Man trying to cash $360 billion check arrested in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - 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.

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.

Perhaps he asked for it in $20 bills

Wasted, mentally ill, or both...

Yip's . that must mean my 250 million dollar check from Publishers Clearing House is no good too . I had such plans

There must be a mistake on the amount. No individual in the world has 360 billion dollars sitting in their bank account. Heck, not even the richest person in the world has 360 billion dollars. The richest person in the word, Warren Buffet, is only worth 62 billion (cash and assets).
