The counterfeit $20 bill that cost George Floyd his life is now part of the murder case against the ex-Minneapolis cops charged in his death, according to court records made public Wednesday.
The lawyer for accused former cop Thomas Lane said the crumpled bills found between the seats of Floyd’s SUV put the officer on alert from the start after Floyd repeatedly reached down and ignored 10 requests to show his hand.
'All from a counterfeit bill': What we know about fake currency and George Floyd's death

MINNEAPOLIS — Counterfeit bills circulated in the Minneapolis neighborhood around Cup Foods before an alleged $20 forgery led to George Floyd's death in police custody on Memorial Day.
"I've seen my share of counterfeit bills," said P.J. Hill, a resident of the neighborhood, community leader and a member of the Worldwide Outreach for Christ Ministries located across the intersection from Cup Foods, where the report of the fake bill was made to police.
Two other nearby business owners said they did not have a problem with counterfeits or know they were an issue.
Floyd allegedly used a counterfeit bill to buy cigarettes at the convenience store last week. The clerk reported it to police, a step that management described as store policy in Facebook posts.
"It went from a counterfeit bill, to a man being killed, to millions of people around the nation just hurting," Hill said. "Then to people being angry and responding in a militant way and destroying, burning cities. Then to a grieving and trying to protest."
"You just think about that, all from a counterfeit bill," Hill said.
In Minnesota, the highest penalty for knowingly using counterfeit money less than $1,000 is up to 1 year in prison and a fine up to $3,000.
Counterfeit Money Is The Motive Behind Gangland's George Floyd Arson And Looting Riots

–Counterfeit from China–
Now let's deal with what's behind the police's harsh dealings with George Floyd, basically the question of. fake money flooding Minnesota. In mid-December, during the Christmas rush, U.S. Customs officials seized $900,000 in fake one-dollar bills printed in China , rolling into the USA inside a cargo train at the Canada-Minnesota border crossing at International Falls. Obviously customs officers had been tipped off by state troopers and local police that cities like St. Paul-Minneapolis were being overwhelmed with counterfeit, affecting especially the poorer neighborhoods. The employee at Cup Foods obviously has since then been trained to use a counterfeit detector at the cash register.
Nearly a million in fake dollars is just the tip of the iceberg floating onto American shores. Over the past five years, there's been a spectacular rise in counterfeit of low denomination, especially $20 bills now that C-notes are routinely checked by cashiers. At any given time, there's more than $70 million in circulation across the USA, nearly all of that being newly smuggled notes, following routine detection at currency exchanges and banks sending bundles to the U.S. Treasury for inspection.
