Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Paid $1 Million for McDonald's Monopoly Scam Story

The bidding war that erupted over a Daily Beast story published July 28 about a decadelong scam involving the McDonald's Monopoly contest has resulted in one of the most lucrative rights deals for a single article, sources with knowledge of the deal tell The Hollywood Reporter.

In the end, it was 20th Century Fox and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Pearl Street Films' bid of $1 million — a huge sum for an 8,700-word web feature — that beat out other bids from Universal, Netflix and Warner Bros.

Affleck has committed to directing the project, with Damon set to star, presumably in the central role of antihero Jerome Jacobson. An ex-cop hired to oversee security on the sweepstakes, Jacobson started a side hustle selling high-value playing pieces — including many $1 million prizes — to a wide network of colorful and unsavory types.

I tried to watch it, but shyt was boring as fukk.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

This was interesting. I had no idea about this story. I remember me and my fam were one piece away from winning one of the luxury cars and never got it.

 

[King Sun]

I remember it was a ring of black owned mcdonalds that got caught first in the early 00's with that scam

I remember folks that worked at McDonalds back in the day were hustling peel off fry bags.

I remember Taco Bell was a part of it at one point. I stole like 20 boxes of those cups. I usually was the one doing inventory so I'd just mark it like we went through a lot more cups than we did. Ate free Taco Bell for like a year but never got enough pieces to win any of the big prizes. I was a piece of shyt back then.

One of my homeboys did something similar

he stole a bunch of frie containers and cups from mc donalds when he was working there in high school

won a bunch of petty shyt like double cheeseburger and nuggets but none of the big prizes

thats when i knew this shyt was a scam

nikka literally had over 1000 of them little tickets and all the big prizes was missing 1 ticket

This scam runs deeper than Nixon/Watergate!.... Even the printing company that created the game pieces was on some CIA type shyt....


Edit: Mafia ties into this on this ep with the Colombo crime family.... The brother telling all they business....

It'd be so much easier to do today though.

Just put a code on the containers.

Then do an online site with the code numbers daily for different prize types.

The end.

But these dudes fukked with the coding on the game pieces to control the winnings.... They could advance how they do it today too.... Some mastermind type shyt....

that would be much harder using a randomizer algorithm for the winning numbers each time instead of a game piece saying you won.

 

[Blankthawtz]

I can't believe the Colombo brother droppin so much info on what his family was into... Seems like a killable offense....

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

I think the doc is fire ..did well with the recreations and old footage

can’t believe McDonald agreed to be apart of this ...they are like Disney, very protective or their image
