"the counterfeit millionaire" - summary

Indulge yourself in the greatest scheme of counterfeiting ever told.  This is a true crime adventure of incredible proportion and intrigue; a case that National Geographic Channel says is "the largest, most sensational case of counterfeiting in U.S. History."  

National Geographic Channel went on to produce an exciting feature-length documentary titled, “Money Factory.”

Like Bugsy Siegel reincarnated, Wayne Victor Dennis had lived a life of criminal enterprise that can only be described as daring and ingenious.  Throughout the years this gentleman gangster has baffled some of law enforcement’s best from coast to coast.

You’ll live the experience of what it’s like to photograph money, create printing plates, mix inks, and counterfeit millions of dollars while shuffling through the secret press room hidden deep inside his tightly-secured Miami home.  He’ll take you there by his side without risking arrest.

Printing $15,000,000 is a most difficult task.  However, cutting, counting, ageing and concealing 2,332  pounds of cash stacked on a wood pallet 7 feet tall can only be done in clever ways.  Experience the thrill factor as it soars to stratospheric heights.

Witness the destruction of millions in counterfeit which he considers slightly imperfect.  Laugh while grieving as bags of cash are incinerated in multiple fire-storms that explode out of control. 

Feel the sheer panic as flaming counterfeit twenty-dollar-bills come raining down in his neighbor’s yards while he scrambles to collect the burning federal evidence that can send him straight to prison for 45 years.

Board the apprehensive flight to Las Vegas… the City of Sin and unlimited wealth.  Walk with the counterfeiter and his girlfriend-in-crime, the beautiful Argentinian bombshell, Alexia, as they cash counterfeit $20s throughout the bustling casinos. 

At the cash-in rate of $4,000 per hour, you'll feel the intoxication as his extraordinary counterfeit passes hands and fools even the most experienced money handlers Las Vegas has to offer… except one… that ratfink teenage girl.

Things certainly change and the United States Secret Service doesn’t give warnings.  You’ll have a personal front seat in the monstrosity of a federal courtroom, filled with lies, truth, shocking wit, amazed jurors, and an aftermath of unthinkable revenge.  Careers are destroyed while futures vanish and loved ones part ways.  This cranky old judge shows no mercy.

The counterfeiter's six co-conspirators make this an outlandish cast of characters Hollywood itself would be hard-pressed to imagine.  Each plays a part in this crime that entertains as well as angers.  Most get off easy while Wayne is sent away for many years in a living hell.

Within a boundless sea of deadly razor-wire surrounding the maximum security penitentiary, he’s forced to live among arms dealers, arsonists, bank robbers, drug lords, embezzlers, foreign generals, smugglers, yacht thieves, and many other criminally-minded convicts.   

You’ll be distraught at how your hard-earned tax dollars are squandered. 

To miss any of this would certainly be a crime.
