This man might be the dumbest criminal to date.
Via Florida Today:
Tony Jerome Torbert Jr., 20, was charged with possession of counterfeit currency with intent to defraud, which carries a maximum 20-year sentence in federal prison. He was arraigned on Friday and released on bond.
According to a news release from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Crimeline received a tip in February about a person claiming to sell counterfeit currency in an online Craigslist ad with the heading “Legit Counterfeit $$.”
The sheriff’s office Economic Crimes Unit conducted three undercover purchases, and Torbert was arrested in the middle of a fourth sale.
As Torbert was being arrested, deputies with a search warrant entered his home and seized a printer, a computer and counterfeit currency.
Warning to all criminals: CRAIGSLIST IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
