counterfeit U.S. currency.
Arthur Acosta, 43, was sentenced by U.S.
District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff in federal court

"The evidence presented at trial established
that coconspirators manufactured $400,000 of a
specific type of counterfeit currency in Boston,
Mass," said Patrick Corbett, the assistant U.S.
attorney who prosecuted tbe case.

defendant on two occasions exchanged
counterfeit money for stolen clothes," Corbett

surfaced, after being passed as genuine at
locations in Detroit, Saginaw. Flint and Lansing,
as well as locations in the Boston area and San
