The Sorel resident had been convicted several times for uttering fake documents and using or circulating counterfeit money, including twice in 2002, again in 2006, and once in 2009.

Nine months is less than a slap on the wrist, considering his criminal history.

I totally agree Hondo. Again the Gov't dropped the ball by not hold a press conference and educating.

At this point with such unequal sentences for the crimes I'm not so sure that spreading the word is a good idea. I don't see this news deterring any criminals some might even see this as a low risk opportunity to come up with their own ideas about how to profit from counterfeiting.
