JOHN ASHCROFT, ATTORNEY GENERAL: More
than $13 million worth of grand prizes have
been corruptly won by the co-conspirators in
the scheme. As you can see, this fraud scheme
denied McDonald's customers a fair and equal
chance of winning. We want those involved in
this type of corruption to know that breaking
the law is not a game.

"In 2000, the US promotion was halted after
fraud was uncovered. A subcontracting company
called Simon Marketing (a then-subsidiary
of Cyrk), which had been hired by McDonald's to
organize and promote the game, failed to
recognize a flaw in its procedures. Chief of
security Jerome P. Jacobson[1] was able to
remove the most expensive game pieces, which
he then passed to associates who would redeem
them and share the proceeds. The associates
won almost all of the top prizes between 1995
and 2000, including McDonald's giveaways that
did not have the Monopoly theme. The
associates netted over $24 million."

Satellites surveillance Satellites surveillance provides suspect's basic
daily activities, and how many places he had

only offer fraud examiner image but also
record of suspects text and computer. if we
know where the suspects are. we can probably
find their computers and their ip address. and
trace their activity online.
