Counterfeit

I've long wondered what is likely to happen if you get caught passing counterfeit bills that you didn't know were counterfeit that you had gotten from an ATM or bank. Obviously there's no way to know in this case what exactly happened.
Ulises Garcia said he was withdrawing cash from a Wachovia Bank and depositing it into a Bank of America so he could pay his bills online. However, the Bank of America teller noticed something funny about 10 of the 36 $100 bills Garcia said he received from Wachovia Bank -- they were counterfeit, Local 6's Tony Pipitone reported. However, the bank has not given Garcia or his fiancé, Joann Rodriguez, any money.
