Just posted about wife and I arrest for depositing counterfeit Postal Money Orders. Since we did not forge the m/o and did not know that the m/o was a fake we invite a full investigation into the matter.

As a general rule, based on your experience, do banks, the Postal Service and/or the local county District Attorneys - do they normally do "exhaustive" forensic investigations in these matters? Do they do handwriting analysis, detailed forensic examinations to determine the paper stock and its source, printer and ink analysis, analysis of the envelope the m/o arrived in, etc? I am thinking of the type of analysis you normally see on TV shows such as "CSI".

We invite such a investigation but no one has contacted us about such a thorough scientific investigation and there is no evidence of such in the Court records. Is such an analysis an expensive and timely proposition?

Your comments are appreciated.

No . . . what will most likely happen is that a court date will be sent, they will have no proof that you made the counterfeits so the charges will be dropped. If you did wire the money, they you may still have to work through some financial issues with the bank on payment of the money. Including my husband and myself, I only know of a small percentage of victims who have come to out of court settlements with the bank on this matter.
