Florida Man Attempts to Cash $368 Billion Dollar Check

If you had a blank check wouldn't you write it out for billions of dollars? That's exactly the thought one Florida man had when he attempted to cash a check for $368,000,000,000 dollars...yeah thats $368 BILLION DOLLARS! Jeff Walters was arrested last week after he walked into a Bank of America and asked tellers to cash the check. According to police the tellers at the Jackosnville bank were immediately suspicious as the check was issued in the 90's and was from the U.S. Bank of Idaho. I'm sure the fact that he looked an upstanding citizen played no part in the suspicion.

According to Stuppid Waters told bank officials that he had bought the blank check from a homeless man, Tito Watts a few months back for $100 and told Waters the check would clear for any amount....so why $368 billion you ask? Well because Waters wanted to start an Italian restaurant.

“It’s always been my dream to own the best Italian restaurant in the earth,” Waters told police. “I’m 10% Italian. Cooking authentic Italian food is in my blood. I had planned to make the restaurant 80 million sq. feet and able to accommodated (sic) 30 million eaters at once, plus it was gonna be totally underwater so people could look at sharks while they ate. But the bank wouldn’t give me my money they owed me. Tito said the check was good for any amount I wanted to write it for. So blame Tito, not me. I’m as innocent as a schoolgirl.”

And if forgery wasn't enough, Waters was also charged with unlawfully carrying Chinese throwing stars and possessing bath salts. He was released after posting $23,000 bail....wonder if that check will clear?
