They say crime doesn't pay, but that's exactly what it did for Art Williams Jr.
Williams Jr. grew up in Bridgeport. His mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and his father did time himself before leaving the family for good.

In 1996, the U.S. Department of the Treasury created a new design for currency to curb counterfeiting. One of these designs was a new $100 dollar bill, but Williams Jr. soon perfected a replica. He estimates he replicated more than 15 million dollars over his 15-year run.
