In this case about some idiots trying to cash a $1 Billion government bond, something that has never existed, it mentions that both of them have been arrested and both are being "charged", but never mentions the charges or, assuming the charges are some flavor of fraud, exactly who is or was being defrauded. It's like trying to charge someone for trying to pay for something with Monopoly money.

Why doesn't the Secret Service just take it away, everyone laughs, and it goes on the peg board by the coffee maker?
