This came to mind earlier today, and I looked for the citations on this idea specifically (that the bar they worked at was involved in counterfeiting) but couldn’t find anything beyond a rogue 4chan post. This doesn’t seem right, as I remember far more discussion about this issue than that failed search would indicate...
Has this been memory holed or am I misremembering some anon’s guesswork?
No, there were msm articles stating they worked together and a video of the bar owner talking about it.
