Sometimes I am pretty shocked at how stupid some criminals can be.<\/p>\n
I think I've watched too many films where the bad guys are masterminding daring robberies and fooled myself into thinking they're all intelligent.<\/p>\n
Brazilian fraudster Ricardo Sergio Freire de Barros has been caught after he tried to open a bank account using a fake ID that had a picture of Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson on it.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old was being tracked by police and was found to already have 36 cheque books and four credit cards.<\/p>\n
Officials confirmed after the man's capture that there was "no resemblance between the suspect and the actor".<\/p>\n
Mr Barros has been charged with using fake documents, but astonishingly he has denied it.<\/p>\n
Maybe the criminal watched one too many of Nicholson's movies where he plays the bad guy – such as in The Departed or Batman – and convinced himself that the paperweight plan would work.<\/p>\n
