The Decade Long McDonald’s Heist That Scammed Us All

McDonald's is one of the most famous and recognisable brands in the entire world, and yet for over a decade no one knew that all of the competitions they ran were completely Rigged!

For over 12 years a rogue employee was stealing all of the high value prizes, amounting to over $30 million dollars, & selling them off to family, friends, & later, other individuals. The craziest thing is, the only reason this theft was discovered was because a bystander called in a tip to the FBI.


As the FBI investigated, they discovered McDonald's was on the cusp of running another game, so they reached out to McDonald's and McDonald's ultimately decided to let the FBI observe & investigate the new game, even though they knew it was completely rigged.


So that's what we'll be discussing today, from the tip, to the FBI investigation, to how this whole scam was orchestrated and ran, how they managed to steal the highly protected prizes worth millions & also, who the FBI informant was. I also take a trip home to Tampa, Florida to sit down with a friend of mine who was the entire reason this entire scheme came crumbling down. So sit back relax & let's dive in to the McDonald's $30 million dollar scam!
