I'm pretty sure this is still illegal, he's attempting to put the money into circulation by giving people the false impression that it is real legal tender.

Like hypothetically if you're so charismatic that you manage to convince a bank teller that a piece of printer paper you wrote "Gay Sex" on with a crayon is actual legal tender I still think that counts as counterfeiting, because you're still putting false currency into circulation.

Selling all my holdings in Iraqi dinars to reinvest in gay sex bux

the problem is its a rich guy allegedly doing this to homeless people

The least likely to be treated fairly under the law of this country scenario I can think of other than if it was 1820 and he was doing this to actual slaves

Oh I doubt he'd ever see the inside of a jail cell over this.

However, if enough people reported him for this it maybe enough for the Dept. of the Treasury to send him a notice or something which would probably scare him into not doing it anymore.

the Dept. of the Treasury to send him a notice or something which would probably scare him into not doing it anymore.

What'll likely happen is that he'll claim he's being censored by the "woke homeless loving radical liberal leftists" or something

Yes he likely will but I think the Dept of the Treasury won't be swayed by that argument

Where am I supposed to redeem my gay sex coupons?!
