(Not sure if this belongs here or over in PD) Why isn't this bozo in jail? He's effectively admitted to passing counterfeit currency.

Warning!!! This is technically not NSFW. But I most certainly would not watch it at work. And also a trigger warning for a whole lot of things. And this is the tame version, a lot of things are narrated rather than shown. Israel has screened the real one for various reporters but AFIAK...
