On August 28, 2013, David Nelson Chasse was sentenced to four months incarceration, three years supervised release with special conditions, $100 assessment, and $59,989.87 restitution.  Chasse forged and counterfeited postage meter stamps in denominations of $0.61, $1.73, $4.95 and $9.55 .

According to the Gazette:

Chasse was caught after the U.S. Postal Inspection Service monitored the postage on his company’s mail and found some of it was counterfeit. He acquired the postage online with the intention to use it for his business, The Birthday Company Incorporated. A website for the company indicates it sells greeting cards.

Shortly after some of the postage was found to be counterfeit, authorities seized several thousand dollars of counterfeit metered postage stamps through a federal search warrant at Chasse’s home. The release said the man made copies of the postage and used it when he was mailing business materials.
