Counterfeiting
is worth $250,000 and 20 years in prison.
There
are several groups of items that can be counterfeited.
- money
- goods and related
elements
- documents and
related elements
When
it comes to money counterfeiting, the illegal action may include printing out
fake bills, changing real money, or providing any other illegal changes. The
term money doesn’t only include the
currency used for business transactions. Any valuable item that is used to
store value is counted into this category.

Goods
counterfeiting includes copying the design of trademarked products or using the
name of a trademarked company to sell fake products. Goods are counterfeited
for the purpose of cashing in the well-known brands name with inferior goods.
Counterfeiting also occurs in relations to legal documents and any traits that can be found on
these documents (stamps, seals). Documents are either illegally created, or
changed through an unauthorized action.
The
punishment for counterfeiting depends on the circumstances and the subject of
the crime, the quantity, and the consequences it had on the surroundings.
Punishment for money related counterfeiting can be up to 20 years in prison
with a fine of $250,000. The impact of confirmed charges can , however, be even
bigger, if the financial consequences have been either very bad or very good
for certain parties.
