FORT WORTH, Texas - Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off.


Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.

In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana. Officers reported finding less than two ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.

I wonder how he came to the number 360,000,000,000.... maybe he thought there were 360 days in a year, and assumed he'd need a billion a day...

Nah. It was $360 with 9 decimal places. He meant to write a period instead of a comma.

looks like it was 340 or a 4 under that 6 too! lol, billion What was this dufas thinking?

i'm thinking it was the doing the thinking

Folks, Mr. Fuller is an activist sypmathetic to our cause. His plan was to generate publicity for our side by showing how ridiculous money+music really is.

I just wish the article had not left out the part about where he was wearing a T-shirt.

Maybe he thought he was doing a spreadsheet. He spent $360.00 and his profits for the next three days was $0 for each.

Maybe the check was good and just nobody believed him.....

Just think, that's a felony, and he's going to go to jail for 7 years for writing less than 7 lines.
