NEW BOOK: SUPERNOTE

A new book tells the story of the multi-year investigation into the "Supernote" counterfeiting ring. -Editor

"Supernote" is a counterfeit $100 bill so undetectable, it threatens to destroy the entire global economy. One United States Secret Service special agent crossed international borders from the Iguazu jungle in Argentina and Paraguay, to casinos in Moscow, safe houses in Beirut and the back allies of Phnom Penh to unravel the distribution routes of the DPRK, Hezbollah, PLO, PFLP and IRA all supporting their lethal operations with Supernote funds. Special agent Ross Garrett's investigation culminates in arresting one of the world's most wanted fugitives and dismantles the infamous Supernote criminal enterprise, unbeknownst to a world oblivious to just how close it otherwise came to global financial chaos.

A CoinWeek article alerted me to this new title. Thanks! -Editor

The "Supernote" was a counterfeit $100 Federal Reserve Note so undetectable that it threatened to destroy the global economy. Retired United States Secret Service Special Agent Jim Davidson traced its distribution as it traveled along international terrorist routes.

During his lengthy career, Davidson protected six Presidents of the United States, as well as kings, queens, prime ministers, foreign presidents, dictators and other heads of state and governments from around the world. He has supervised multiple Secret Service headquarters investigative divisions including the Counterfeit, Fraud, and Forgery Divisions. Davidson represented the Secret Service on the William Bennett Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force, where he went undercover and developed the largest drug-front investigation in the history of the DEA Mid-Atlantic Region.
