Just as an aside, as a cashier I have run into fake $20’s. We never called the cops, we just handed back the fake bill and asked for an alternative payment effort. The reason for that was because there are far more victims of counterfeiting than counterfeiters. The chances are good that the person has already been defrauded. There was one exception when the woman yelled at us and threatened us and tried to pull “do you know who I am?!” It was clear she knew she was passing fake money, but she fled before we could call the cops.

I have seen counterfeit money for sale on Wish, and that sort of thing should be shut down and prosecuted if possible.

Same here.
Got several fake 20’s.
I felt for a couple of the people; they weren’t the scammers.

Yes, calling the cops on a fake $20 seems like overkill, unless it wasn’t the first time a particular person had done it.

And I have to think there are more serious crimes in the world than a fake $20.

I believe Floyd had left the store before they realized the bill was fake. There's been no report that I know of if the owner/clerk went out of the store and confronted Floyd before calling the police. The media doesn't bother to find pertinent details like that before they write a story.
