If they spent the counterfeit money, then they themselves committed a felony. If they cannot produce the evidence that the money they received is counterfeit, which is their claim and not that they did not receive the cash or the withdrawal was not authorized, then I would have no problem with denying the claim. Under Regulation E, the transaction was properly authorized.
