Counterfeit Currency Scheme Exposed in Harrisburg Area Stores
A Chicago man has been sentenced to 9 months in prison for passing $1,700 in counterfeit United States currency at retail stores in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties.
Anthony Derrell Manuel, 32, of Chicago, was sentenced on February 16, 2021, by United States District Court Judge Christopher C. Conner to 9 months’ imprisonment followed by one year of supervised release.
According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Manuel previously pled guilty to passing and attempting to pass counterfeit currency and aiding and abetting the commission of this offense with three co-defendants. The offenses occurred at retail stores in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties on September 4, 2019.
As part of his sentence, Manuel was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,700.
The case was investigated by the United States Secret Service and the Lower Paxton Township Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian T. Haugsby prosecuted the case.
Manuel’s actions resulted in significant financial losses for the affected businesses, and his sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in such crimes.
The U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement agencies continue to work together to prevent and investigate cases of counterfeit currency, ensuring the integrity of our financial system.
