Man Tries to Cash Check for $360 Billion

Filed under: Checking Accounts

moneychangeseverythingcover.jpgThat headline might be Onion-worthy, but according to the Dallas Morning News (via Digg), it’s true.

According to police, Charles Ray Fuller, 21, was arrested on forgery charges for trying to cash a check for $360 billion. Fuller walked into a Chase branch with the check and when the bank called the issuer, she claimed that she didn’t write it, nor did his name appear on the check in the first place. Chase, you may have saved her an overdraft fee! Booya!

Fuller claims that the check came from his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business. And for those of you counting at home, $360 billion could buy you 36 billion copies of Cyndi Lauper’s single “Money Changes Everything” on vinyl. Now there’s a business plan.
