He spent $18 on the sweater. -18
He gained 0 by receiving a fake $100 bill. +0
He gained $100 worth of change from the neighbor. +100
He gave the customer $79. -79
He had to give neighbor back $100. -100

-18 + 0 + 100 - 79 - 100 = -97

He is out $97.

did Fax get his sweater back?

And why would Fax give the neighbor/buyer back a legit $100? The buyer was passing around a counterfeit bill. If anything, Fax should be receiving $79 back and the sweater.

Let's not go pulling threads on this one.

heh, I assume you are just messing with us.... right?

Why would Fax go to the buyer to change the hundred that the buyer just gave him?

Why did Fax sell his neighbor's sweater?

Fax could have used one of those markers to detect counterfeit bills. Of course, if the sweater buyer was some hood rat, she would have come over the counter (two sawhorses with a sheet of plywood covered in an old tablecloth) at which point Fax would have had to go "steel pipe" on her ass.


The ensuing legal proceedings would likely cost Fax considerably, but its hard to put value on being known in your neighborhood as " bad, bad, Fax Brown".

Lost amidst the conflict in this thread is the newly discovered fact the Msmith is a Fax mult.
