Bill Gates earned his billions through his obsession with technology. Donald Trump earned his wealth with ruthless real estate deals.
Fort Worth, Texas resident Ray Fuller didn’t have the skills or the business savvy to earn his the old fashioned way. He had only a stolen blank check and a pen.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Fort Worth police arrested a Crowley man accused of trying to cash a stolen check for billions of dollars. Police said Charles Ray Fuller, 21, tried to cash the check at a Chase Bank, but the teller did a double take after noticing the check was for $360 billion.
The check was made out to “Fulla Comp and Entertainment,” the record company Fuller wanted to start, NBC 5 reported.
Police said Fuller stole the check from Paula Prettyman, the mother of Fuller’s girlfriend, Andrea Greer.
[Prettyman's grandmother] said if her family had $360 billion, “I wouldn’t be sitting here. I’d be somewhere drinking margaritas. It’s five o’clock somewhere, sometime.”
Authorities said Fuller also had a gun and marijuana in his possession at the time of his arrest.
Of course he did.
