360 Billion Dollar Cheque Anyone?

Charles Ray Fuller, a twenty one year old man from Texas, has been arrested on the suspicion of attempted fraud. The case isn't that complex to be fair, the young lad decided to try and walk in to a bank with a cheque for three hundred and sixty billion dollars, yes thats $360,000,000,000 and cash it in.

Luckily the lady cashier at the Chase Bank in Fort Worth was not as silly as the young man in question and called the account holder. The account holder said that Charles Fuller was her daughters boyfriend and he by no means had authority to be cashing a cheque of that size!

As well as being arrested on the "suspicion" of fraud Charles Fuller has also been charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and Marijuana.

You may wonder what craziness drove Mr. Fuller to try such an act.....well his answer in the back of the police car was simple...he claims that the money was given by his girlfriends mother so he could start his own record label!!

Maybe he should count the amount of zeros he sticks on a cheque before thinking a bank will believe his story.
