Funny fingerprint find

[ER]

While the text is disastrously hilarious. (It sounds like a 6th grade science project or a blogger who's first language isn't English), the upside-down picture is interesting.

How long did it take you to see the face?

I must have been looking at that print for about 10 minutes, stepped away from the computer, and only saw the face from a distance.

I wonder what kind of bias this is? Can't-see-the-forest-through-the-trees bias? You-see-what-you-expect-to-see bias?

Here's another funny fingerprint find.

This has got to be the funniest article about a robbery (and about fingerprints) that I've ever seen!!

"According to the report, the suspects then pulled out a fingerprint kit and forced the victim to "submit to giving his fingerprints on a piece of paper." "

Seriously? I wonder how much time you get for this? Is it possible that the suspect is a researcher who was having a hard time getting participants

Sounds like the makings of the latest Dror study to me.....

Trader And Friend Debate Whether Or Not To Run Money Through The Washing Machine To Get Rid Of Fingerprints
Courtney Comstock | Apr. 6, 2011

This is a hilarious conversation that took place between trader Garrett Bauer and the middleman who allegedly helped him insider trade.

Bauer and an M&A lawyer, Matt Kluger, were charged with insider trading today.

During a phone conversation about how to cover up their actions, the middleman suggests actually washing the money.

Bauer is skeptical, but ultimately, they go for it.

Bauer: "We have to get all the fingerprints off that money."

Middleman: "Yeah."

Bauer: "Like you wearing gloves or something and wiping every bill down or something. But it has to be done. Or as, like, you giving it to me and me wiping every bill down."

Middleman: "You know something. Somebody did say, 'why don't you just run it through a dish-, a dish-washing machine?"

Bauer: "Well, I don't know. I mean, I've seen that in the movies but I don't know -- who said that? Someone said that to you?"

Middleman: "Yeah [laughing, my cousin did. He goes, 'run it through a washing mashing.' And I'm like, "you can do that?' and he goes, 'yeah.' And I go 'alright.'"

Ultimately, he decides to go for it.

Middleman: "Well I'm thinking that the best case would be just to run it through a washing machine. Umm, although I would like to be the ones that does it. I don't want to bring it back to my house anytime soon... Bring it to somebody else's house and wash it there... And you know something, it's being paranoid. But you y'know, it's better to be paranoid than to take risks."

A clear case of Money Laundering.
