s full of shit, and he hasn’t done this at all.
