Side note: it's a function of that testosterone crippled brain that you are so focused on dicks, and your own dick in particular. Guess what? Take estrogen for a while and you will lose focus on that body part to the point where it doesn't even matter anymore. There is so much more to being a woman that genitals, like the depth and complexity of emotions and bonding with others in ways that are literally incomprehensible to you.

Great article but WTD????????

If I wanted real life drama I’d watch the news. This sub is for the wilfully ignorant ty

i fukken owned you.

I was young but if I remember right there were a lot people in trailers mad that their retirement plan of eating more McDonald’s was rigged.

From skimming through this long article, it seems to me like it would've been really easy to do this a whole lot more inconspicuously, especially if they had been less greedy.

He was somewhat good with that for awhile.

Then the strip club mafioso got killed in a car accident and it seems like Uncle Jerry had to be less selective in who to bring in. The moment the Mormon dude enters the scene, his idiot Mormon foster kid and sister-in-law begin laying enough strings for the FBI to follow.

I think that it has to have been someone from the mobster connection that gave the tip off though. I seriously doubt that he was introducing himself as "Uncle Jerry" to people. Yeah the Mormons were leaving behind a lot of clues but a clue that nobody is looking for is useless.

Unrelated note: your username is the best/worst.

The thing starting to spiral out of the control when the mobster came in. This guy had a irresistible urge to prove himself.

I feel like that actually helped him out, they weren't able to pin down the connection between everyone for a while

The main weakness I see in his plan is that even if he trusts the "winner", he's got them doing stuff like moving to another state that they have to explain to their families. When you've got dozens of families who know about the conspiracy, it's only a matter of time before one gets into a fight and someone calls in a tip.

Imagine how many of these schemes never get found out because the perpetrators weren't flaming morons. Heck the unusual M&M was right in this story, and no one got caught.

The tip to the FBI came in March of 2000. Special Agent Dent called Amy Murray, the McDonald’s spokesperson, to say he believed that William Fisher, the $1 million winner of the 1996 “Deluxe Monopoly Game,” was a fraud. Murray was a quick-thinking Midwesterner who had risen through the ranks at McDonald’s, and was often the public face of the company during any drama. She was the “McQueen” of McDonald’s, said Joe Maggard, a disgraced Ronald McDonald actor who was convicted of making harassing phone calls while posing as the clown.

This story is like a 90s word diorama of a whole bunch of fucking weirdos.

/>Sicilian mobsters and a Columbo family capo who is a dead ringer for Tony soprano

/>convicted cocaine traffickers

/>an ex cop with a spiritual guru who also does chiropractic work

/>and now a disgraced Ex Ronald McDonald actor who was convicted of making harassing calls while posing as a clown. 🤡

There's enough material here to write a comedic screenplay based on the crime.

Honk Honk.

Basically how they built California.

I’m always amazed at what the fbi wastes their time with

As an 80s kid, this pissed me off so bad the first time I read about it that I refuse to go to McDonald's to this day. It makes me mad all over again every time they bring this promotion back.

😂😂😂

I am way too young for this story, but this is a good one nonetheless.

This was a McSting.

lol

This should be a 6 part tv movie

Wow, wonder what motivated the author do so much research on this now?

Props to the Jeff Maysh. This article is well written and an entertaining read. A surprising departure from what I've come to expect from the Daily Beast.
