Just finished reading the entire article. What a trip. Like it mentioned, it would have got more national attention if the trial hadn't started the day before the 9/11 attacks.

Did I read that right? Dude only got 37 months in jail and some others are only having to pay back $50/month?
White collar crimes do pay.
Sadly. They need to be thankful 9/11 happened. This went way under the radar to the point their sentences are all a joke.

I already knew McDonalds monopoly game was rigged, it was used as marketing tool for people to buy more McDonald's food while the game was running.
Stupid I remember buying a ish load of fries everyday after high school cause I had 2 green pieces and needed one more.

Interesting. Jacobsen got too greedy. From a perspective they believe the mafia may have ratted. Another thing was that guy who lived not so far away who wasn’t supposed to claim the win. Which added up later against the winners.....

Dude got too greedy too fast, if he would have just kept it to himself or a very tight close circle and spread it out more he could have gotten away with it.
The story made him out to be Paul Blart

My mom was actually the lead forensic accountant in this case- it was a while ago but a really big deal for the FBI at the time. The really took these guys down hard and McDonald's monopoly has never been the same sense.

Jacobson got caught purely because he wanted to make friends that all lived in a 100 mile radius. All he had to do was travel and have an operation on every coast

Great read! Guy could have cashed in a hand full of times over a decade and likely gotten away with it, instead he got greedy. Definitely movie material.

It was the gray one. I’m just now finding out that the inside of the bag had to say you were a winner as well

could mcdonalds get sued now for having a corrupt game, where people bought food just to get pieces back in the day ...... when no real prize was ever going to be paid off
