  His amazing ability to counterfeit money is nothing compared to his ability to navigate the legal system.

  The twist? The farmer knew all along what Frank was doing, printed his own money when Frank wasn&apos;t around, and is now living it up on his own private island.

  What a legend! This guy not only made the biggest amounts of counterfeit money ever, but he also made an elaborate system of protected steps and an amazingly clever defense argument to protect himself.

  Fun fact. Because of Frank; The Bank of Canada realised just how easy it was to counterfeit American notes and changed its suggested regulation when accepting American notes as tender for Canadian businesses. We used to just accept American and give an exchange rate (their dollar was usually stronger) pretty much everywhere and without much thought of treating it different from Canadian notes (check anything over a $50 note). After Frank though the Bank of Canada put out warnings to all businesses to check anything larger than an American $5 note or just stop taking American notes all together due to them being so easily counterfeited compared to Canadian notes and other International Currencies.

  I can&apos;t like this guy enough. Crafty AF, willing to put in the research, work, caution and patience, &nbsp;fully aware of the risk, but unwilling to let anyone else be harmed for his choices. More legit than governments who print real money.<br>EDIT, or rather an asterisk* -His girlfriend was harmed. &nbsp;She had to go through the shock and grief of finding out her beloved was living a double life and lying the whole time, and losing the life she thought she had with him. &nbsp;Now I&apos;m embarrassed it took me 2 days to realize that, because the same thing happened to me.

  The fact they wanted 60 years is exactly why I am so happy he got 6 weeks with his smart thinking and lawyer&apos;s help.

  He farmed karma by looking out for everyone even remotely attached to his operation and cashed it in after being caught

  Credit where credit is due: he was genuinely concerned over getting people who weren&apos;t involved by their own will mixed in with his criminal activities. He could&apos;ve just took care of the number 1 and let others drown, but he didn&apos;t.

  Small correction, Trois-Rivières is not a suburb of Montreal. It&apos;s almost 150 km away from Montreal.
