How Can Anybody Burn 100 Grand on TAPE Literally ?
This is what we keep asking ourselves, after we first heard of this alleged Money Burning incident.
then we saw it - and we have to admit that this demonstration proves without a doubt, that there seems to be a rash of stupidity running through certain neighborhoods lately. we were checking out a lil hip-hop news and noticed this video of two rappers, who honestly are unknowns nationally - burning $100,000.00 in cash. seriously these guys don’t even have pics in google.
Unknown Rappers Jon Geezy & Parlae Burn $100,000 cash money and say ‘U Know What I’m Sayin over 50 times in 4 mins”
Now if We’re not mistaken, isn’t it illegal to deface or destroy us currency ?
we looked up the law and here’s what it says verbatum :
According to What We Found - It is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Criminal Code, Here’s the shortened version of what It says :
“whom so ever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued; shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”
now what do you do, when you figure out the punishment on a crime like the one in the video ? is this statute unclear or what ? honestly we believe it’s meaning is to apply to the act. Not how many pieces of currency you deface. this video has gone Viral on the internet. That’s Why we believe the US Secret Service must have seen it by now. FYI - The US Secret Service is the agency responsible for enforcing Currency Statutes.
Just to think that these Ill Minded Guys would Burn Money, with so many people in need of help these days. we somehow believe that their Karma will catch up with them; and bankrupt them before too long. These are the most Mickey Mouse Orlando Wanna-bee’s we’ve seen in a looooong time. now we know why they burned the money; cause that’s the only way they could get Any Media Attention.
Dum Dee Dum Dum Duuuummmbbbb
