    McDonalds Monopoly Game Rigged

    The guy in charge of the monopoly game security gave all the big prizes to people he knew for kickbacks. Looks like Druff wasted a lot of years.

    I'd heard of the scandal before, but not in this much detail. Great read.

    Is the Von's one rigged? A couple years ago my wife, mother in law and another family member probably pooled up 1000+ stickers and then me and my wife were stuck with going through them all. Of course, we had every piece on the board except the one rare piece from each category. I don't think we won a single prize over $20 in value. Such a colossal waste of hours of time.

    Very interesting read indeed. Can't believe they all got off that easy.

    Bump.

    HBO has a mini series/documentary on this, McMillions.

    Lots of stuff we didn't know about before, all from the perspective of the FBI, maybe a little over produced Oceans 11 vibe, but I enjoyed it.

    Friend of mine just got through raving about this. He and his wife would pause the show and review the evidence between themselves

    He’s a middle aged guy and he said to me, “Sanlmar, how did we not know about this? No one talked about it”.

    I was always disinterested in the subject but EVERYONE loves the documentary as you obviously did.

    I guess I’m in.

    Guy is a BOA mortgage broker who services the Merrill Lynch wealth management clients. We talked for 2 hours.

    I never really showed any interest in his job before. Now he’s the toast of the neighborhood. Lol.

    The reason nobody knew about it is because 9/11 happened

    Very well produced documentary even if you're someone like me who didn't give a damn about the game even as a younger kid, nor do I really care for McDonald's in general.

    It's all about the way the corruption went down and it could have gone on even longer if certain things don't occur.

    I won't spoil this for now maybe I'll revisit this thread in a month or two after more people watch it.

    The part about the fax in ep 5 was pretty funny. Also, the last 10 minutes of ep 6 was an interesting ending.
