from: US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania
In December of 2013, officers detected the use of counterfeit bills in Pittsburgh, when a man bought a $3.85 latte in a Peet’s Coffee shop and was given $96.15 in real currency. The same man was found on many surveillance videos engaging in similar activity. Police identified the man as Joseph Graziano, who had been receiving packages from Gusafson at a rented mailbox in a UPS Store.
The story unfolds from there and is not likely to have a happy ending for Gusafson or his accomplices.

New Criminal Charges were pressed against an existing case involved Ryan Andrew Gusafson, a young man who went by the name “Jack Farrel” or “Willy Clock” when he was online. Gusafson allegedly distributed over $1.4 million of counterfeit money via Dark Web sites.
Gusafson, age 27, is an American who prosecutors believe is living in Uganda and is currently on trial in the African nation re: counterfeiting charges.
The United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, who is leading the case, is reported as saying: “If he gets convicted and goes to prison, that’s fine with us.”
There are three other men facing severe charges; these young men live in the United States and have been summoned to upcoming court hearings in Pittsburgh. If they do not appear, arrest warrants will be issued.
One of the most bizarre and extreme details of this case is the length Gustafson went to in order to conceal his illegal activities. He used “Anon hands” which are similar to gloves and conceal the wearer’s actual fingerprints.
