Fort Worth, Texas, America. A 21-year-old North Texas man Charles Ray Fuller was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion (euro230 billion) cheque saying he wanted to start a record business, authorities said.
Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious as Fuller didn't even have a bag to hold the money or perhaps it was the 10 zeros on a personal cheque that tipped them off but they were on the ball for this one .

Fuller was arrested on a forgery charge, police said. He was released after writing a cheque for $3,750 (euro2,400) bail.
Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business, but bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the cheque as she knew she only had $240 billion in the bank and did not want to pay the outrageous overdraw fees, according to police.
In addition to forgery, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon as he had a .25-caliber handgun and magazine 'Maxim' and less than 2 ounces of marijuana in his possession , Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.
Actor Robert Duvall was available for comment: "Texans, the lowest form of white man there is. "
