FORT WORTH, Texas - Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company.

The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business, authorities said. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off, according to investigators.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge, police said. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business, but bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check, according to police.

In addition to forgery, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

Officers reported finding less than 2 ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets, police said.

Fuller couldn't be located for comment by The Associated Press on Friday because there were no phone listings for him in the Fort Worth area.

Real men of genius...

Should have made his bail $3,600.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was a classical music record business.

This was on the news down here the other day. I think Kodos' post summed it up for me...

$360 billion for a record company? Why not just buy a Carribean island nation instead?

Kodos · 05-02-2008, 04:49 PM

He got a little too greedy. Only 6 or 7 zeroes, and maybe it would've worked.

Or Mike Hampton.

Or Carl Pavano...

If it had been for 95093.35 it might have worked.

A rap record company, I presume.

Okay, I read that story just now, and that guy's a shameless self-promoting tool. That is all.

Sgran · 05-03-2008, 09:03 AM

My favorite part of the story was that he was carrying less than 2 ounces of dope. Well, at least we can rule out the effect of marijuana -- clearly he's only a casual user.

SFL Cat · 05-03-2008, 09:44 AM

oops, scratch that plan.

Shkspr · 05-03-2008, 12:49 PM

So...did the bail check for $3750 clear?

Finding 2 ounces of pot in his car fit under the "no, really?!?" category

SI
