Dave Lake, former Detective Sergeant for the Phoenix Police Department, who is also a businessman, recounts a story of a notorious counterfeiter of … coupons. The real facts prove as counter to a Hollywood comedy based on the case. As with many who enter the crime of counterfeiting, this criminal lived a lavish lifestyle but ended up ultimately paying the price. Though the true tragedy of this story is that the price will also be paid by U.S. consumers who can no longer rely on coupons to make ends meet.
