Global Counterfeiting Ring Operated NJ Printing Plant

Among the seized equipment were two offset presses and 20 printing plates bearing the U.S. Treasury seal, serial numbers and the 100 numeral in color-shifting ink, the paper reported, citing the indictment.

Prosecutors charge that Itzhak Loz and Ronen Fakiro purchased the warehouse unit in January and had printing equipment shipped there from Israel a month later. The move to New Jersey was an effort to reduce their operating costs.
