An interesting article in today’s Handelsblatt caught my eye today. It appears that the CIA might have been funding illegal operations by bringing forged $100 bills into circulation. To date, bills worth $50 million have been confiscated.
A little searching on the internet turned up a short article in the English Wikipedia reporting the same story and dating the first report (by a German newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) to this effect in January 2007. Interestingly, the White House has been claiming that North Korea is the guilty party.
