The Man Who Counterfeits $2.5 Million And Got Exposed By His Son

- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2023
- In today's video, we will uncover a shocking true crime story. Arthur J. Williams, the mastermind of counterfeiting took sophistication to another level. Williams went to great lengths to create fake $100 bills that were nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. Using high-quality printing equipment and materials identical to those used by the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, he made his counterfeit bills almost impossible to detect.
But every criminal has a weakness, and in Williams' case, it was his own flesh and blood. When Williams' son stumbled upon his father's illicit operation, he faced a difficult decision. Ultimately, he turned his father into the authorities, leading to Williams' arrest and conviction.
Williams' elaborate counterfeiting scheme was laundered through his art business, paying his employees and purchasing materials, and went undetected for years. But his son's betrayal exposed the dark side of Williams' character, which had long been hidden from his family and friends. In 1995, Williams was charged with counterfeiting and money laundering, resulting in a 13-year sentence and almost $10 million in restitution. Williams served a decade behind bars before finally being released in 2005.
This cautionary tale is a reminder of the dangers of greed and the importance of honesty and integrity. Don't miss out on this wild ride through the world of counterfeiting, betrayal, and ultimate redemption.

Being good at crime means don't ever get greedy or tell anyone what you do.
Fu@%ing right. 😈👍
There is a saying Arthur,In close mouth Flys don't enter.
Spoken like a professional. ☆
Just like fight club.
We like to show off
Aurther's only mistake was telling people.
True 💯
Wrong. His mistake was he should have chosen an honest life
His mistake was basically doing what his father did and leave his son, his dad's a piece of shit.
@@ZA-wm6mm an be poor forever lol
My cousin was an investigator. She said the majority of people who got caught were those who told people and they snitched
Stealing from drug dealers is serious guts. Respect to this guy
Crime doesn't pay...until it does.
Crime does pay ... until he got caught.
He got caught eventually and will be known as a crim for the rest of his life! A dirty, cheating crim!
It sure as hell does! You can even become president.
@@jasonhansen8996 catch’s up with you in the end!
@@brenwicks no doubt... But being able to never have to think about money for a couple of years would be amazing feeling
The lost art of keeping a secret, whatever you do don't tell anyone 🇿🇲
Totally agree 💯
Mbuzi 😂
🇿🇲 Yeah right
RUclips has REALLY educated me.
My heart bleeds when i listen to such life stories ..
and there are SO many horrible experiences ppl go thru.
Tis y i learn not to judge others ..
My thoughts exactly, my heart breaks every time. That leaves me being so grateful God kept me.
Dont trust father who had abandoned you when you neede d him most
Hella
He made a fortune over many years. He could have retired. But he keep doing it until he
got caught!
No he couldn't keep his mouth shut and keep it to a 1 man operation.
Counterfeiting money u are always going to get caught. Too many loose ends. You have to deal with way too many people in order to get that amount of money off. The secret service isnt some fluke organization
Bless at the end , wonderful story🙏
Thanks
You were so easy to listen I love the narration!
Wonderful job
And the last quote
Love it
Thank you , your comment means a lot 🙏
You like listening to a robot? Unfortunate world we live in where we can't even have humans narrate for us.
Its only counterfeit because they say it is
"he fell in love with her, and so did she" lol what
Great Vid , this one for Me ran close to home for the time period and what was going on same time as Arthurs ..
Imagine doing this and Benjamin Franklin always looking at you with that face 😂
The messed up part is that he wasn't arrested and put in jail for at least the obvious attempted robbery with dangerous weapons (which would even be attempted murder) and impersonating police officers! :(
yy
The thing is, this was probably in retrospect and statute of limitations had run its course.
In the police story, he got released early became he told them where all the extra money was stored 8n a hidden warehouse because it was so much they didnt want it out into the system, every video i see about this about this is different, this the third I've seen
Poverty is the biggest motivator for crime.
What a story I'm hooked on your channel from here on in.
Welcome aboard 🫡
Watched this years ago on anoda channel. Your coverage is thorough but you fail to point out that at his second sentencing, judge banned him from making money from books or stories of his past life hence he had to venture into art to try to earn a living
You failed to sthu
Crime will always catch up with you no matter how meticulous you are.
It sounds good but that's not true
Not really
You obviously will never know of the ones that never get caught. All these guys that get caught are addicts or egotistical with big mouths.
Is there a book on aurther's life ? how did u get to know of his story? Great narratiom BTW
The Art of making money
Crazy good storytelling
Thanks
Nicely job with these video
Glad you like them!
Why is this a crime??? 🤔 If it's a crime to counterfeit currency, then it's a crime for the federal reserve to do it too, as they do it every single day but on a much MUCH larger scale, yet are never held accountable!!!
