quote [ China’s central bank denied a rumor that a detained senior official forged $314 billion worth of banknotes. ]
The rumor is the deputy general manager of the company in charge of printing Chinese bank notes printed duplicates of 2 trillion yuan worth of bills. So not really forgeries, but duplicates with duplicate serial numbers. The scale would be ridiculous for a crime, but not if it was being done secretly by China in a sort of Ponzi scheme of money, with one set issued for use outside of China and one for use inside of China.
