Tennessee Woman Arrested For Printing Money: "All These Other Bitches Get To Print Money So I Can Too"
In what is either the best example why one should never believe anything they read on the internet, or just blatant frontrunning of the last QE by a few years, earlier this week a woman from Kingsport, Tennessee was arrested for counterfeiting money. That in itself is not surprising - it was her justification why she did it: she told police that she thought she was doing nothing wrong because she had read online that President Barack Obama made a new law allowing her to print her own money.
Pamela Downs, 45
TimesNews reports that police were called to a local grocery store on Sunday night in regards to a complaint about counterfeit money. When the reporting officer arrived, he spoke with a gas station clerk who said that just prior to the officer's arrival, a white female had handed him a $5 bill, which he suspected to be counterfeit.
Since the bill had been printed on regular computer paper and each side had been glued together (but was falling apart), the officer immediately recognized the bill as a fake.
The officer spoke with the female, identified as Pamela Downs, 45. After initially responding that she had gotten the fake bill from a gas station, Downs was asked by the officer if her purse could be searched, to which she agreed. Inside her purse, the officer found a $100 which was also counterfeit, according to the report. The bill was printed in black and white and the backside of the bill was upside down.
A couple of receipts from Walmart were also found inside the purse, showing Downs had purchased copy paper and a printer.
At that point she was arrested, and she gave the best money-counterfeiting "defense" we have heard in a long time:
"I don't give a ****, all these other bitches get to print money so I can too."
It was not immediately clear which "bitches" she was referring to.
The police then searched the apartment and found several items consistent with being used to print counterfeit currency including paper, scissors, glue and a printer. Several more counterfeit bills, both cut and uncut, were located at the apartment. Officers estimated the total to be around $30,000 to $50,000.
While at the jail, Downs reportedly told the officer the receipts that were found were items she used to print money in her apartment.
And back to the rationalization: "She then told officers she read online that President Obama had made a new law that permitted her to print her own money because she is on a fixed income, the report stated."
She was charged with criminal simulation and counterfeiting.
While there are literally countless angles one can go with this story, maybe the best conclusion is that if only she had waited a few more years before printing her own money with the "president's blessing", all of this unpleasantness could have been avoided.

Set and spike. LMAO.
The thing of it is, considering how our money comes into being, her actions are pretty lucid...
It's a world so insane you've got to be crazy to live in it.
That's a great comment. I'm remembering that!!! Touché!!!!
Janet is mentally ill? Lets all crowdfund in bitcoin to buy her treatment for psychopathy.
Corzine has proved there is no rule of Law'
Let Everyone Make their own Money!!!
The Fed does it every day!
The pig should have kept his mouth shut and spent it down at Dunkin doughnuts!!
My printer fools most folks.
At least her fiat will not be "vaporized" gotta give you that.
The cops are going to confiscate the money, put it on trial for imitation, then divide it up amongst themselves, launder it through an HSBC drug money account and come up clean.
Pamela don't lower yourself to that whores behavior
Sorry, ALL us 'dollars' are counterfeit.
Obama will give this woman sanctuary.
When I read about people like this, I start hoping that the culling is near.
kingsport, a beautiful town that's escaped the vibrant invasion (so far)
Makes sense to me. Arrest all the central bankers. You think the crooks are running the system? What a novel thought. No, they wear suits and drive fancy cars they would never lie cheat and steal.
Well Warren "The Snake" Buffet doesn't have to print money he gets 500 billion bailouts. Did he get arrested? Bail her out.
Now, everyone ask themselves, do you own a printer, paper, scissors and glue? Hmmm.....
The people putting her in jail are the ones that need to get locked up.
Cracka bits Puhlease!
Yellen, Bernanke, Greenspan, Downs in a police lineup.
Who is ID'd as the criminal?
Shes a frickin hero what the hell is wrong with the bashers, so shes not dressed like Carly Fiorina who gives a F#$K??
This is a very telling story of what a class of people have come to. And I don't think she was talking about the central banks. I'd bet there are a list of people who bought those new laser printers and some cotton paper and have some savvy to do it just right enough to get by for a few months. Sorry, sorry story. This woman is just a poor dingbat that hasn't a clue!
If a Bankster just adds a bunch of Zeros into a Computers Account us that actually Counterfieting.
The Bank Accounts represents the equivelance in money, but at the same time it doesn't because 100 Accounts with $1 are all representing the Dollar Note. So if each person asked for their Account to converted back into Notes they are supposed to represent, it can't happen. There is not enough notes in existance to cover those Accounts. The Banks have been Counterfeiting.
The moral of the Story is, Only Jewish Bankers are allowed to Counterfeit Money.
I cannot come up with anything witty................
Obviously everybody else is in the same boat..............
We should all make a pot, 120$ or 1/10 oz gold.
Send it to me.
and we will vote on the best comment (which has not shown up yet).
I will happily disperse the winnings.............
Let me know if you want the address to send your gold.
I will take good care of it.
And I promise on the book of the holy goldy sacks, AKA doing gods work...
To honextly and holeheartedly take care of your assets and distribute them as I see fit........
I know how tough it is to get gold as I have a gold claim............
I promise on the holy book of goldy that I will do gods work and of course never keep any of the money for my self.
Except of course for a small transaction fee..............
Ha! It would be a lot easier, more efficient and more secure with bitcoin. Using multisig, your chance of stealing the funds would be 0.
As a member of a jury, I would never convict someone of counterfeitting FRN's.
"I don't give a ****, all these other bitches get to print money so I can too."
Great quote!: but she could not deliver. Why not just hand over monapoly money?
I watched an elderly black woman have her 20 screened for legitimacy at the local family dollar the other day.
Really?
SH
OK, so, how old was this woman?
They give her name and I.Q. but no age...
Back to killin' snakes
45 lol IQ
sad thing is that if she had a fake credit card she'd get her wrist slapped...but fake money will get her five years.
Her money is as good as the fed's....which isn't saying much
She's right.
This woman needs help.
How can you not know how to print on both sides of the paper?
Mom?
Has to be a ZH'er with that bitches remark. Or maybe should be.
Hillarious
She is qualified for the next US prez (like Hillary)
She would allow ALL to print their money on their home printers.
The fed will stop printing money.
Then this money will circulate in the system
with which the whole world will run.

