Paine believes that they will escape due to legal maneuverings related to the act of Congress that makes counterfeiting money a felony. Specifically, that the Congressional act uses the term emitted makes it so that the offenders can argue that "the Act cannot be applied to any Money emitted after the date of the Act". Paine describes what he believes Congress intended by the term "emitted". He encourages Congress to remedy situation.
