Always Someone Better: (In this case, Ratings-wise.) The trial of the McDonald's Monopoly fraud was obscured by the impending news of 9/11. | |

The Reveal | |
McMillion$ / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The informant that started it all was Ma Colombo. "Uncle Jerry" was able to rig the contest because had received an envelope loaded with a set of the seals used on the prize envelopes by mistake. Therefore, he was able to open the envelopes and then replace the seal, making it look as if they had never been tampered with. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
McMillion$ / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Lee Cassano believes herself to be this, reporting the scheme to the IRS in an attempt to avoid taxes on the prize money and shocked to discover it went to the FBI. (According to the FBI, however, that was not how they discovered the plan.) The show ends by suggesting a different person was the informant as well. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
McMillion$ / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted. The two central figures of the scheme, Jerome Jacobson and Gennaro Colombo, both go by the nickname "Jerry". One of the investigators interviewed lampshades this by referring to them as "the two Jerrys". | |
