Jim the Penman
During the mid-1800s, one third of all paper money in America was thought to be fake. It was the golden age of counterfeiting, and one exceptionally talented con artist stood out from all the rest. His fakes were nearly perfect\u2026but for a trademark tell. Known to law enforcement only as \u201cJim the Penman,\u201d this celebrity criminal led many Americans to wonder: can great art truly be criminal?\xa0