Man you are smart 🫠
Does the staff know that you’re out of your room and roaming the halls?
@@RobbersIQ thanks mate!!
@@oldskool1977woosh
He’s dad who abandoned him sold him out.
Nice video
Thanks for your comment 🫡
Who needs enemies with a family like that? Then again, he could've lived comfortably if he had never involved organized criminals in his operation, but it looks like living comfortably wasn't his goal.
Does she have a sister? Women listen to his wife’s motivation for him, no matter what twist your man does, support him to become better at it
Never trust women , this is the only advice you need

Welcome to our humble family 🫶🏻
See kids, thats what happens when you don't listen what your dad says...
His real achievement according to this "documentary": He changes his face, length, appearance in every next scene filmed. The makers of this should have used one actor to save us from his abilities to mislead us...
Thanks for your comment , i’m trying to put approximate footage of the story. I’m still new to YT. And im trying as much as possible to improve the quality of the videos (the research , editing , storylines …) but i don’t have the capabilities now to film episodes with real actors ... Not now at least.
Don't watch listen and use your imagination, problem solved
Crime don't pay case closed
It does sometimes
Greed 🤦🏾♂️
Arthur is a clever yet a naive person
It's much more difficult for counterfeiters now. There are cameras all over the place. When someone makes a reasonable copy of a bill and passes it, the transaction is filmed. It was stupid to bring in other people in on this. When someone is arrested, if he has some sort of information that the authorities would like to know, he has a bargaining chip for getting little next to no time. Counterfeiting comes under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service. The Secret Service has a special section to go after felons with everything they've got. Plus there are new methods available now for the authorities. For instance automated license plate readers (ALPRs) as well as it being easy for the authorities to find out who and when stayed in a hotel with the flip of a switch. It's also very easy for them to find out the background of each and every person who stayed in the hotel. Before it was time consuming but that's no longer the case.
The scar of childhood potrayed a life of crime growing up.
This potential played more-so but then there's time for change when the physical,mental and emotional toll takes on the body.
Enough is enough to live a life to earn legally in the real world now,period.
🤔❤🙏👍
Arthur doesn't have a filter on who he tells his secret to. 😅 I thought his son reported his father because he was a good guy but it turned out he was another criminal.
A wise companion once said
"The moment a word comes out of your tongue,its no longer a secret"
He made the lives of small businessmen, cashiers, and bank tellers very very difficult because these people have to answer for his crimes.
None of these people have to answer for Arthur's crimes as they were not the counterfeiters. Other than the financial loss, none of them received any legal consequences.
@@birdflipper 'financial loss' is easy for you to say. But not for us, who were paid in fake bills for goods and services, that would not be honored by the banks.
Weird that Di Vinci disappeared . Probably got caught
imagine that..he faked counterfeit bills...small fish against the criminals called the federal reserve..and those that print money not backed by anything...who is the criminal in this story?
I should make an episode how the fed robs Americans 😅
The car he seen had to have been the 1996 Mustang Cobra with the Mystic paint. It was green or purple depending on the angle and was a factory ford option on the SVT Cobra
I am really amazed, A guy, talented one who can print us a hundred dollar bill, already has experience in working with graphics and doing Photoshop artistic work, now is struggling making money and cleaning the bathrooms and doing low-level jobs, this part of the story is really unrealistic!!!
It’s very realistic in America. The moment you get something on your record or a felony in prison it’s difficult to get high paying jobs afterwards. It’s a cycle, which is why most people go back to their criminal behavior
I wouldn’t hire him, he’s a crim!
@@brenwickspeople like you are why they go back to crime.
Justice was finally served :)
Crime does not pay, avoid being lazy and work for your money if you don`t want to go to prison
Your premises is that he was lazy. This doesn't seem correct though, because creating really good forgeries is very difficult work.
Oh Herbert, you adorable little scamp. You sound like a five year old talking about Santa Claus.
@kegsofvomitspit I thank you kindly kegsofvomitspit! And you in turn have such an adorable name, did you get it from your illiterate mother?
@@probrickgamer yes, but think if he used that energy to create something that anybody would want to purchase?
@@kegsofvomitspit and what a delightful pseudonym you chose for yourself, your fathers schooling surely paid off.
Such a good hearted, truthful, ill-fated robber.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Bummer
ha ha ha ha ha...
How did they always know about this criminals first crime 🤔🧐?
Investigations
They probably do NOT know of their first crime. They just know of a crime and call it the first.
"Be sure that your sins will find you out." You really do reap what you sow.
All he had to do is keep his mouth shut tell no one
Of all the dump criminals ave read or heard about he stands out the most. Once you become a criminal u always cut all links with everyone who knows you and you never go back to your home town
Grandmother use to say. Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Goood story
Good story but i find it hard to believe that this guy would nbring a teenager into his operation
He can work to define what is fake money in FBI now. 🎉 lol
Or he could just go get a job like most people do.
