I remember that game. If I recall correctly, you could get 2 of 3 of the pieces or 1 of 2 of the pieces for each street or avenue. The real difficulty was getting the one rare piece.
I ate lots of mcfries trying to get them sons a bitches |

Yeah. Im watching it. It’s really interesting. ****ing chuckleheads. I can’t believe they didn’t get caught sooner
|
It's pretty awesome. The story is crazy by itself. But the loose cannon fbi agent is pretty great too.

There is a surprising amount of humor in this. |
Thanks Carlota. I was to lazy to start a thread about this show but it needed a thread. I am super sucked in. I remember hearing about this scam and then nothing....then I found out the trials for all these guys started on 9/10/2001. That explains why everyone forgot about this. Very well done Doc. Love the FBI agent. Lol.

Nice, I'll check this out
|
Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

I've heard good things. I don't have HBO, but I'll probably get the HBO Go app or something for a month to watch this.

Yesterday seemed a little too unnecessarily long. But great way to close. Someone on Twitter was laughing that everyone involved is a character themselves. There are so many wildly unreliable narrators that it’ll be interesting when the documentary reveals who actually did what.

There was a article posted about this story on here awhile back.
Makes you think how many things have been rigged over the years |
I'm watching, the biggest problem is the people of course are criminals, but they're not even likeable, in fact they're scumbags. I can't believe the FBI takes so long to put them away. The doc itself, is too long. It could of been a 2 hour Dateline episode. If it wasn't for this one FBI agent, it would be like watching paint dry.

The lure of the million dollar payout had so many of them jumping in to buy a winning ticket without truly understanding the payout structure and the mob's cut. If it was a lump sum, they'd at least have some money to potentially payoff their house or buy a few nice things. The $50k per year for 20 years made for a slow trickle after everyone took their piece of the pie.
With the mob Jerry taking half pre-tax and them having to pay taxes on the full amount, they were basically coming out with around $10k a year. After paying in $50k for the opportunity to get in on the scam, it was going to take five years before they broke even. Not exactly the windfall it seemed. |
