Secret Service busts Columbus phony fund makers

Secret Service agents working in Columbus have arrested four people believed to be major players in counterfeit money operations. The office says that the amount of phony bills coming out of the city has increased rapidly in the last several months. Agents collected $500,000 in fake funds all of last year. But in the first part of this year, they were averaging more than $320,000 per month. The Secret Service says that most of the fraudulent dough ties back to a member of the group just arrested.  (jj)
