A man has been accused of attempting to pass a $360 billion check, which he claims was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business, Fort Worth police said.

Charles Ray Fuller, 21, of Crowley, was arrested on April 22 on an accusation of forgery, police said.

Police responded to a report of a man attempting to pass the check about 4 p.m. that day at the Chase bank in the 8600 block of South Hulen Street, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

The personal check was not made out to Mr. Fuller and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write a check for $360 billion.

Mr. Fuller was also accused of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of marijuana, Lt. Henderson said. He may also face a theft charge in Crowley.

Lt. Henderson said he did not know if Mr. Fuller and his girlfriend were still together.

Do you suppose he really thought it would work?

Think about the stupidity that requires for a minute.

I know it's easy to see he's dumb at a glance, but really think about it.  Consider how much knowledge you would have to sacrifice to reach a mental valley low enough that you'd believe this scheme would work.

I would have written "$10 Billionz" on a piece of paper, photocopied it 36 times and handed over the result. Then I would have taken an early lunch so I could follow him and watch him try and spend it.

Would you have ever tried something like that?  I don't think it's the marijuana.

He doesn't look like he's starting with a 150 IQ before he tokes, though.

to start a record business.


Thats what sunk him.

He would have pulled it off had he said he was starting a new MMO studio that "boasts some heavy-hitting, pop-culture names" which "adds further credibility within the industry, strengthening our commitment to deploying a first-rate MMOG, and ensuring fans that we have the skill and experience to deliver an Online Entertainment Experience like no other." 

Most banks have heard that.  At least once.

Pot doesn't make you that stupid.  No way.  I know PLENTY of pot smokers, they've never even approached this level of dumb.

That guy all the way on the right is either high or trying to squeeze a turtle head BACK IN. Ironic considering the domain you hotlinked to.
