Keep it in the family

Wouldnt it be good to make your own money? Or would it? Well, a family in East
London did just that and found out that they had to pay a high price for it! It sounds like
a dream printing millions of 20 and 50 notes. No need to ever go to a bank again!
Unfortunately, for this particular family the dream has ended in prison sentences for all
of them.
This illegal operation was the biggest that the police have ever seen in the UK. Over
14 million pounds worth of fake bank notes have been recovered and they think that
this family business was producing over 66% of all fake bank notes in the UK. There
could be many, many more. Only the family know how many notes are still out there
and theyre not going to tell anyone. It was a very large, complicated, and successful
business!
The public have become interested in this story because of the family aspect. Four
generations of the same family were part of the operation. The ages ranged from 23 to
85 and included grandchildren, parents, grandparents and even a great-grandmother!
The great-grandmother, who was 85, lived in special accommodation for older people
and the police found 22,000 of notes in a plastic bag on top of her kitchen cupboard,
ready to be distributed!
This forgery business was very well organized. It was run like a real business and
each person had his / her place. They used very high-tech equipment to print and cut
the fake notes and they had 20 different sites to keep the money, such as the greatgrandmothers kitchen. The police watched the operation secretly for over four months
before they arrested the gang.
At the trial the judge told the public that they shouldnt feel sorry for people like this.
They are organized criminals and they are stealing from everyone and hurting the
economy. However, a lot of people have a secret admiration for the family. Is this a
worrying fact or is it human nature? I wonder.
