Buried money scheme trips up El Paso broker
Franz Felhaber, a customs broker with F.C. Felhaber & Co., allegedly shuffled about 20 million in decayed $100 bills through U S banks, trading smaller sums for clean cash. Officials say a 2005 $120,000 exchange at the Federal Reserve linked to his uncle drew scrutiny and raised questions about his methods. The case centers on attempts to convert decaying currency into usable funds.
