CTA Red Line, Chicago, IL

A small group of 4 to 5 men in their twenties or thirties are on the Red Line train platform near 69th Street in Chicago. One man dropped a counterfeit bill and appeared to ignore it, possibly waiting for someone to pick it up. They stayed on the platform even after the trains left. Surveillance showed only a few men spaced apart, not a large crowd.
