Padraic. I'm operating under the assumption that she has a serious mental problem. I don't believe even a 7 year old would think a million dollar bill is real. The people at the Hilton will decide if she needs to stay or have her medication tweaked. The police will just facilitate her arrival, happens all the time. The most she is guilty of is disturbing the peace and or trespass and that won't go anywhere. |

Padraic. There is something wrong here. Did she think it was it was a million dollar bill, or may be thousand bill. She sounds like an imbecile. She should have known the bill was bogus, so by trying to pay with it, she was attempting fraud. Comments please Tony |

Comments please I think the standard for fraud would be that a normal reasonable person would believe the bill is real. The gene pool might be thinning out but not that much, yet... |

Padraic. I'm operating under the assumption that she has a serious mental problem. Fine. I'm not - not untill I've heard a diagnosis. I don't believe even a 7 year old would think a million dollar bill is real. They're easy (and fun!) to convince. Adults can be pretty gullible too, for that matter. The people at the Hilton will decide if she needs to stay or have her medication tweaked. The police will just facilitate her arrival, happens all the time. Which is quite a different matter! The most she is guilty of is disturbing the peace and or trespass and that won't go anywhere. I wouldn't even say she's guilty of those! Trespassing? She has the same rights to be in the store as anyone else. Disturbing the peace? Could be. Depends on how loud she was, I guess.

Who knows. She sounds like an imbecile. She sounds more like someone trying to dupe some dumb cashier - and got caught red handed. She should have known the bill was bogus, so by trying to pay with it, she was attempting fraud. Comments please Without further information, everything is pointless speculation. Fraud? Trumped up. You'd probably have to demonstrate or prove _intent_ to defraud. As Devil's Advocate, I'd say all she did was merely offer the cashier some money in exchange for the merchandise. He (rightfully) refused it. It sounds like the old story about the man who offered gold plated racketeer nickels in exchange for small purchases and got several dollars in change. If the clerk takes the bait, that's his loss. Mind you, I can't see how any clerk would be stupid enough to accept a million dollar bill.
