You can pay strippers with cash if you want to avoid a paper trail…but make sure it’s legit cash if you want to avoid a rap-sheet.
A 32-year-old man from Florida named Alexander Baker-Depew was feeling romantic…so he decided to buy a bouquet of flowers and some chocolates for a dancer at a strip club.
The flowers and chocolates cost Alexander $288, and he paid for them with counterfeit funny money. The bills had the word “replica” on them, and said that they were not legal tender and were only “to be used for motion pictures.”
Then, Alexander went to the strip club, and paid a bar tab with the same movie money. Both the bartender and the florist realized the money was fake…and called the cops.
The police showed up at the club and arrested Alexander. They searched him and found $400 more in counterfeit bills…cocaine…and meth. He’s facing multiple felonies for the fake money and drugs.
