Just like everything else these days, lawyers are expensive.
So when 19-year-old William Chadwick Jones found himself facing fraud charges in Forsythe, Georgia, he did what any rational person would do.
He wrote some more bad checks to hire the best lawyer he could find.
$545,770.97 in bad checks, to be exact.
Jones opened a business account with Synovus Bank in Alpharetta.
Investigators said shortly after Jones deposited five bogus checks totaling $545,770.97 into the account via mobile deposit.
Police said the money was quickly moved through wire transfers, debit card purchases, and peer-to-peer payment platforms like Zelle.
Not all that money went to pay the lawyer. He also bought a Porsche.
(He was going to need to get to and from the courthouse for his trial after all.)
Jones faces another slew of fraud charges as investigators continue to look into just how deep this kid's rabbit hole goes.
The only question is: How will he pay for his lawyer for this next case?
