rrwood writes "This is an intriguing insight into the activities of a master Canadian counterfeiter. The subject of the article, Wesley Weber, is/was a distinguished hacker and cracker who used a combination of technological skills and social engineering to produce what is probably the highest-quality counterfeit currency ever detected in Canada. Even more interesting to note is the widescale effect this one guy had, since he and his confederates single-handedly managed to force businesses to stop accepting $100CDN bills, thus affecting literally millions of people. The story is a fascinating look at his brief career, and the dumb, shortsighted mistakes ultimately responsible for his downfall."

  1. Criminal, not "artist" by Hao+Wu · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Some are very interest in the techniques of his crime, or his passion for perfection and obsession with details. You may relate to that too. I have my own passion for details, artistic merit, and Getting It Right-- it's called WORKING.

    Every time you got pay check for friday's weekend, this pervert was laughing at you for all of your wasted hard work. He is not counterfeit "artist". He is counterfeit criminal, and a crook who must serve Dire Jail Time for what he has done to society.
