Re: Jury Duty

Wouldn't that be Treasury / Secret Service?
Just a guess.

Re: Jury Duty

Interesting side note, or let's make it a quiz . . . Those who know this story leave it alone . . . What law enforcement agency holds jurisdiction over counterfeiting? No Googling . . .

Secret Service was my guess as a Canuck. It is based on the fact that I really wouldn't know much about the US enforcement outside of the FBI or Secret Service. FBI makes sense to me, but because you said 'interesting' I guess Secret Service.

Now, off to google the right answer....

Re: Jury Duty

Yeah, it is the Secret Service which I found odd . . . I guess it makes sense to some, but I originally assumed FBI until the Secret Service showed up to take her away . . .

and I believe "out of country" counterfeiting, like N Korea doing it is handled by the FBI.

Again, I was with you and only guessed the other because it was a quiz and it couldn't be the obvious (again, I'm Canadian and only know the two)

However, after I googled it, I found the history part interesting of when they took it on as part of their mandate.

Interesting stuff on the history and volume of counterfeit money. Now there is less counterfeit money, just more counterfeit banks and their execs

Re: Jury Duty

I have never been called for jury duty, and I would actually enjoy it. I think I would make a good juror, too.

That is precisely why they would probably not accept you. You think the defense attorney wants a 'good juror'? Hah!

Let me rephrase, I think I would be a FAIR juror.