What a great Idea
:-)
History has demonstrated time and again that it IS a great idea, especially the part about the Fed stopping to print theirs, but even that isn't necessary. Competition is. That said, I wouldn't vouch for her implementation. Now if she decides to back her version with assets, then I would certainly reconsider. Bank notes were at one time freely issued and backed by specie. Don't let the Fed's marvelous performance over the last century limit your thinking. She's ahead of the curve: the Fed shouldn't be the only counterfeiter out there.
Even Homer hasn't tried something this dumb.
From the article: "It was not immediately clear which "bitches" she was referring to."
There are SO many to choose from.
Probably referring to that Yellen woman.
The Fed hasn't thought of this yet. They just struck a committee to study the merits of people printing their own money. I think they will allow it as long as they invest that money into the stock market
How do you convict someone that does the same thing you do? If Pamela would have said she put it into the Dow, no story here.
She failed to consider the 'fiat' part of fiat currency. Or IOW fiat = 'by law'
Weird , I just had this conversation yesterday with a family member about pieces of printer paper. If you think about who in their right mind would trade one 3" x 6" piece of paper for 500 pieces of 8.5" x 11" paper.
This is the world we live in.
This is one reason why fiat fails 100% of the time.

Fuckin aye. I want to print. Why can't I print.
Thanks, but I think I'll stick with my palm.
Ouch! If only she had sprung for that $2.99 double sided tape ...
She should have bought bitcoin instead. :)
Rofl, you don't need the internet to ask the question if others can create value out of thin air why can't I?
Answer:- Because you are no banker and if anything all people should be permitted to become bankers at no cost so they can tap into the lucrative market of leverage and interest not reserved for the exclusive few. Then if you fuck up economically you can visit the central bank who will hand you a shed load of newly printed stuff to shore you up financially.
The other women in the trailer park get $5 for a BJ..Unfortuneately,Ms Downs has to pay the client $5 for every BJ she gives..
Janet Yellen looks rough(er) in that photo. It must be her as she's the only bitch I know who prints money.
Obama Bucks.
I think the story here is the gas station attendant who actually accepted the fake $5 bill whose two glued pieces were falling apart.
I don't understand why she would be arrested for counterfeiting. It seems to me she was just outsourcing, saving the Fed a few bucks to print. It's the American way.
She should have been arrested for doing it so badly - criminal negligence.
She needs mental care. I'm sure the federal pen will provide plenty.
Quite the bust: glue, scissors, and paper
To her credit, she self-identified as a bitch. But why someone would counterfeit a $5 bill is beyond me. Something about risk/return seems to come up. But I am pretty confident what she attempt to buy with that $5 bill is only sold to people over 21.
..
Well, folks, she actually did read that on the internet. She was dumb enough to believe a satire piece was true. What do you expect in a country when two thirds of the adult population still believes the Bush regime's bull <expletive deleted> story about nineteen "Muslim" hijackers pulling off 9/11?
