Forger of Banknotes and Napoleonic Intrigue Revealed
A long account traces Napoleon Bonaparte and a Hamburgh forger Lale in a 1810s police plot to forge Bank of England notes. Lale signed notes with sworn clerks, and fraud spread to seaports bound for England. Several agents were hanged for the scheme as Napoleon sought to cripple his enemies.
