I wish it was this easy

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.

In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana. Officers reported finding less than two ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.

Hi,

Well, it looks like Charles may have the opportunity to audition for the prison band as he begins his recording empire.

Best wishes,

Lloyd

Does this give us any clues about the North Texas edjumacation system?

I question the need for algebra if you can't balance a checkbook.........

I think that the market for "records" is except for a handful of audiophiles, DEAD.
3.6 Million would have gotten the studio, 36 Million two or three endorsing trumpet players(hey it worked for Herb Alpert). 360 million would have bought him enough drugs to make him hallucinate the studio for the rest of his life and anything more than that.................
His girlfriends mom must be pretty well off for the bank to even bother to call. The 4 grand available for bail makes me think he isn't that bad off either. I hope he never has kids.........................
