Wow, that is something I didn't know! I had been told by a policeman that information I passed on earlier. -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Goldstein Sent: Thursday, 28 May 2009 22:35 To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: pdf security From their Web site: "The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against Secret Service protectees as well as financial crimes, which include counterfeiting of U.S. currency..." And from a local newspaper yesterday: "Clark was arrested again in May by U.S. Secret Service agents and Prince George's County Sheriff's deputies after he sold counterfeit bills to an individual cooperating with authorities. Agents searched his mother's home and seized more counterfeiting materials." Not at all an unusual situation. The Secret Service investigates all counterfeiters, including the minor ones. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lewington, Warren J (WT) > Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:59 PM > To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: atw: Re: pdf security > > ...
