The following press release was published by the U.S. Secret Service on Jan. 3, 2020. It is reproduced in full below.

Michael Ogden, age 38, was sentenced on Dec. 18, 2019, to 41 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised released, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Michael Ogden was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2018, together with Mary Autry and Marcus Franklin. The charges relate to the trio using printers, paper, and chemicals to convert legitimate $10 U.S. currency bills into counterfeit $100 U.S. currency bills. Using this equipment, they manufactured and passed thousands of dollars of counterfeit U.S. $100 bills in South Dakota and other states.

The investigation was conducted by the Rapid City Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Kelderman prosecuted the case.

Ogden was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. Autry and Franklin are awaiting sentencing.
