Somebody that I worked with received a fake $100 bill. He was looking at it fairly closely and something looked off, but couldn't pin point it, so he entered it in the register and then gave the customer his changed. Right after he noticed it, but by then, the guy was gone. He notified my boss right away and handed it to the police to investigate. It was really a five dollar bill, turned in to 100, undetectable by the magic marker.
Lets say, he never noticed that the 100 dollar bill was counter fit and put it into the register. Then a customer wants $100 cash back when he/she does debit, and the customer ask if he has a $100 bill. The guy I work with then gives him/her the fake counterfeit $100 bill, will the person that got the money back get into trouble. If the mistake went unnoticed as it did and slipped by, then it could have been giving to someone that does has no idea it is counterfeit. Would they be arrested and then prosecuted. Would it stand up in court.
