Retired agent Tim Gallagher reviews his investigation of a multi-state check counterfeiting ring that operated out of Northeast Ohio. They hit banks and businesses with fake payroll checks and bogus personal checks, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of check fraud losses. In addition to several convictions, the case also resulted in the recovery of the remains of a cooperating witness most likely murdered to stop him from testifying, but never proven. Tim Gallagher served in the FBI for 22 years.   Check out episode show notes, photos, and related articles: https://jerriwilliams.com/293-tim-gallagher-fatal-fake-check-fraud/         Buy me a coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JerriWilliams     Join my Reader Team to get the FBI Reading Resource - Books about the FBI, written by FBI agents, the 20 clichés about the FBI Reality Checklist, and keep up to date on the FBI in books, TV, and movies via my monthly email.
