If you write a series of bad checks

The bad checkster, that's you. You write em up all over town. Buy a pack of gum with a check to get twenty back in cash. Schemes like that. You buy game systems with a bad check and return them a few hours later saying your nephew already got one for his birthday so you get cash back. The scam funds flow into your project. You now have everything you need time to put your nose to that grindstone.
