"Extreme couponers" is the wrong term to describe these folks. They were coupon counterfeiters. The article even states how the perpetrators didn't use the coupons themselves.

I think the article messed up there. The FBI press release claims that they did use the coupons themselves. Maybe the link should be changed?
