Someone Has Been Producing Highest Quality Fake US Notes for Decades and the US Can’t Afford to Call Them Out on This

What follows is a summary of a wild tale involving Russia Mafia, Irish terrorists, the FBI, North Korean diplomats, secret bases in Syria, and bitchy memos from the Secret Service, that goes on for thirty years. The story of some banknotes SO convincing that they have been nicknamed the ‘superdollar’. A story that’s going on to this day…

The sheer scale of it Over the next few years, from the mid to late 80’s to the mid 90’s, as the US began to investigate, the scale of the problem became clear. This fake currency was being produced on a fricken INDUSTRIAL level. Millions upon millions of dollars right across the Middle East. And then it started spreading. To Africa. Asia. Europe. Interpol began asking the US Secret Service for help- they were THE experts on Counterfeit US currency; yet the Secret Service seemed resentful of Interpol stepping in and inter-agency information sharing was not happening.

The Syrian Connection. Throughout the early 90’s rumours grew that the money was being produced in the Middle East; increasingly zeroing in on the belief that it was all being done somewhere in Syria (above). New leads emerged.

In 1996 the story broke in Britain that the government of Iran has tried to hire members of the Irish terrorist organisation, The IRA, to assassinate three leading Iranian dissidents who were living in exile in the west. As payment? A shed load of weapons AND about a million dollars in high quality fake US currency…

Back then, as now, Iran was closely allied to Syria. Had they gotten the money from some cartel based somewhere there? Based on local intelligence, the CIA said that they believed there was a billion dollars in fake currency out in the Middle East. The Secret Service responded angrily and said the CIA don’t know squat about fake currency and it was way, wayyyy less than that. The CIA inferred the Secret Service didn’t know a damn thing about the Middle East and stuck by their figures.

The rumours got so big that in 1996 during a state visit to Syria, President Clinton asked President Al-Assad (the father of the current President Assad) if he knew anything and could he please investigate… Clinton had a problem with this theory however. Basically the sheer scale of the printing AND the fact someone was using what appeared to be a specialist intaglio printer (which ain’t small) meant it would be very unlikely any ‘gang’ could get hold of one, let alone ship it to Syria, let alone set it up in secret… Added to that? The linen-cotton mix it was printed in? That kinda stuff you can’t buy wholesale you know? The trail went cold. The Syrian Connection was a dead end. But the fake money continued to be produced. Years pass…

Enter The Russian Mafia By now the fake currency was appearing all over the world. US Treasury reports began to identify Russia as a principle conduit for superdollars. They estimated as much as 20% of US$ held by Russian banks were fake. The Russian organised crime cartels began selling off the fake money across the world. By 2005 we have our first arrests in this scandal. Yet they were confusing. In Manchester, England, a small cartel of criminals had started producing copies of the superdollars in such quantities that had they not been caught by a joint UK police/secret service sting operation they could have damaged the UK economy (they were printing roughly half a million dollars of premium quality fakes PER DAY). At last a criminal gang had been caught… But these were high quality copies of the premium quality fakes. The gang was a dead end. Then one of the commanders of another Irish terrorist network was arrested trying to smuggle into Europe tens of thousands of fake dollars he picked up in Moscow.

In the US itself, the superdollars began to show up – leading the FBI to launch two sting operations (with the epic names ‘Operation Royal Charm’ and ‘Operation Smoking Dragon’) leading to arrests of dozens of people and millions in fake currency being seized. But again – these were criminals jumping on the superdollar bandwagon. WHO was making them was still a mystery. By 2006 while the Syrian rumour was still ongoing, and the Russian aspect was now being exposed, suddenly, a new suspect entered the investigation; one that had the US shifting their focus to the other side of the world. All eyes started looking at North Korea.
