A friend asked for a favor, handing me $3,500 U.S dollars. She asked that I deposit this in the bank and wire it over to her in America (I'm currently in Taiwan). Her business dealings are shady, so i was worried the cash might be counterfeit. I took the money to a bank in Taiwan, and only half of them were accepted; the rest of the bills were either from a year that apparently had so many counterfeits that the bank doesn't even take any notes from that year. The rest of the bills wouldn't pass through the machine. Now, they didn't say the remaining bills were counterfeit, but either way, I cannot deposit them into the bank in Taiwan to wire to her.
Now, I'm going the U.S in a couple weeks, and I want to know if I try to deposit this money into my account there to wire to her, and these bills DO turn out to be counterfeit, will anything happen to me? Will they notify the police or put something on my record? Or will they simply tear up the money? Should I just mail her the money?
