According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Kansas, three Wichita men have been indicted on charges of counterfeiting and passing counterfeit currency. Police say Douglas Blocker, Traevon McGairty, and Cornelius Wilson were behind two sneaker purchases in which $1,000 of fake money changed hands.
The report says the men used a photocopy machine to duplicate $20 bills before arranging meet-ups with sneaker sellers. In the first sale, Blocker allegedly paid someone $480 in fake bills for four pairs of Jordan Brand sneakers. The second time, all three defendants passed off $520 of the photocopied cash in exchange for three pairs of unnamed sneakers.
Now, the men face up to 20 years in federal prison with fines as much as $250,000 on each of the two counts.

I just got scammed over my JORDAN OFF WHITE UNC today with counterfeit money as well and I don’t know what to do
the reason faking money has such a serious max sentence is because alot of big time criminal organizations used have fake money operations. once the fbi busted them they use to throw the book at those people for the full 20 years just incase other charges didnt stick.. these guys werent that so theyll probably just get 3-5 years
Damn they’re facing as much time as heavy drug trafficking or even murder. I bet rapists face less time than them. Smh
Major L for them.
Just say someone gave me the money
