I used to work in fraud, and I remember reading about a case where someone had convinced a loan manager to grant them a rather large loan.

Never underestimate people's stupidity.

Why dont we print serial numbers from say some crap country like Greece or France, then the EU will never know. Pay off every loan in the country and play it all innocent to the ECB

It would lead to hyperinflation meaning our money would become worthless.

This is great, I laughed. It could work. We'd have all the secuity watermarks, smells, silver strips and codes from scooby doo on it and no-one would believe the greeks didn't do it, as they are considered bogey anyway.
