@@antoniobriones-jl2ux post your proof, seriously if you post something up that supports your comment I'd really love to see it, if you haven't why would you even post it up. Blows my mind how many claims have been made on videos like this and yet not 1 single person has ever posted anything to support their own comments, that in itself tells you that maybe you don't have the proof and are just here[posting what you think, not what is fact!!! Post up some proof if you want people to believe you, just saying something is not fact or proof, in short it's just hearsay!!!

It is astounding how she convinces these black market operators to talk to her. She is an amazingly great journalist!

[@MrsTraductrice]

I found this show recently and i'm addicted like 100%... SO GOOD. amazing journalist.

[@drlynnhutchinson]

Marianna was able to make contacts, that most men could not make, she also because she is multilingual is able to deal with any situation that she encounters on that person‘s level, which I think in some regard makes the person she is trying to interview feel more comfortable, and will be more willing to speak a little more freely, in a male dominated field of investigative journalism. She is truly one of a kind and irreplaceable as far as I am concerned, she is the best the 21st century has when it comes to real journalism, in depth journalism, I don’t understand why she hasn’t received more accolade because she certainly puts her life on the line every time she goes to do one of her reports, for the average person who might not be aware of all these very terrible things that are going on in today’s worldand yet she does it with the ferocity of lioness. Much respect.

[@poindextertunes]

jesus christ who paid you to type all of that? Was it Marianna? lmao

Not only does Mariana have nerves of steel, her production quality is really good from the videography to the colorization? (I don't know enough, but it looks great too).

[@Nie726]

God bless u mariana … your team are brave …u guys take danger place to bring us a good documentary

[@bromisovalum8417]

On one hand it think it is a crime that should be persecuted, but on the other hand I do have some respect for fine craftsmen, including people that can mcgyver quality counterfeit money. I can always appreciate the hand of the artist, even if it is illegal.

[@RawOlympia]

I think what our gov't is doing is a crime too, just printing money with no backing!

[@optimus3305]

Love these documentaries, especially the part that shows alot of these people aren’t necessarily bad people, but when your in or come from the gutter sometimes you do things your not really proud of to survive, and I certainly know about that, I just appreciate showing the human side of it.

[@josephrobinson5452]

Yeah and she even said out loud where the mall was which sounded like she is intentionally saying certain things for a reason which is something that undercover agents do all the time for court. I always believed she is undercover and nobody knows her government name. She is supplying the government with information and as I said before, those guys are foolish to interview with her.

[@Rose-inspirations]

Printing machines and software have become so amazing that you can now add your own watermark.. so honestly I think it's the type of paper and the feel of money that is more of an art. They are amazing since we have been using the counterfeit money in circulation for years. The bank noticed it and just gives it right back to you because they don't want to be Short on the end of day. It's happened to me.

[@peekayworld2077]
