What: Read this article from The Daily Beast before it inevitably gets turned into a movie. The title -- "How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions" -- also functions as a summary.
The story really does have everything: thwarted ambitions, creeping greed, psychics, double crosses, hubris, undercover operations, and sheer jackassery.
It also comes complete with ready-made set pieces, like a Miami beach and huge McDonald's factories with game pieces being blown around.
My personal suggestion for the inevitable film adaption: I think the story should be told from the perspective of the independent auditor tasked with shadowing Jacobson. Jacobson did things like taunt her on airplanes by sending back empty alcohol bottles from first class to where she was sitting in coach.
How to get it: The Daily Beast published this McScam article this past weekend.
