Derby man charged in bank fraud
Hello
On the story below, ask first before you try to pass off privately minted coins as legal tender for any purchase. He must have had his "beer buzz" messed up at the game. -------------------------------------------------- FROM: http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregio...ry/552022.html The Buffalo News City and Region 01/17/09 07:19 AM Derby man charged in bank fraud By T.

Last summer, a judge overturned City Court jury convictions against Buczek and his father, Daniel, 58, in connection with a December 2005 scuffle with a security officer at HSBC Arena after they tried to use privately minted Liberty coins to buy beer. ... |
