The Man Who Printed $250,000,000 and Fooled the FBI

This true crime documentary tells the unbelievable story of Frank Bourassa — the man who created one of the most sophisticated counterfeit money operations in history. A Canadian counterfeiter who printed over $250 million in fake US dollars, Bourassa managed to fool banks, businesses, and even law enforcement agencies for years. His near-perfect counterfeit bills, often called “supernotes,” were so advanced that they passed standard detection tests and circulated across North America without raising suspicion.

In this documentary, we break down how Frank Bourassa built a massive underground counterfeit empire, how he sourced high-security paper, replicated US currency features, and distributed millions in fake cash through criminal networks. We explore how the FBI and Secret Service tracked the operation, how the investigation unfolded, and how Bourassa ultimately negotiated his way out of a life sentence.

This is a story about crime, intelligence, risk, and the illusion of easy money. A deep dive into one of the biggest counterfeiting cases ever uncovered — and the man who almost got away with it.
