Swindle of the century [ATTN: CREDONIA]

In HH, a man named George Costinack walked to the HH Banking building. After the usual security deks he came to the front desk and asked for 6000 Credonian Dollars. He got the money and he asked for only 1 note of each of the Creddy Dollar. He paid the women behind the desk with a cheque and left the building. Once outside he got into a parked car and raced to the nearest HH airport. There he booked a ticket back to Karnak. (SoT capital)

When Mr Costinack returned in Karnak he immediately drove to this home. Once inside he threw all the money he got in HH on the table...

Where are the bills Costinack? We really need them. Not some cheque with $6000...

Yeah I have them here Barnes... Do we really need the 1, 5, 10 and 20 bills? They're worthless.

Yeah, another man replied who hid himself behind a newspaper

Let's only focus on the 100 and 50 dollar bills. There are enough banking corporations in our region so we should have little problem getting rid of our money.

Damn right Costinack... Say, do you know a printing office skilled enough to counterfeit Credonian money?

Yeah I know a few. The best one is in Luxor.

Well then, we should go there.

When the 3 men arrived in Luxor it was night. After driving through the empty streets they finally came to a building.

Is this the place Costinack?

Yes it is. I'll ring the bell

When the bell rang the door opened and an old man came out

Well hello there Costinack we've been expecting you. Friends, come in.

It's good to see you back Abe, it's been too long.

Let's come to business right now Abe said. These 2 gentlemen would like to talk to you.

Mr Costinack walked to the table and there he saw Solan Rixx. Just released from a GaalSien prison and back in the world of the mob.

Solan Rixx it's an honour to meet you.

No Mr Costinack the pleasure is whole mine. If your plan succeeds then our friend will be run out of money within 10 years. With a little help from our friends that is.

Hehehe and who's the other guy?

He's Mr Aldebaran. He's an expert when it comes to fake money, scams and economy. He has to check every print round.

Yes. There's no time for chit chat. We have to pay attention to the following things or else our plan fails.

Mr Aldebaran gave everyone a piece of paper with these rules:

1. keep our money within friendly borders.
2. do not, under any circumstances use the money for your own purposes.
3. every detail must be a 100% match. 99.99% is not good enough
4. the paper must be the same.
5. we need to pay extra attention to watermarks, special bass relief, underlying text etc etc.
6. for the next 6 months we will examine the bills with extreme precision.
This will happen 7 days per week. illness is no excuse for not to work.
7. Mr DuPont is currently busy on a mission in BC. do NOT seek contact with him. he'll return soon to manage the money.
8. if someone gets caught, the operation will continue till the last man.
9. don't take unnecessary risks.
10. the money will spread in 5 years from now.

That's it. Time to go bed now. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

OOC: It's a few months later now. The money has been examined, lots of special things have been found and the kind of ink and paper is determined. Costinack, Barnes, Rixx and the other people involved are working their ass off to start the first print round, which can start any day now.

Ok people lay down your work and look here!

Mr Costinack was very happy since the first print was about to start...

Today, we are going to start the swindle of the century! Ok Fritz start her up!

The printing machine started to work and soon sheets of 100 Credonian dollar bills came out. So much money but no value. This will be fanastic.
After 10 sheets Mr Aldebaran came and started to search for glitches...
After 2 hours he summed up what needs to be changed.

First of all, the paper, the watermark and all the other hidden things are embedded perfectly. But the colour scheme needs to changed a bit. I want quality people, not quantity.

OOC: These are 20 GaalSien men

20 men will be opening 2 accounts each, in each of the banks around SoT.

OOC: very good Gaalsien!

IC: More men from SoT went out to all of the banking corporations in SoT to open up new accounts. Because the SoT currency was worthless the $6000 from Costinack was being shares over the people involved. In SoT currency is was around 2.6 million! More than enough to fill new current accounts nicely. The IRS wouldn't notice a thing since all the accounts were under the lawful maximum of 90,000 RC's.

Meanwhile at the printing office our group of men has made at this time 36 print runs and now it was perfect. The UV light was perfect. The watermark was at the perfect depth. The bass reliefs in the paper were perfect. Everything was an exact copy of the original money. Now it was time to start printing!

27 Hours a day, 7 days a week the presses were running making enough money to buy a small nation. At this rate they would reach the trillion within the month. There was only one major problem, the storage of the money. Luckily there are plenty of abandoned weapon warehouses in the desert used by terrorists. No one came there and hardly anyone wanted to be there. Truckloads of fake money came in daily delivering their load and going back to the prining office.

OOC: the printing office has about 40 presses which print 20 sheet per minute.

OOC: It's now about 2 years later. 2 trillion have been printed and most of the money is either stored on a bankaccount or in a warehouse. The other printing offices Mr Costinack recommended has also joined the ranks which trippled the production.

This is one of the many warehouses where the fake money is stored.

Mr Costinack and his associates decided it was time to spread the money around the fruit islands. But first things first, the largest quantity of real Credonian money had to be destroyed. There's only one place who can hold that much money Mr Aldebaran said, The Huzen Hagen Bank. We have to commit the perfect heist there.

Everyone in the room was scared because no one has even tried to do it. But they had to do it. With a little luck some corrupt SoT government officials would help them.

It was time to pay the banks in the Fruit Islands a visit. Mr Costinack and 30 other conspirators have walked from establishment to establishment to make cash withdrawels in Credonian currency. All of these amounts were made outside of SoT and were put on Smutbuckets 'SoT Investment Agency' account. Each month an employee would take all the cash out of the vault and exchange it with the fake money. The master banker of Smutbucket was corrupt as hell so bribing him to make people burn real Credonian money was no major hurdle to overcome. In a few months there wasn't a single real Credonian bill left in Smutbucket. The same thing happened in SoT.

But now it was time for the prime target: the Huzen Hagen International Bank.

Back in SoT, Mr Aldebaran and Solan Rixx were overlooking the many problems around the HH Bank heist.

We must strike at the right moment. Timing is everything Solan. We can't barge in like maniacs or do it on christmas eve... No no. I think we need to seek HH's support in this.

What? So you're telling you are going to ask support at HH government to rob their own bank? That's luncay!

Maybe. We'll have to find out.
