Fraud: the use of dishonesty, deception. or false representation in order to gain a material advantage or to injure the interest of others. Sounds good to me :-)

That's a pretty vague definition. If the guy who sold him the ice cream was dumb enough to accept a fake 20 I say it's his loss. Don't do business if you're that stupid.
