Let’s start by saying: DON’T DO THIS AT HOME. Or anywhere. Ever.

Look out “Florida Man,” “Massachusetts Man” is coming for ya! Here are the quick details of this wild story:

THE WHAT
A Massachusetts man is facing up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and a printer to transform $1 bills into counterfeit $100 bills. PRO TIP: If he gets the full fine, don’t accept a $250,000 bill from him.
THE WHO
Victor Cardona, 34, of Quincy. A judge will sentence him in January.
THE HOW
I have no idea! But we’d guess it’s a process of scrubby, scrubby, print, spend and distribute. Again: DON’T! Ever.
How'd They Catch Him?
US Secret Service agents have been watching the man since 2019 when “bleached” $100 bills started being reported. Several inkjet printer cartridges were found in the man’s trash that matched up to the ink used on the counterfeit money.
How Much Money Did He Put Out There?
So far federal agents have collected right around $467,000 in counterfeit cash from all across the country they say links back to the Quincy man.
Better Uses For the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?
-Smudges on your walls

-Clean your shoes’ white tops

-Remove tarnish from silver

-Remove soap scum in the tub and shower

-Anything but what the guy in this story did
Moral
Don’t do dumb things.
