Only paper instead of money

Why you can’t cheat dealers

Instead of money in exchange for drugs, there was only paper in Carinthia.

Anyone who imagines that fraud always involves a crook conning an innocent victim is mistaken. The law makes no distinction as to who is conning whom. And so a trial in Carinthia is seriously revolving around whether a drug dealer who was tricked by a customer into buying coke with paper instead of cash came to harm.

When it comes to a drug deal, you would think that drug dealing would turn into a trial. Not so in Carinthia, where an addict's confession turned into an unusual trial for a white-collar crime. But first things first.
