    .... with respect to the other Omega thread referenced above.

    The more sensationalism and "drama" there is, the more I tend to discredit the information. Just tell me the story and present the facts. That particular story was dribbled out in tasty little snippets, with way more flash than substance. Or, as they say in Texas, "All hat, no cattle."

    There were factual errors in the story also, including around the background of the individual himself.

    Has anyone seen the movie allegedly being made about his Zodiac killer investigations? When last in these parts, he was hyping that alleged movie that was "coming this year". Been about 3 years and I haven't seen it.

    I'm confused. I've never heard of an Omega counterfeit $10. In previous threads I can only find mention of the $20 and the $3. Is there also a confirmed $10 floating around? If so please post a picture!

    "He made some ten dollar coins, as well, 1910, 1913 and 1926 coins of this series, the symbol is also in the Omega."
