LA police hunt man with 'Bourne-like' identity
Los Angeles police are hunting a mystery man who fled as they raided his apartment, leaving behind piles of bogus cash, high-tech counterfeiting equipment and weapons, it was reported Friday.

The Los Angeles Times quoted police officers as saying that the 33-year-old suspect escaped from his high-rise apartment via a back window and via escape in a scene reminiscent of the "Bourne Identity" action films.

<snip>
Police also discovered multiple identification documents including passports under different aliases which has left them wondering who exactly they are hunting, the Times reported.

The 3,400-dollar-a-month penthouse's balcony was also directly opposite the US Federal Reserve Building in downtown Los Angeles.

1. Counterfeiting across the street from the Federal Reserve?
This guy's either crazy or he's a pro and there's a whole lot more to this story.

If they catch him, he's probably just crazy.

If they never find him...

:shrug:

3. Just cooked up a theory about this
It's Russian mobsters jealous of Goldman Sachs, so they're going to arrange their own bailout package with an Ocean's 11-like plot involving swapping the bogus cash for real stuff.

I should write a treatment for that...

2. A picture might have helped
With all those identification papers, you would think the cops would post a picture and ask:

"have you seen this man?"