Yes, in a printing company!
@@ssQ2U 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧
He did at one point
The "hero of the story" is a counterfeiter? Do you know the difference between a hero and a felon?
he was not a dedicated counterfeiter. counterfeiters never switch work, no matter what.
Good point
Arthur 👑
What happened to his mother??
He did it for his mom . We celebrate Robbin Hood.. but bad mouth Arthur.
By faith my harvest season is starting. Amen
So what became of Arthur's son after prison?
Loose lips 👄 sink ships. 🚢. He should have kept his mouth shut 🤐
crazy
Red flag… no way would I encourage the man I’m with to commit any crime. He should of seen this as a red flag. Kmt
Aurther tried to be good so many times but was bought back to the world of crime by his loved ones
His father was to blame right from the get go
Also the wife, if she didn't convince him he wouldn't tell the dad and he will live a normal life
The parking meters art robbed, weren't electronic, like your vid.. lol.. meters were from the 80's
Why we start to support or have positve feelings after watching every criminal show those who disguised police or people for thier benefits😢
Thank God he did not suicide.
OMG i was about to getting so sad.
Hacking skill , amazing copying skill , it is treasure talent when it is used right. . ❤
I hope his son is doing alright too. People make mistakes.
Another Gastby
He just misused his skills
Oh hell, our govt does it yearly!
The govt is an octopus 🐙
@@RobbersIQ 😂😂😂
Arthurs only mistake was listening to eve.
Mora: behind every successful man is a woman😅
One toilet paper is real and the other one is fake.
Just goes to prove that "money is the root of all evil" ...
No that’s not correct: it’s the LOVE OF MONEY………
Usury is the great evil and paper money with no value at all.
The b😅iggest scam
Why did I watch this. Especially the moral. I don’t think that was it
Frank bourassa was the best counterfeiter I have ever heard of
Did Authur tell you all this ?😂😂😂
Yes
I seen like 20 of the greatest counterfeiters of all time on RUclips which one is it
Maybe the second 😬
I think everything could be tracked so his bank account was tracked somehow
This is a rehashed story told slightly different.
Don't let children see
His father didn't ask for an apology
His father apologized.
Or
He asked for forgiveness.
It is not good being a criminal unless you like jails, prisons probation officers and that insain life style.
Once you jump in you can't just jump out as you are now on the police radar. Do youself a favor and stay clean plus don't mess with the sissy boys
Your story sucks as you might as you might as well get yourself a gun and start robbing BANKS
😊😊😊😊😊😊
By doing wrong he set himself up for trouble. That was his mistake.
Bummer they use a robot to narrate the video
Tich us hw to win and to hack they slots in Malaysia
It's funny how people have a Am! Unreal! Talent! But always seem to use it for the Bad! And if the son and was broke why didn't they both get jobs? I just can't believe how he got off soo... Eazzzy...! Short jail time. Specially when they sad money laundering is Reallyyyy... Bad then Drugs! And then he's free again over and over! 🤦♀️
They chose it for bad because they get millions by doing illegal things
@@RobbersIQ Gosh! 🤦♀️Just Money Hungry people! Scary!
This is the story of series FARZI.
I'd have to challenge your claim that this guy is the best counterfeiter.
My boy Dave is right up there.
Depending on which govt you talk to, he is either in the top 10 or top 5 counterfeiters in the world.
I say top 2.
My boy fooled the experts at every turn.
Only got 15 years. 😂
They never got the real money. 🤣
Good enough story but poorly written script. The cheap video editing is irritating. Thanks for the lesson in 'morals' though :)
Noted
I do not believe this.
The bottom line is he learnt from his mistakes prayers that father and son dou will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ Savior of our sins and Lord of our lives. God bless all reading.
I really like your stories, but your writing is a bit hard to listen to. It's okay though keep going, you will improve.
Thanks for the tip
Just a fake story like everything else wyt say lol y’all gig is up thank you Jesus
Not fake 😀
Always a sorry ass FATHER who abandons these children 😂 then cry when in child support
The whole society is fkd up
What bizarre and literal stock photos!
1) Find keyword in sentence
2) Find random image tagged with that keyword.
3) Insert over sentence.
Did an AI system do this? Looks like it... LOL.
I guess it's better than some random gaming replays.
Also I remember a similar story from quite a while ago that used telephone book paper for the chemical test reproduction. Must be same story.
Today he sells his art 🎨 of printed money 💰 on Instagram, he does amazing work. People pay big money for his work. He still prints money today, but it's slightly altered to not get into trouble.
It may also continue to print in secret, we will never know
@@RobbersIQ Highly monitored lol. He loves his job.
