New Jersey Guy Busted For Using Movie Prop Money For Months.

Yup Rat Rockers, your reading that title right.  A Jersey guy named James Leonard from South Brunswick. The 41-year-old has been going around spending money that is nowhere near real. We are not talking about "Monopoly," money too. This guy has been going to his local WAWA and spending movie prop money. This crazy dude had this scheme since September. Good old James Leonard must have worked on or been in a movie to even get his hands on that fake cash. I don't know where else you can get it. If I was the judge I would watch the money he tries to use to bail himself out.

Jersey Guy And What Bills He Was Using And The Charges He Faces.

The bills that James Leonard was tossing out consisted of $50's and $100's. He used just over $600 worth of the money.  Now if you have ever seen fake movie money you will notice that on the bill it states " for motion picture only," and it has really big font letters. This is all along the front and also in smaller letters down the side. He was doing this during normal business hours, so it was busy at the stores and the clerks were too occupied to notice it. The bank was not too busy though they got in touch with the police and before you knew it they were all over James. The local WAWA even got his picture posted up in the store. So now James "Not So Bond" is being charged with theft by deception and uttering a forged document. You can get more information by clicking right HERE.

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano and Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano seek counseling in HBO's hit television series, "The Sopranos" (Year 3).

The Sopranos changed television forever.  Upon its release, critics were praising it as possibly the most cinematic show ever and many stated in 1999 during the show's first season that The Sopranos was as good as any movie in theaters.  The acting, writing, cinematography, music, and story-telling were all top shelf.  Between creator David Chase's brilliant vision of a modern mob family in North Jersey...and James Gandolfini's iconic acting...the show instantly became iconic.
