  "summary": "Police in Singapore have apprehended a Chinese national and a woman after discovering a fake S$100 note among a S$150,000 deposit at the Marina Bay Sands Casino. The incident came to light when a cashier noticed the word “COPY” printed on the suspect note around 3:50 am on August 24. The 33-year-old male suspect was taken to his hotel room, where authorities found a 25-year-old woman leaving with a printer. A search of the woman's possession revealed 121 additional counterfeit S$100 notes, along with ink, paper, and a paper cutter. Both suspects are expected to face charges for conspiring to counterfeit Singapore currency notes, with potential penalties of up to 20 years in prison and a fine if convicted.",
