Making It (Fake) Rain

Floyd Mayweather (a boxer for those of you who didn't know), was at PURE (a nightclub in Las Vegas) on Saturday (the day that falls between Friday and Sunday). While attempting to do his best Pacman Jones impression and "make it rain", Mayweather's friends began handing out stacks of $100 bills to people around the club. Good times had by all. Except for one person at the club, who attempted to purchase some gas later that evening with one of the $100 bills he was handed. Here's the story from SandraRose.com :
My photographer Freddy O was almost arrested at a gas station this morning after trying to pay for gas with one of the counterfeit $100 bills that boxer Floyd Mayweather tossed in the air at Club PURE last night.According to Fred (and several others in attendance) Mayweather’s “boys” were handing him the stacks of hundreds.There is speculation that one of his “boys” switched out the real hundreds for the counterfeit hundreds and kept the real cash for himself. I would be inclined to believe that maybe Floyd didn’t know what his boys were doing, except that this has happened before!Some club patrons in Las Vegas also complained about Mayweather tossing counterfeit bills earlier this year. We’re not talking fake bills of the copy machine variety - we’re talking print shop quality counterfeit bills.

This sounds like Mayweather could be in a lot of trouble if this is true and he knew about the counterfit bills. People making fake money isn't high on the list of things the Feds like to hear about.
