Phony money for phony affection. Kind of makes sense. It's all about fantasy right? So what better fantasy than fabulous amounts of money?
But, WTF? He printed them out on his printer? Total dumbass. The paper is one of the hardest parts to fake they say.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State's top rusher, Lydell Ross, was cleared Thursday of allegations that he passed fake in-house currency at a local all-nude strip club hours after the team's loss at Iowa last month.
Ross, a senior tailback, had been named in a complaint filed by Pure Platinum after he allegedly handed a dancer at the club $50 worth of fake or stolen Pure Platinum bills to pay for a dance on Oct. 17. Earlier that day, the Buckeyes had lost their third game in a row, 33-7 at Iowa.
The bills Ross gave the dancer did not have registration numbers and she turned them in to club owners.
The complaint was investigated by Columbus police who determined that the Pure Platinum bills in question might have been old, unmarked bills printed by a previous owner. Detectives determined that the club did not suffer any financial loss because it did not pay the dancer for the bills she received from Ross.
An additional $1,750 worth of unmarked bills were also passed at the club in the four days leading up to the night Ross attended the club. The club was not able to determine who passed those bills.
Ross was suspended for the Indiana game and was in uniform but did not play last week against Penn State. Coach Jim Tressel said Ross would likely play for the Buckeyes this week at Michigan State.
