Man Made Millions Making Fake Public Transportation Passes
A Massachusetts man is facing larceny charges for allegedly producing millions of dollars' worth of counterfeit monthly passes for Boston area public transportation lines that were then sold online at discounted rates.
The report said that as far back as 2007, Townes produced and sold up to 20,000 of the illegally produced passes through websites, including Craigslist. The MBTA traced 400 passes in March alone that totaled about $70,000.
